From Malfador:
Pentium 500 MHz or better class machine
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
128MB RAM
1024x768 or better screen resolution
16bit color or better color depth
500 megs hard drive space
A video card with 3D acceleration
DirectX 8.1 or higher
A sound card capable of supporting MP3 and DirectSound playback. Sound card must be DirectX 8.1 (or better) compatible.

Assuming these specs are accurate, you really won't need much to play this game - perhaps you could even slap a video card in your old machine!

Are these the minimum, or recommended requirements? If we have a much more robust machine, will that allow us to run battles with higher poly models? Or is the poly count in relation to the game engine, not machine specs?

I'm wondering if the Simultaneus Movement game type works the same way as it does in SEIV, i.e. all battles have to be auto-calculated?

Playing single-player I've found that I by far prefer the Simultaneus type of play, but it's a rather big sacrifice to have to cede control of all battles. A MoO3 type system would have been awesome in single-player.
