    if performance is anything like empire total war, unless you have a 920/940xm you will be running on medium. Empire Total War is the one thing so far my 740qm cannot handle on anything above medium and then it was not so great. Maxed out I got single digit fps and medium got 40 with dips into the teens.

    Judging by the specs it recommends, it might only run on low. Recommended usually means only running a medium settings. It is asking for a 2nd gen core i5 desktop cpu and a desktop ati 5000 or 6000 series. There is not really laptop equivalents to those yet.
