The maps in this game are horrible designed. Especially team maps. I don't know why Relic was so lazy that they tried to make maps for multiple game sizes. It just doesn't work.

Langres is a well designed map. One of about ~2 maps, arguably 3, in the entire game that works well, because it's the appropriate size and it's not stupidly designed which horrible choke or cut-off points.

I never upgrade my Penals with Flamers. It's a liability. Penals only get close for a Satchel Charge, past that they're a long range unit. Flamer is more likely to kill you than help you.

Arent these Osttruppen supposed to be Russian / Korsaks?

Doesnt their badge mark them as Hiwis / Hilfswillige?

Ostruppen were all Eastern European/Scandinavian.

Poles, Finns, Norwegian, Danish, Russian, Bulgarian, etc. etc. Most of them were from territories occupied by Russia.

Sony is selling better laptops within that price range iirc.

Your laptop's saving grace is its graphics card. It's not good, but it's good for a laptop. All your other specs are just meh.

I don't know what you call "Demanding" but Civ V is an extremely demanding game. It runs my i7 4x3.2GHz up to 100C degrees. It's really heavy on the CPU due to all the simulations it's running. Same for any strategy game. It wouldn't be an issue if you weren't using a laptop, but you should check the temperature thresholds of your GPU and CPU, you could burn yourself on them running a demanding game, or just flat out melt parts of your laptop if it's too hot when it crashes from the heat. I've managed to boil water on my laptop.

My advice would be to get a laptop around the 15.6" screen range, so it's bigger and better for cooling, but still mobile. Try get a quad core CPU. 4GB RAM isn't really all that much, but for a laptop you can live it I suppose.

My rig;

i7 Q3610M - 2.3x4 GHz(3.2 turbo)
1TB HDD
8GB RAM
NVIDIA GT 630M 2GB


All in all it cost me about 900€. You could get things a few hundred cheaper that are worse, but are better than what you have.

Your weak points are the CPU and RAM.

i don't think relic's trying to say that, you gotta look at this less politically dude

I was referring to a post above mine saying that because they're Relief Infantry they probably shouldn't be all that good because they're just there as a placeholder for other units.

Anyways, I've always wanted Ostruppen to fit into the game somewhere. Like have them instead of Grenadiers, with Grens being put to T2 as penal battalions, and then PzGrens being a T3 unit that's equivalent to Shock Troopers.

Something like that.
