Age of History 3: PC requirements and the PC you need

About Age of History 3

Age of History 3 is a grand strategy war game by Lukasz Jakowski. You take charge of a civilisation on a map of the world and guide it through the ages, from the earliest times right into a future era, managing its economy, diplomacy and armies as you form alliances or conquer your neighbours. It is a single player game and supports Steam Workshop mods. It has low requirements, with a GTX 460 and 4 GB of memory recommended, so any of our gaming PCs plays it perfectly.

What Age of History 3 needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs basic graphics: built-in graphics on a modern processor, or an old entry-level card, and to play it well the makers suggest almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, with 4GB of memory.

A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?

This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably at high settings.

On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.

On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.

Questions about Age of History 3 on PC

How we match: we compare the graphics card and the memory in each PC with the makers' spec, because those decide most of how a game runs. For very new or demanding games, ask us and we will check the processor too. More help: graphics cards explained, how much RAM, which screen.
