Urban Empire System requirements
Last update: 10 February 2017
Urban Empire has quite optimal system requirements, however, it is worth mentioning, that as in the case of most strategy games, the production puts more pressure onto the processing power of the CPU, than onto the graphics accelerator. On weaker hardware configurations, with a large number of created districts, drops in the fluency of animations and the slowing down of the flow of time in the game can be experienced.
