Benchmarking Performance MedII:TW

[Freddie]

Does Medieval II have an in built tool that will measure battlefield performance (in terms of FPS)? Or do you need a third party tool like FRAPS to take a measurement?

This is all to do with a little project I had in mind, for people who keep asking about what computer they need to run the game smoothly.

[sapi]

Not afaik.

Bear in mind that fraps has an overhead if you intend to use it.

Fraps benchmarking, doesn't have any overhead.
I would record the scripted overview in the prologue that flies over the units, or one of the historic battles, that way you get the closest possible result in repeated tests.
