It will play the game but what settings I won't promise.

I think it will play Medieval 2 on mostly high settings, and mods with mostly medium settings.

I havent loaded up a total war game in a while (i have to install them again because sadly i have uninstalled them ) ,didnt they have like some auto detect settings feature or something if i remember correctly ,or am i confusing it with another game?

Your CPU, RAM and OS are fine
Cant comment on the GPU without knowing its speed.

My video card has 3.5GB of Video RAM and pixel shader version 5 also i have vertex shader version 5. PS:Also what speed do you mean?

the game has its autodetect settings but you can have custom settings in the Options page.

Your video card is fine. I've played on laptops with worse CPU and worse GPU.

Unless you play on the highest settings, Medieval 2 isn't that GPU intensive, actually. I think the CPU is more important. When the map is zoomed out, the soldiers are replaced by sprites. From then on, it's all about CPU.

GPU is more important for first person shooters.
