Intel HD 4000 should be ample to run it on low/medium settings. I know I accidentally run it with my Intel GPU wiih everything maxed out (at 1366x768) and it is playable.

Indeed it does run fine until I get too ambitious, the giant Earth map pack did mention in it that you need at least a 4-core CPU though, which I do have (i5-3210M) but it definitely slows down when I start getting over 100 cities*. At some point after that if I save and close the game, I won't be able to reload from that save, It will just hang and then crash. It's probably just the CPU or RAM that can't cope with all the data.

*probably not purely related to the number of my cities but the entire ecosystem inc. CPU cities and all the units.

I can not imagine an i5 and Intel HD 4000 struggling that much. But I do not like playing on the larger maps. I like about 8 civs

Idk if you care about a 1080p screen as much as I do (if you do not want 1080p then the laptop is a bit pricey) but that one I linked earlier can do this

That is plenty more power than I need for my laptop. I just want to be able to play any strategy game or indie at 1080p and it should be able to accomplish that
