Does anyone know if Paradox's Crusader Kings II (http://www.paradoxplaza.com/games/crusader-kings-ii) will play reasonably well on the new 2012 Macbook Air (with Intel HD Graphics 4000)? It still has Intel integrated graphics obviously, but I understand they're meant to be better than the HD Graphics 3000 on the 2011 model (which aren't explicitly supported by CKII on the Mac, though the earlier Macbook Air NVIDIA GeForce 320 is)
I currently have an early-2008 15" Macbook Pro, but would like to move to something smaller (and don't see the point in the Retina 13" Macbook Pro model due soon, as it won't have dedicated graphics). The only sort of games I really play are strategy games like For the Glory, Europa Universalis III and Crusader Kings (have not bought CKII yet), rather than 3D shooters etc., but obviously games like CKII, EUIII do make use of 3D graphics - is the Intel HD Graphics 4000 enough to run these?
