non civ-related, but
normally can other games be tricked that way? (i.e no minspecwarning?)
Some can, some like Oblivion can't. in Oblivion's case, your comp's graphics card MUST support Hardware Transform and Lighting (mine doesn't grrrrh) and so far this is unbypassable (is that a word?).
It all depends upon the game. Many games refuse to identify intel "onboard graphics" for an example, and while these aren't very good, they are adequate with low graphics settings for most games. It's best to check a forum for the specific game to see if min specs can be bypassed. And it's pointless "tricking" a game into running, and then finding it's utterly unplayable with your current setup anyways....
