Alexander did get to Afghanistan - they may have adopted the style from the Macedonians.

I say drop support for the old chips, everyone needs good reasons to upgrade and being on such old hardware only holds progress back!

A software renderer isn't going to work, it would basically need to be a 2D sprite based engine to achieve playable speed and that would require lots of changes to art and a whole new rendering engine, it would be easier to keep/rewrite the fixed render path.

I've already said it internally but let me go ahead and say it publicly: as much as I feel for the around 1-3% of the people who will be left out when the switch happens, I think it is much more important to pave the way for future improvements and an overall better graphical gameplay experience. Technology advances at a fast rate and eventually everybody (of the the said 1-3%) will catch up. That is the great thing about open source and tech... they just keep getting better and better. On a side note, eager to see how far the capabilities of the engine are pushed and what the limits will be. Only time shall tell
