Hi
What about the Special Forces Pack that Steam is offering?
It's worth the extra-money? there will be no other way to acquire it?
I have a problem. My computer is slightly over the minimum requirements and I want to lend the game from my friend (for a day) to check if everything runs properly, without glitches and on which detail level. Then I'm going to buy my copy of the game. I've heard that Steam makes lending games impossible. It also prevents me from selling the used game on e.g. eBay. What should I do?
And how to sell the game?
As itīs my first post, Hello.
A very informative post, added many things that i didnt know about ETW+ steam.
Lautaro, i do think that buying it is the only way to aquire the extra contents at the moment, and yes itīs worth the extra money in my opinion

1. Log into his Steam account
2. Download and install E:TW (through his account)
3. Try it out
You can 'lend' games through steam easily, just log onto the lender's account (with their permission, obviously). You can install E:TW on as many computers as you want with an account, just only 1 person can play at a time.

Do you have to pay monthly a fee for mulitplayer?

Do steam games use a country lock because i ordered the E:TW special forces edition from a company in New Zealand and i live in Australia, so will it work. it is in the PAL region
steam+TW series=Win
i have always loved steam and its great friendliness. now that all my mates from TWCENTER will now be there with me makes it even better (steam is best application in the world imo)
if your talking about you get bored of the game and want to sell it on say ebay (blasphemy btw) i believe you can just take the game off your steam and all that good nonsense before you sell it. basically terminate its relation with your steam account

You look great today.

I have read the first post, and I am afraid I still have some questions.
I am a very traditional gamer, when I buy a game I like to believe that what's in the box is the finished product. This is why I dislike complicated add-on stuff that obviously requires a masters degree in computer engineering in order to be understood.
Now. 1). From what I understand Steam is not included in the install disc. Should I install the game before downloading the steam product? Or should I install the game after installing the Steam product? Why not make steam available in the game from the beginning?
2). Is the process automatic, i.e will I be forced to do a lot of stuff in order to make the game work as it should? Will my game detect steam on my computer and thereafter auto-calculate the entire process?
3). I still do not understand "the offline mode", I have visited the steam website and read all the instructions (obstructions), and it's all very vague. I never play computer games online (always offline), therefore I'm wondering if the "offline mode" will be automatic, i.e will a little box appear when I install the game saying "would you like to install Steam Online or Steam Offline?
4). Will the booklet that comes with Empire: Total War include a "step-by-step for dummies" guide of the installing/steam process? Because I simply do not understand the stuff proclaimed in the first post.
Many thanks in advance.

Well, Steam is a program by itself, so you can easily find the "settings" button when you have installed it.
When you are in settings it is just in the bottom of the window, but actually, as I just checked it out to be sure i found out that as a default the offline mode is activated, so you don't have to do a thing but install steam and activate Empire, then you can take the computer off the internet and start steam offline, ready to play
