    I have no idea how to acquire games in Iraq, what do you do when you buy other games? (except for origin)

    Does it work, if you change "download region" to another country?

    Could you perhaps just use your card via paypal ( if paypal is supported in iraq)

    You can try buying it here:
    http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/it/e...l-war-rome-ii/
    or here:
    http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/total-war-rome-2-po
    On the 3rd september they'll send you a serial to put on Steam.
    Disclaimer: the post above is way way prealpha, the final version will be way better than this.

    Iraq has no problem with the mastercard. Its Steam a U.S. company that,s the hassle.
    They probably think the Bush sanctions are still in place.

    If you buy the boxed version you can still download it from steam (even if it doesn't make much sense), just use the serial key you get with it to activate the game on steam and it will be added to your account.

    I use to live in Pakistan so I feel your pain and I have some suggestions that will hopefully help you:

    1. Just go to a local video game retailer and preorder the disk. Once you get the disk the game downloads on to steam anyways and then you never need the disk again.

    2. If there are no stores in your area you could ask a friend from another country to buy the disk and ship it to you. I used to have my friend in London ship me video games, it's a hassle but it works

    3. Try this website: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/ca/e...l-war-rome-ii/ they will give you a digital copy of the game but I don't know if it takes Iraqi credit cards.

    4. Get an American dollar MasterCard, this should work, but it should only be used as a last resort because it is a big hassle and they may still reject it because of your region.

    Hope one of these works for you!
