	Log in to remove this sponsored message I read on the Total War website that the game will have to be activated via Steam before it can be played, which leaves those without access to the ol' interpipe well and truly screwed. My response has been to initially yell "Bollocks" rather loudly in a public place, and then to get onto BT to sort out a Broadband connection sharpish:cool:. What about the rest of you? Is Steam a blessing or a curse? Any thoughts? (No, not the ones involving your aunt, a gerbil and some rhubarb) ------------------- [URL=http://www.fm-base.co.uk/sig][/URL]

	I think, if Fm 09 is anything to go buy, you can activate it by phone call as well. But still, unless it's free-phone, it still takes the mick having to buy the game and then spend more money to be allowed to actually play it.

	On the other hand, Spore was steam-only, and judging by what it says on the TW website, it looks like CA are going the same way.... ------------------- [URL=http://www.fm-base.co.uk/sig][/URL]

	The official empires site has a faq about steam. I'll just quote the answer to the question: "Do you need to be connected to the internet to play Empire: Total War?" quote Empire: TW You will need to connect to the internet to authenticate Empire: Total War via Steamworks. If you play the game in single player you will not be required to be connected to the internet. If you wish to download the latest updates, exclusive units or play a multiplayer game of Empire: Total War, you will need to be connected to the internet. The faq can be found here: http://www.totalwar.com/empire/gameinfo/faq.php -------------------
