smashed my copy of E:TW with a two pound beater

Extremely useful necro.

There's no option to play Empire offline that i can see. Sometimes, when my computer and modem have been turned off for 6 or 7 hours and i turn it back on, the modem tends not to respond for about 30 minutes, needs to get warmed up i suppose, whatever. Anyway, it did it when i woke up this morning so i decided i'd try and get Empire to work.

After 30 minutes of trying i have concluded that you can't play Empire when not connected to the internet. Which, even the most diehard of Steam fans and Empire fans must admit, is absolutely horrible.

My computer that I use to play games is rarely connected to the internet and yet I am still able to play empire. :thinking:

Yeah, you just need to have steam permanantly set on offline mode.
