I intend to pre-order this game as soon as I can.

But, I've heard of a lot of games being released with these DRM's. So that if I buy this game, I will only be able to reinstall the game 3 times. I clean my hard drive completely about every 3 months so if this is the case I probably wont buy it.
I've been a loyal fan of the Total war series and I still own all the games and expansion packs since the start. But copying EA's lead on the DRM thing will be too much for me.
