It's been a few years since the game released and I personally lost my install cd and manual like 2 years ago(does rome even have such a protection, actually?) so...would that cause problems?

    On money part: I'd personally prefer to play with a historical army of roman troops, not 14 extordinari or stuff like that, eventhough a tournament in general is amazing[should be monthly done indeed!] the idea was to find out which one was better ''historically''(;)) so I wouldn't wanna ''pwn all ya naabs with my l33ttroops'', you know
    I just bought R:TW Gold Edition for either $14.99 or $19.99 about a month ago because my original CD (almost 6 years old now) finally got its last scratch and couldn't install any more clean versions. In Gold you get Vanilla RTW and BI fully patched and just waiting for a clean EB 1.2 install, so it's worth the investment just to go by Gamestop or your local equivalent and purchase a new version and its corresponding CD key.

    Sure thanks for the tip I'll do a quick search online wether i can score a discount version and otherwise i;ll go bargain hunting in old gameshops :). So it's neccesary to have a cdkey for BI aswell? As i'm currently playing on the alex.exe for gameplay reasons..could I just get a gold version and do a second clean install just for multiplaying? Hope i can get everything to work perfectly for the tourney(s ;)

    I got the RTW Gold on sale here in Denmark for $14, which is extremely cheap for a game here, and recommendable as the Gold version runs much smoother.

    Anyway this tournament is a very good idea, if I succeed in updating to 1.2 I will play Rome, but 5 tries have not succeeded and as you might have noticed I am busy these days (no nagging on Danish rivers etc ;-)).

    An important point is that if done right and in good spirits this will also lead to greater friendship and comradeship here, opponents has a way of often becoming friends in games.

    BTW, we need not do the tournament to resolve which culture was superior at building empires and waging wars, history already proved that ;-)

    An update: found a normal rtw game for 6 euros which could be delivered in 3 days, or a gold version for 9 euros with the same delivery rate. As I currently play on ''games aquired in another way '' I probably wouldn't use the games for anyhing else than a clean multiplayer install (thats possibly,right?) so my question then would be; which one to pick?
