I just got STW today. When I tried to install it I got a message that I need a code which is in the white box on the CD case. I guess its not the original CD case because there was no code. Is there anything I can do about it?

In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. God's visible hand was everywhere, in the rainbow and the comet, in the thunder and the wind. The Devil too raged openly upon the earth; he skulked behind the hedge-rows in the gloaming; he laughed loudly in the night-time; he clawed the dying sinner, pounced on the unbaptized babe, and twisted the limbs of the epileptic. A foul fiend slunk ever by a man's side and whispered villainies in his ear, while above him there hovered an angel of grace . . .

Take it back for a refund/replacement.

The old original. The seller has told me what he thinks is the correct number. I will check on that as soon as I can and let you know how I get on.

Re: installation problem
Have fun BB, and if/when you feel like it share the experience with us. Also don't forget to patch the game with the 1.12 patch. Version 1.0 has an array of annoying bugs including the infamous routing bug that can make battles frustrating.
Please make sure you have the latest version (v3.3)

Installation question
The new kid on the block has another question.
Is it possible to have both the original STW and STW gold installed on the same computer, so you can play the original version, and still play the mongol invasion campatin. I thought it was possible and tried installing the gold to a different folder thatn the original, but I got an error message that said I would have to uninstall the original before I could install gold.

Re: Installation question
1) Install original STW and patch to 1.12
2) Rename installation directory to e.g. "Shogun Total War Original"
3) Install STW Warlord Edition ("Gold") - (or install STW + MI and patch to 1.02) from the setup.exe in on the CDROM (not the autorun launcher).
4) Create link to the "shogun.exe" in the "Shogun Total War Original" directory. Done.

Re: Installation question
Thank you. Next time I get some time, I'll give that a go.

Re: Installation question
It did not work for some reason.
I think I will try doing it in reverse (uninstall original, install gold, then install original) but I can't do that for a while because I want to finish my current campaign first.
