You would think that there would be a no-CD crack for 1.1; or even that it would be possible to have more than one Rome executable on your hard disk, one with the crack applied, and one without; and that you could happily use the crack knowing that you had a legitimate copy of the game, and were not some cheating warez lowlife.

If only all that was possible, you could use the appropriate exe depending on whether you were playing online or not. Then you would only need the CD for multiplayer.

But of course, that is all idle speculation, because we all know that cracks are illegal, and tantamount to holding a gun to CA's collective temples, whilst rifling through their wallets.
