Hehe, yeah and when you click on, I agree, do you really know what you are agreeing to.
You might be selling your whole family into lifelong slavery in a DVD factory in Sweden.

The lack of any "readme" file was the most interesting thing to me. They seem pretty confident that there's no last-minute changes we need to know about.

There's also no province map, which makes life interesting. I'm going to remain a horde as the Huns until I've explored things thoroughly. There appears to be no hurry.

CORRECTION: GAH! There is a readme file. You open it from the main menu.

Got my copy this morning.

Like the idea of installing straight over RTW install and being able to play either, depending on which disc you have in your drive.

My problem: I have installed and each time I try to start the BI game I get a window with this message.....

The Application has failed to start because MSS32.DLL was not found. Try reinstalling etc

Have reinstalled twice and still the same message.

RTW starts up ok.

Can anyone help me with this please?

Edit: I have now copied the file from the original install so don't get this window now, but now get........ Failed to initialize 3D audio

Got it today. Works fine. WRE looks a killer, but am gonna start with the Sassanids..

With RTW however.. I can't seem to play Dacia, Armenia any more (they were already unlocked).. just get a CTD. Any ideas?

"The Application has failed to start because MSS32.DLL was not found. Try reinstalling etc"

I saw this message a number of times too. After the third time of: uninstall rtw, reinstall rtw, install BI, doesn't work, uninstall rtw and BI, and do over, I got in.

Most annoying. By the third install, the time seemed to take forevvvver...

BTW, when I picked up the box at the store, it was so light I had to make sure I wasn't getting one of those empty boxes you see that advertise the soon to arrive game. No map?????

Gamestop, but it was a pre-order.

Got BI at 12:20 today Had to wait until 5pm to play it though

But having played a few custom battles and multiplayer battles, it is great
