That would probably be your problem. Just buy the game.

Also, I think these forums have an anti-piracy policy.

Edit: yep:

Examples of objectionable messages include, but are not limited to:
Posts containing addresses of warez sites or anything piracy-related; note that this includes "hacks" designed to enable Shogun: Total War or Medieval: Total War to run without a CD.

Link to the rules
By the way the rules do seem to be a little outdated (rome is not mentioned)

Its perfectly legal to use an image file to run the game; aslong as you have actually purchased the game. I myself use daemon tools to run all my games as it runs faster and i dont have to locate CDs and as i play lots of games i dont have to have them all to hand.

Its only illegal if you dont actually own the game yourself. As i can play EB i dont think this the problem.

@ Draek25

Count yourself lucky....use your time to do something productive instead of playing Total War
Think about all the things that could have been achieved with the man hours spent playing this game.
