    Well I did as I said and then offered to send CA 10 euros for the game on their forums. Surprisingly next time I visited the fiorums I got this:

    Being banned is not a badge of honour. It's a sign that you aren't worthy to be a member of a community.

    You advocated using bittorrent pirate on our official site, and yet seem surprised that you were banned. The offer of 10 euros was neither here nor there - you were advocating theft, for that is what piracy is. If you're daft enough recommend stealing from the owners of the forum you are on, then you shouldn't be surprised when you get banned.

    Fishpants, I; behalf of the ORG community apologize to you.

    Though, he kind of has a point:
    I own all the RTW (including 2 copies of RTW) games so I don't see why I have to buy them all again just so my collection can be complete.
    In short. It means that why if someone wants to get Alexander, he must buy the whole "Total War Eras".. Wouldn't that be a waste of money (In the case where you have all the precious titles, I mean).

    P.S. I am not in anyway encouraging, or even implying the use of illegal ways to obtain the Alexander expansion.

    Well I bought it online and downloaded and order the optional CD...

    The 4 times thing is not how often you can install it. It is how many times you can download it. But as long as you keep the downloaded software somewhere safe then you don't need to download it again.

    I spent the extra bucks onthe optional CD which turned up promptly and is safely tucked away in the BI box...

    I really don't see what the issue is. If you really liked RTW (playing the Greeks) then this is more of the same plays really well. If not then I suggest avoiding it!

    If I got Era's it would just be for completeness and the book as I already have all the software in it...

    So you can buy the Alexander CD alone?

    EDIT: The annoying thing is that I'm going to get it anyway..

    No you have the extra option of having a Cd as well when you buy it. And i've installed ATW over 7 times so far so id agree with the othe rposter who said it refers to the amount of times you can download it.

    And it is worth getting, the cmapaign is real fun, a nice challenge with different gameplay feel to it than RTw or BI.
