    Default I would buy Alexander IF!!!

    Well, currently as it is, there are 2 ways to get Alexander, either DL it or get it with Total War Eras. The first option is stupid, since I read Simon saying that you only can use it 4 times?! What is in my opinion simply crap, and since I can't use it except on one PC? And I'm going to get a new one soon..

    The second choice is also stupid (For me), give me one site that is ready to ship to Jordan without at least 20 $ shipping costs.. Eh. I usually get the games I really want through like, someone is going to USA, I ask him to get me a copy.

    So.. What do you think ?

    IMO, Alexander's not worth the money.
    The historical battles aren't bad, but the campaign becomes pretty boring after like 30 minutes, because there's little to no variation.

    If I'm to get it, that would be to gain the 'so-called' AI progress..

    I would buy it if they sent out a CD (small package)
    I just don't want to fiddle with the online subscription (RTW don't play that great on my Comp.)

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    As far as I undestand (don't have XP), the strenght on campaign is in its challenge. Still since only Macedon is playable there is not too much variety.

    Also (I think?), this is kind of game that needs online authentication on every play (like NWN official modules), which makes it necessary always to be online in order to play. That's not kind of game I would ever buy.

    Wait till the cd version comes out there will be a fan made patch to fix all that online validation nonsense in a user friendly torrent site near you: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.

    I agree. Like in Serbia (especially me as I'm in province) where broadband internet is science fiction.

    Fishypants we all know that having Alexander on CD only in the Eras box is the only way you'll get the public to buy this box in the first place. We all have the games already all 3 of them. How times do you intend to sell us those 3 gameswith different editions. I don't have a connection on my gaming rig since I don't play online so I have to fork out 60 euros for an addon? After playing the addon for 4 hours I consider myself lucky for not having wasted my money.

    Hi,

    I'm a bit confused but what is this story about Alexander only being useable 4 times? 4 times what exactly?

    Cheers

    Simon said that you can only use it 4 times? Right Simon?

    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.
