Total War: Eras Collection

**Matty** · 07-26-2006, 12:08

Greetings all,

I'm thinking of buying the Eras collection because its fairly cheap on Amazon, looks swanky and I've never tried Rome being an MTW man. I would appreciate your learned guidance as to the following:

Does the game have the latest patches or will these have to be downloaded?
Are there any known issues such as the problem with the Gold Edition of Rome that was recently released?

Ta muchly.

The games already come patched and the mistake of the Gold version has been corrected. However, we aren't sure whether S:TW Gold is playable online.

Which issue is there with the Gold version? I´ve just got it (you can hardly get BI of itself around here anymore and if you do it´s about the same price as I´ve got the gold pack - 20€) and I´d be most upset to find it´s worse than having bought BI seperately.

According to the .com site:

"The Gold Edition U.S CD box set ships as version 1.3/14. Those wishing to update will only need to install patch 1.6.
The DVD version of the Gold Edition ships with 1.6, and there is no need to update."

Thanks for the warning. I thought he was refering to the M:TW Gold issue.

I have already got the "Era's" box set.

it is very cool having each game on just one disk including the expansion.
very quick loading times.

i am going to trade in all my old versions for MTW 2 when it comes out.
