Hi everyone new to posting, but have been around since time began. I have a few questions and am looking for a few answers... I own the original STW, plus I have the original STW(WE), about 6 month ago I loaded up STW(WE) and the game was running smooth for about 10 turns then it crashed to the desk top? uninstall/reinstall now the game is running but the throne room dose not have no sound and yes crash to the desk top?? O.K. done put it away and forget about it!!!! Now it is time to become "Shogun" once again. I know my computer can handle the game OS=XP, 240gig HD, ATI 9700 pro, 1gb ram, P4,ect... is this the Starforce crap or just the Win98 vs. xp mode? What is the best clan I like "Takeda" pony city, "Shimaza" secluded build an empire, "Hojo" cheep buildings, "Oda" center expand all directions, "Uesugi" bow men are great island hop oh yea, any way I need to get this up and running any help would be appreciated. Thank's oh yea you guys MP on the net definitely need to get hooked up .PS if I go buy "Eras" is that the latest versions of all the games on disk or just the old games thrown into a box for some fast cash and a intro for new players?????
