Guys, there's a War Total Rome game coming! ...uh, Total Rome War. um...

[Crossroads]

You were able to enter your old disc keys and get a discount??

Somehow I thought as that's how it'd play. But no, I got the discount because I had the Rome Total War already at my Steam library, too. I bought it some time ago as it was selling next to nothing iirc.

[Oche]

I'm in...if they decide do this for Medieval 2 TW as well i'm also for it.     \m/  :clap:

^Hello stranger.

And thanks for posting Crossroads. I almost went into nerd rage - I'm annoyed enough that CA didn't set up a discount for old schoolers who have the discs.

Frequently you can activate a game on Steam by entering your hard copy code in the activate game tab.  I don't know if it will work with Rome 1.  You'll have to try it to find out.

I honestly don't remember if I bought the Steam versions separately or activated them...

[Crossroads]

Steam remembers, of course. I had bought RTW from a sale for some three bucks  :nerd:

Well. I had bought the RTW Collection which includes RTW and BI. I also have Alexander in my library, but have not purchased that one. Could it be that it was available via disc key at some stage...

[Gusington]

I've never activated anything on Steam from a disc and without reminding from Toonces, etc., I would never even remember that it's possible.

After hiking with the dog today and spring cleaning out the yard and deck, I suppose I could go traipsing around my basement looking for my original Rome TW disc, dig it out (eventually), activate it on Steam, cancel my pre-order with Fanatical and save 9.00.

But I'm beat and feeling lazy now...but...in the back of my head is something yelling '9.00 is 9.00!'

There's still time...:)

Whoa I didn't know you could use the cd key from a physical copy to activate a game on Steam.  I know exactly where my old RTW cd is as I was just recently re-organizing my gaming desk drawers.  Gonna try this tonight when I get home.

[Gusington]

^Don't let me catch you in my basement.

[Sir Slash]

 ;D  Hell No! That's where Hoffa ended-up isn't it? 

[Gusington]

^Far more ancient evils lurk down there, I assure you  >:D

[W8taminute]

^Thanks for the heads up Gus.  I was planning on using your basement to stage my nefarious deeds but now I'll steer clear. 

[Toonces]

Funny enough, I was checking this out on Steam again last night.  I'm all-in, day 1, no questions asked.

If it's as awesome as I expect it to be, meaning scratches my own personal itches, then I desperately hope M2TW gets the same treatment.  And I'll be all-in day 1 on that too.

Giggity!

[Gusington]

I do indeed think that remastering R:TW is a 'toe in the water' for M2:TW, probably their most beloved title. I just hope that doesn't preclude Total War: Medieval 3 from seeing the light of day.

[JasonPratt]

If anything, scoring rebuy cash from remasters of RTW and M2TW should help capitalize on M3TW.  :bd:
