        <![CDATA[ Is there anyway I will be able to play this without internet connection? i have played and owned every total war &amp; expansion so far and am bitterly
disappointed and bemused as to why any fan of total war is being excluded in this way.

Please tell me I can activate it manually like with Paradox&#39;s games ]]>

Fortunately my computer desk is on wheels so it should be a simple case of getting an extension lead and wheeling it across. I&#39;ll try to test it out in the

			<description><![CDATA[ Okay, there are WAY too many threads all discussing this issue. PLEASE read the Steam FAQ on the official website:

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.totalwar.com/empire/gameinfo/faq.php">http://www.totalwar.com/empire/gameinfo/faq.php</a>

That should answer any and all questions about activation.

If you&#39;re reading these forums, you have the internet and are unaffected by the activation. If you&#39;re reading these forums in an internet cafe or

			<description><![CDATA[ If Steam shuts down they&#39;ll keep a server running indefinately that will unlock all of your games so you can play them forever without needing Steam. That
is of course, if you have that game on your HDD, if you don&#39;t you lose it forever.
<br>
<br>
But Steam is unlikely to shut down any time soon so you don&#39;t need to worry too much. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ You need an internet connection to setup a new PC, too.....in this day-in-age, having an internet connection is essential. I don&#39;t mind that we are
required to have an internet connection. My only fear is what if Steam goes out of business (it can happen), will we never be able to reinstall ETW? There
needs to be a file or something you download that is your &quot;activation key&quot; that you can backup. ]]></description>
