Empire Total War: 50% off on STEAM

[Garyj881]

Not seen this posted so a heads up for those who have been waiting for it to drop in price.

A massive 50% off bringing the cost to £14.99.

I was a bit worried about the bugs and crashes with this game but it looks like they fixed a lot of the issues prior to the price drop.

Updates to Empire: Total War have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

* Fixed a bug which which occasionally allowed factions who were not allied to be invited to join a war
* Improved campaign map performance
* Republics will no longer dispute a claim to a throne via a war of succession
* Fixed a crash when pathfinding for embarking/disembarking
* Fixed situation where balance-of-power bar on battle screen was not considering the correct set of reinforcements
* Made the decision of which third-party factions can be involved in a campaign battle slightly fairer
* Interceptions are no longer suppressed when blockading a port
* Fixed rare crash after naval battles
* Fixed rare crash caused by successful revolutionary armies containing units that were not permitted for the resulting government type
* Fixed crash in AI logic structures
* Reduced AI army clustering
* Improved AI invasion troop movement
* Various light infantry behaviour fixes
* Naval and Land unit balancing
* General AI improvements

True and saves downloading 14gb of game, but I prefer Steam.

It installs onto steam from the boxed version, mate.
You can get the boxed special forces version for that price if you shop around.
That's what I did and it plays on steam, with achievements and all.
