why don't you just buy another dvd drive to put in your pc? that's what I do so I don't have to change out disks. They can be bought now for less than $10 sometimes and you won't expose yourself to viruses from cd cracks or have to spend an hour to get a virtual drive to work.
You need some of the following.. rams, ladders, siege towers, catapults, and/or elephants to breach walls. Once your actually in the walls you need to take the center region of the city.

I have two catapults, but i thought they were for lobbing boulders at troops behind the wall...ha, i did not think i could aim them at the walls...and they are only good for one shot each...they dont auto-reload. I will try again. The most successful strategy in the total war games is usually to wait the city out. Siege but don't attack. Eventually they will have to come out and fight you or risk starvation. Then you fight them on your terms and you will save a lot of troops that way. Don't be in a hurry to take over the world too quick.
Looks good. Glad to see people still play adventure games. Steam has the Longest Journey and Indigo Prophecy for $10 each should I purchase them? (Not sure if I could even find retail versions of these games, much less know if they'd cost less)

Well The Longest Journey versions are pretty expensive if you buy them in unopened condition. For $10 its definitely worth it as long as graphics aren't a huge concern.
[QUOTE="halo2_4_pc"] Still, I would like to know if I should go with the Core i5 or the Phenom II X4 965 if I have been refunded after all.Angry_Mushroom
go with a 955. its the same chip just a lower clock. the i5 performs better (not really for games) however the socket has no big future while the AM3 is going to supported for a while Y'know people keep saying that the 1156 is a dead socket... How? Did I miss some big joke that intel did not in fact release yet another load of chips for the 1156? In the end no socket has a"big future." They will all be replaced by something better and with more pins. I agree. Intel has a roadmap into 2013 for the 1156. This will most likely be the socket of the future for the midrange market over the old 775 socket.
Well the Agatha Christie stuff I mentioned before are good mystery adventure games. Another way better one is the Silent Hill III. They came out with a fourth one also but I haven't played it yet. Its called Silent Hill Shattered Memories and it got excellent reviews in general.
hmmmmm tough genre. My favorites are by far The Longest Journey and its sequel Dreamfall. The Sam and Max series has been popular but there is no hard core puzzle solving there. The Agatha Christie games are somewhat poorly done but the writing and puzzles are excellent.
Well I guess it depends on what you are expecting. Why do you need your gaming machine to be a laptop? The battery won't last long playing games and its not upgradable and there are graphic driver issues and the "m" class graphic chips are not compatible with many games. If you are dead set on a laptop this is the lowest end one I would use for gaming. It will probably do alright now but it won't age well. The processor is slower than the q6600's that were popular 3 years ago (don't buy the turbo mode specs since most games are now coming out multithreaded). They give you plenty of RAM but it is slow (1066mhz). Also do not confuse the gtx 260m being anything like the gtx 260. Overall it depends on what you need but this likely will under perform for gaming.
