Download steam now, they're having a huge sale.

Just have a browse there you can find some games for a few dollars, might be worth picking up GTA: IV for $7.50 but quickly because there's only about an hour left on the sale!!

Might be worth downloading it again and from another site.

Depending on what I'm downloading I get between 1.5MB/s and 3.2MB/s

So nope.

Sigh stop using Xfire as statistics... it doesn't show how many people are playing games, it just shows how many xfire users are playing games.

Oh and is it really suprising that it got overtaken by CSS probably the most popular online FPS of recent memory combined with the fact it has just been on sale for $5.

Company of heroes, world in conflict...

Those aren't empire building.

Anyway for my suggestions:

Any and all of the total war games
King Arthur Role Playing War game
Rise of Nations
AI Wars
Sins of a Solar Empire (to some degree)
Sword of the Stars

Ummm if you're willing to branch out a bit maybe try some games like Civilization IV, Hearts of Iron III, Europa Universalis III and maybe even the X series (X2: The Threat, X3: The reunion, X3: Terran Conflict etc etc)

Empire: Total War? :lol:

Anyways just don't make the throttle, I like to climb in increments of 20 with a few seconds pause in between each.

Also if this is your first sim maybe you should try turning some stuff off in the realism settings and then slowly turning them back on as you get better.

Divinity 2, not out in the US but is in Europe and Australia... and possibly other places.

ARMA II is garbage, so many better games to take up space on your HD.

Really? Name me one other game that can substitute for ArmA 2
