mmm maybe first fix the game before announcing such things? I still can't play it and support hasn't responded to me with a fix, and if you look in the forums there are many players who also cannot play anymore since they installed the addon,...

I bought the first one and I will take this. However I hope they will release more patches to add some more features like more variety of houses and add smaller roads and paved tiles to fill dirt spaces among buildings.

What's the best way to buy this game, then? I want to get it online; will the gold edition be released for digital download? If so, if the demo ends up working (having a bug right now, posted in the other thread), then I would like to know whether it will be cheaper to get the gold edition digital download, or buy it in two separate chunks (GAR, and the the Augustus exp. pack).

Greetings mods, kalypso, others...

I bought the Imperial Romanvm Gold, and it is failing misrably to work with Windows 7, which says that that the TAGES are destablizing the system and then disables those drivers.

Would Grand ages Rome be better for Windows 7?

From whom Should I download it for best reaction?

I purchased IRG two days ago via download. Am I out the money? Can kalypso help me to replace it with this one, GARG?

thanks,
Jack

Where did you purchase/download your game? The retail versions of neither Imperium Romanum nor Grand Ages Gold use the TAGES copy protection, so I doubt this has anything to do with your game.

Cant find the expansion on steam, so now I need to buy the full game + expansion? While I have already the full game from steam?

Here is the Reign of Augustus expansion on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/23455/
