Hope this turns up in the right place...

Impulse doesn't really bother me because Galciv2 is such a good game, but other posters have a point.

I like the Total War games too, but I recently refrained from buying the Napoleon version because the box stated (in very small writing) that you HAD to have Steam to play it.  I don't want to be forced into geting something I don't want just to play a game.  If all companies did this then it'll turn off gamers like myself who don't always have an internet connection (I play Galciv2 on a laptop with a wifi connection and only log-on now and agin to check for updates).
