But come to think of it, may be it wasn't worth it. If you wish you can buy it from ebay for around INR 965/-. I would suggest you play medieval 2 total war. Its much better, and is far more stable.
The original version is more stable than the *cough* version ... it does not crash

You have updates and bug fixes that u need to install ..... but ofcourse that ll depend on your source
and yes it is very resource intensive ...... all total war games were like that , need heavy gfx and ram

i am still playing Medieval 2 total war
