Okay, I just bought Crown of Glory:Emperors Edition Digital Download Only(yes, I finally gave in despite no widescreen support, I as desperate for a Napoleonic era wargame that's NOT Napoleon Total War plus the holiday sale made irresistible) and was wondering how do I redownload the game.(For future reference)

I'd also like to ask can I burn the game installer onto two CDs? It's 1.4 Gigs but CDs only hold half that. Do I burn it like Normal or do I have to go out and buy DVDs?

If the Installer is 1,4 Gig, you need to burn it on a DVD. To seperate the installer into different sizes you can use an archive program which zips (or generally archives) the installer file down to a size of your choice (where you can burn it into seperate files/volumes), but hell, a DVD burner costs 19 � here, where is the problem ?

No, my computer can burn both DVDs and CDs, but I already have CDs on-hand while I would have to go out I buy DVDs. This is the reason I was asking.

Nevermind about the first question, it seems they send you an email with a link to download it.

Fun game. I loaded up my older monitor and seems to look decent enough at fixed 1024 x 768.

I think you will find it an excellent game.
