I'm not sure that my laptop can handle Empire Total War, but it can handle the rest fine. I'm thinking about getting a new laptop (or a desktop) this summer, so I have a question about Steam. Can I redownload the games in 6 months time if I buy them now. I definitely want Rome Total War (can't find my retail copy) now, but can I redownload everything on the new system later?

Yes, you can download a game any number of times. The exception being games that have a limited number of activations, Empire: Total War isn't one of them.

R u sure? isn't an activation putting it on steam?

(otherwise, this sucks big time....)

 

anyways Medieval II came out in the ear I was AFK (well in WoW) so never got to have fun with it... will get the complete pack tonight!

By "activation" I mean when it is installed on a PC.

Games that have limited activations on Steam include: Batman: Arkham Asylum - 4 per month machine activation limit; Crysis - 5 machine activation limit. All the games, or almost all the games, with limited activations are listed here.
