Steam is wonderful at allowing you to install games on multiple computers as long as you are not signed in on more than one at a time. The only thing is that I'm not sure you can transfer the file over to another comp or if you will have to re-download it on your sisters computer, hopefully someone with more experience can help you with that.

Enjoy the game :)

You can play on your sister's computer. Since you aren't able to download the game on her computer, you can download the game on your PC, then burn the game into a DVD so you install Empire on your sister's PC through it.

my dvd burner is long gone, so i should stop the download? right? and do the painful processing of downloading it on her computer :( f**K

I think you either need to download/install on each computer you want to use. Once done though it's great. I've got most Valve games installed on 4 PC's in various places.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

It needs to be installed one way or another, on each computer. Download, or burn it to 2 DVDs



 

 

You purchased the game on steam. Therefore, each computer you want to play it on, you will have to install Steam and then re-download the game. There may be a way to burn the installation files to a disk, but I don't know of it and you will still have to be logged into Steam before you can play it. Just make sure that any computer you install steam on does not start and auto-logon when Windows starts, because only one computer at a time can be logged on with your account.
