i cant get the game running. been awhile and i reinstalled the things. but when i click the empires button it says cant do that now. strange or is the game down for maintance or something?
Are you getting the "game unavaliable, try later" message? If so, it's a steam bug, just close it down, and restart it. If it still doesn't work, open up your steam folder, and delete the ClientRegistry.blob file.
