MadCat34 is on a distinguished road
Well
I have it too since 2-3 days in us version.

AOE3 is on 3 CDs but you can put it on DVD.
Here it's what I did
1 - Create a directory.
2 - Extract the ISO 1 in this directory (exemple "AOE3_DVD").
3 - Extract the ISO 2 and 3 in this directory "AOE3_DVD" but DON'T replace existing files
I install the game after step 3 but you can continue to burn on DVD!

4 - Somewhere in this directory, you'll find aoe3.exe. (I can't remember what is the name of this directory, i'm not at home at the moment ^^)
Rename "aoe3.exe" to "aoe3.bak" and paste in the directory (where you find aoe3.exe) the crack "aoe3.exe" --> When you'll install the game, you won't need to put the NoCD crack )
5 - To burn on DVD: Open "Nero Burning Rom" (or another, i don't care )
6 - Select all files and directory that are in "AOE3_DVD" --> Don'T Burn AOE3_DVD!! (Setup.exe must be in the root of the DVD)
7 - Burn It

Well, because i install from my HDD (because i don't have burn it yet ^^), I think you should burn on DVD+RW to try. Run Setup.exe from the DVD you just create. If it's work, it's good, you can burn it on DVD+R (or -R)


PS: Sorry for my english (i'm french ^^)
