yes!
You can also do the quick way. Install the game, run the game from the original .exe file, shutdown the game, dont push out the cd.
Run alcohol, add settings that support fast safedisc, than make an image.

It will go mutch faster now . Or you contine where you left, becuase of you have hit the cancel button now, it will take atleast the 25min again + another 25min maybe...or even 6-8hours....who knows....

so does this mean no cracked exe?

i let it ride through and right after i posted my message it started flying. took about 25 mins just to get past the protection then for the remaining cds took about 5 mins. i got it working so cool and thanks for the reply

May I second the question about the no-CD?

meaning: is there a no-CD out yet for 1.2? I've searched the relevant sites but nothing came up...

My problem is that I have a defective CD - installs fine but doesn't recognize it afterwards, when I try to run the game - and the local house here in Greece that imports RTW say they will have to order a replacement CD from the makers... that would take (since we are talking about Greek time - it's kinda warped) about 4-6 weeks, and I really am not fond on waiting that long to play my fav. game.

There is some mini-image file that can be found at one RomeTW thread at megagames forums (or as 2.17MB RAR at eMule). Mount it with Alchohol and you won't need no-cd anymore (works with all patches).
