Stronghold 2 v1.3.1

[RadiantB]

2 quick questions:

1. Is it possible to play the 1.3.1 version without burning anything. (I don't have a writer)
This may sound weird, but pls, don't start nagging about it. ^^
I do have the necessary utilities to play cracked games, such as D-Tools, Alcohol, SRstop and SD4hide.

2. Is there a big difference between the 1.2 (for which a real crack exists) and the 1.3.1 version ?

A simple yes or no is fine by me. I just don't want to encounter a major bug, when I'm enjoying the game. (in Stronghold 1 I couldn't get past a certain mission, because it kept crashing, I 'solved' it by downloading a savegame of the next mission)

I'm subscribed to this thread, so don't worry, I'll be coming back if someone replies.
