Well, you just need to download the client again and most steam games have the save information as well as profile information in the cloud, so you just need to download the local content and you'll be up and running again.

Yep. I just bought a new laptop about three weeks ago, and the reinstall of Steam and my games library went off without a hitch.

Too easy. As the french I always win. Even managed to break the British at sea and occupy both England and Ireland.

Do you use Darthmod? Somewhat harder.

Although I usually play as France, too, and can usually manage to beat the British.

Actually, you can just copy and paste the entire Steam folder over the network. Smile
