You can have multiple accounts on the same PC. Creating them is a bit of a trick though. Most people reinstall the game with a new product key to create a new account, but I believe there is an easier way to do it, I just don't remember what it is.

I already have Nilla. If I bought the complete collection can I just install the expansions and still have a different product ID?

You cannot install only the expansions as far as I know. Steam installs all 3 games at the same time.
btw the sale has ended.

I figured it out. I didn't want to reinstall over Nilla so I just installed it in a different folder. I happened to pick the game up on Amazon (same price) about 2 hours after the sale ended.

@CelticCrusader In order to install just the expansions, copy your base game from your base folder into steam folder and then start the download of complete collection. Steam will automatically discover existing files and just install the missing files that is the expansions + document files and registry entries which you won't be copying but that is not much data.


In order to activate new cd key. Open command prompt and type "regedit" without ". If you have windows 8 or previous version go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" > "Software" > "Microsoft" > "Microsoft Games" Delete Age of empires III, expansion and expansion 2" Now start the vanilla game. It will ask you to enter cd key. Enter your new cd key and make new account.

In case you have windows 10 Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" > WOW6432Node > Microsoft > Microsoft games and delete same 3 folders. The next steps are same as above.
Fine line to something great is a strange change.

There is much better and faster way to do it. There is a script, you launch it and it automatically cleans the registry from previous game keys.

Well why didn't you post it then? Does that mean you don't want to help a guy who asked for help? :P

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.
