Perfectly safe, Steam doesn't sell Hentai. Although I don't really know what type of game it is.

no crashs and corrupted save games anymor
and ai turns are fast
Napoleon is better programmed though and much safer but empire had different programming very unsafely buggy and much work had done to make it safe
but Napoleon only has european theare whereas in empire yu get india and america theatre too
still missing asia theatre or even whole world in one
shogun 2 only has japan scenario

Nah you play as some finishing school broad.
Thanks to a bunch of sales on Amazon on Steam (no Steam Summer sale in sight though):
I got Red Orchestra 2, Magicka collection, CK2 plus all DLC (except the coming Islam one), Victoria 2 + AHD, and the Sword in the Stars 1+2 and some combat airplane sim. Really nice to have some Amazon credits stockpiled. Also picked up Sins of the Solar Empire: Trinity a while back.
Magicka is awesome, but the lack of online players cripples its multiplayer. I think this game would be awesome as a slightly DOTA-ish MMO that broke the DOTA mold. Bosses are a little hard to beat single-player and losing hours to practicing to beat the same encounter is tedious. But this is one of the best action-rpg games that actually makes you think as you fight. For $3, $5, or $12, this is a great collection and worth supporting.
I enjoyed RO2, but the lack of maps and the slightly crappy infantry/vehicle controls (it should let you define separate sets for each), makes it get repetitive. Plus I need a clan that plays it well to really enjoy it, since this is really not a CoD clone. I still play once a week, and this is a worthy game to own, but I'm semi-burned out on it.
CK2 is fun, but like most Paradox games I'm still learning how to actually achieve ends. Pretty nice RPG-ish feel to it. I have fun playing dinky kingdoms (Tyrone or Brittany, or the Danes) and trying to make them at least noteworthy.
I'm also liking Victoria 2 as it beats Victoria 1 hands down, excepting a slight lack of historical presentation that Vic1 had (in the tech tree). I still have the problem of not sure how to get the lesser nations full of capitalists, but I had fun getting the Central American States up to GP status just through spending and teching.
Not enough time to play SoTS seriously. The first one has some nice thematic scenarios that I'm starting to play. The second one looks prettier but takes eons to get into a demo match and then the controls and display make very little sense at that. I think the devs would have been better to just make SoTS 1 prettier, but I need to play more to really grasp these games.
I also played a bit of Sins. Kind of fun but the antimatter gimmick turned me off (basically they slow down the 4X by limiting how often units can use special abilities by quite a bit). It could definitely have more eye candy.

You're best off finding someone to play with reliably. It makes the game twice as fun and the accidents you can make with spells near your partner can be... rather amusing at times.

Yeah I found my power-typing area effect skills from SP are not really appreciated in multiplayer. Beam attacks are a bit friendlier for multiplayer. I'd be nice if there was a cone spray mutator to change spray shapes to get some non-team killing area effects.

I picked up the first The Force Unleashed game a few weeks ago. Just beat it for the second time last night, so I've taken both Light and Dark sides now. Pretty fun game, probably more fun than the Jedi Knight games, though your Dark Side allegiance makes your Force powers narrower. There were certainly times I would have liked to Mind Trick someone over having to bash him through a wall, and I was frustrated why I was able to pull down a Star Destroyer and compact an AT-ST into a small cube, but I couldn't pick up and throw one of the Purge Troopers. I also am still waiting for a Star Wars game in which a James Bond style of sneaking around actually gets you somewhere, with guards and alarms and dark corners to hide in from them.

Whatever you do, do NOT get Force Unleashed II. It is a HUGE disappointment.
