If I have a normal version of a game (in this case Rome : Total War/ Rome : Total War Barbarian Invasion) and I want a DLC (Rome : Total War Alexander) from Steam, will it work with my other games that are not from Steam?
Steam – buy DLC for Games I do not own the Steam Version of

Best Answer
No, you cannot purchase DLC on Steam when you do not own the Steam version of the Game. For some older Games Steam does accept the CD Key to unlock this Game on Steam though.

This is not the case for the original version of Total War : Rome though. Only Rome II will be accepted.
