2.If I decide to buy game thru online what do I do if my system go down on my PC?
3. Do I need to pay for up dates I see that for DLC you need to do that?
.....

Sorrry i have no idea about stores in Serbia but you should be able to at least buy the game online from the Slitherine shop.

When you purchase the game you get an email with a serial number and a link where from you can download the installer (the link only remains working for a limited time). You can then print out the serial number and backup your installer to an external drive/CDR/USB-stick or any medium of your choice and in case you need to reinstall the game just use it. In case you happen to lose your backup somehow you can always write an email to support[at]slitherine.co.uk with your serial number or in case you manage to lose this too as many information about your transaction (credit card used, name and so on) so they verify it and they will provide you with a download link and/or your serial. So as you see unless every backup fails and you manage to forget nearly every detail about the transaction there will be some way to reinstall your game.

You don't need to pay for patches. Patches always was and will be free. You need to pay tho for additional content like the Grand Campaign or Afrika Corps or Allied Corps. You will get all the engine upgrades and new units and bug fixes introduced with the expansions for free with a patch but obviously you will not get the new campaigns introduced in the add ons.

No worries the questions are somewhere on the border between belonging here or onto the general forum so it's fine and in worst case the administrators always can move it to the proper forum. I hope I managed to answer all your questions but if you have more feel free to ask them.

It's regular. You receive a download link by email for you to use with an Internet browser.

You know, that downloading software by torrent might possibly be slightly illegal ?

You know, there are legal torrents. Few... but exist.

There are actually quite a bit of legal torrents. See here:

Downloading by torrent, or any other means, is not illegal. What might be illegal is the software downloaded, not the method used...
