The game does not function properly without mods.
Save system fails, so you gotta play the Campaign in one go.
There is no AI to fight against in skirmish gamemodes, so it's PVP only.
For AI to become available and saves to work you need to download mods.
Unless you're an old fan of the game wanting to play it again, I do not recommend it.

I had this game on cd before steam existed and i played it till the cd burned out. I love this game. Since getting it on steam it has gone through several updates not only fixing issues but also updating some graphics, such as but not limited to the main menu upgrades, and even added more achievements. it did also fix bugs but i abused most of them so i didnt mind them being there :P
the game doesnt limit you too much in what strategies you can use. there are several mission in which you can, even on the highest difficulty, rush the enemy base with your starting units and wipe them out but this is mostly early to mid game. at least the way i play it is. there are also maps where you just chill, either waiting for triggers to go off or to research / build up a large enough force to take a point. normally later in game when the later tech is in use. i enjoy the game, i dont have to think too much when playing since im just relaxing and i return to it every couple of updates to see whats changed.
as a warning, the game has some branching paths and one of these is significantly harder than the others. have fun. XD
