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 wha...

About This Game
An American geological expedition, under a UN mandate, assesses the natural resources in a distant part of Siberia, deep in the trackless steppes of Eastern Russia. But instead of oil, they discover a deposit of a hitherto unknown mineral.
American scientists working for Department of Defense find out that this mineral is in fact identical to the substance used to power an extraterrestrial artifact in their possession. This object is called the EON (Extraterrestrial Object Nexus).
It was found in 1919 by Colonel Emerson near the site of the Tunguska explosion. Emerson was the commander of a US military unit in charge of transporting US war supplies from the city of Vladivostok to the Eastern front during World War I.
DoD Experiments have shown that items placed in the capsule are transported hundreds of thousands of years back in time. The American scientists were not able to understand its construction, nor could they manage to synthesize its fuel. Eventually, the machine - classified Top Secret - was stored, pending further advances in human science.
