I have bought this and the other games in the series when they are in a special discount. Sometimes it is worth checking the Matrix Games/Slitherine store for these, they can be much cheaper there than normally.

Also non-existing playerbase if you want to play online instead of the crappy AI. Mods are not hosted in a website anymore and there is no game workshop but you can find a google drive upload with the mods.

for those who are in linux press control and play both in steam and in the launcher then disable video and music
Awesome
Updated old classic. Still plays well. A lot of content from individual battles to operations to full campaigns.
Loved this game since it was first released. Wish there was a multiplayer community though, miss the challenge of playing against a real person, much harder.
