50 mission campaign - some of which are annoyingly hard! and Managed to get a few LAN games with friends ok -One nice thing is you can save and resume games online. Still a fairly active community for this series and plenty of additional maps/campaigns available online.
Hint: Always attack the enemies granaries, and if you play online. Ninja's are by far the best unit :P
