In the future, a group of human exiles have been doomed to battle to live on the edge of the galaxy. A Terran government has been able to attain peace because their strengths are through the military , through espionage, and through deceit. However as their resources and fuel run short, they, the Confederate nations, find themselves envying the rich worlds of their neighbors, the Protoss. To add to that, it seems that the mysterious Zergs have entered the Protoss' space and have been destroying everything in their path. Alas, IT IS TIME FOR WAR!
The goal of the game is obviously to win. To do this, you must take the role as the military leader of one of the three species you choose, be it the Zerg, Protoss or Terran. You will then have to conquer land, gaining all the rich resources on it, and then you will need to train and expand your military inorder to gain victory. It would be easy though, as you will have to conquer 30 different missions (10 for each species) before you control the entire galaxy.
Control any of three different species, each with unique units, technologies, attributes, and abilities
Multiplayer games for up to 8 players over IPX networks and Battle.net
Included Scenario and Map Editor allows players to edit units and create their own campaigns

And the requirements for this?
