No single player campaign?

There is no campaign mode.

every game I play is a campaign, it's a new story every game! seriously though most 4x games never really had that much of a linear storyline you are looking for, just the lore that goes with the universe to back whats happening in the game world.

lol I remember reading the history of the master of orion 3 races longer than playing the game, and it was more interesting, but master of orion 2 was more addicting.

I'm sure if you want a campaign though it might be moddable? don't quote me on that though im a sins nooblet.

Play a couple skirmishes and you'll see why there ain't a campaign.

I assume because a map can take several hours to finish? I can understand it but it is odd for a game to not have a campaign.

yes but if there was a campaign the game wouldn't be out now! so i'll take it as is as i never really play campaigns anyway, i just play skirmish and then once i learn i go to multiplayer, but i realize that a recent poll said somthing like 70% of gamers never take there game online and just play the campaign, so i don't totally disagree with your stance:P

I was a bit disappointed with the lack of a campaign, it would be nice to be able to expand and further explore the story.

Most games that have campaigns have no real skirmish mode but rather a skirmish mode with a handful of maps.

Sins forgoes the campaign to give users a pretty major single player experience.
