I'm not sure if playing this version is worth the time investment to get the steam achievements when the GOG version is cheaper, better quality, more options, features more add-ons and campaigns, oh yeah and everyone

I enjoyed the old one better. Not saying there is anything wrong with this, but it's missing the same spark the original had. Everything looks so much busier you get overwhelmed pretty easily. Gameplay wise it's really

Frequent "unknown error occurred" crashes. You can expect to not finish many of the maps/campaigns that you start, which is a huge buzzkill after you sink hours into a scenario.
