You need to get a DLC that was free at GFWL a while back. Once that is installed, you go to particular area on the game map, and can start skirmish campaigns. I think you can set game speed there. The base game was almost like an MMORPG, with quests and advancements unlocking at a lethargic pace. The skirmish however was like a proper RTS game, with all units and advancements available during one session of a game. Check out that DLC. -- Noman
