Expanding Fronts is a massive modification for Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds aimed to breathe life back into the classic LucasArts strategy game by adding various new units, features, and gameplay elements. Each of the 8 civilizations are being reworked and enhanced to make each feel more unique and authentic to the universe, while maintaining the classic Battlegrounds gameplay. In addition, the Scenario Editor is being filled with hundreds of new units, buildings, effects, triggers, and objects to allow campaign and scenario designers more freedom than ever before.

New Maps!
Jomark
Starting from a small tropical island, players must quickly expand their foothold across a vast archipelago.
Myrkr
A densely forested coastal landmass.
Ukio
The landscape of this lush agriworld is dotted with numerous pre-existing farmlands.
Vjun
An acidic wasteland roamed by ferocious predators.
Wistril
Players occupy a forested landmass bordered by water on both sides. Those who can clear the dense wood line will gain access to a bounty of mineral riches on the bordering islands.
Sulon
A network of narrow waterways separate players, who start the map with a handful of pre-constructed Farms.
Taanab
A terraced landmass rich with vegetation and wildlife. Thin rivers with multiple crossing points create natural choke-points.
Tangrene
A craggy, mountainous world, almost completely devoid of surface vegetation and water. A network of thin, shallow riverbeds serve as a gathering point for fauna.
Pantolomin
A scenic oceanic world known for its intricate coral reefs. Large continents separate teams, who must fight for control of multiple small, resource-filled islets.
Praesitilyn
Teams are separated by a vast river that contains tiny, mineral-rich islets.
Sarka
The suffocating vastness of Sarka's jungles and cliff networks make expensive construction a challenge, but provide plenty of natural choke-points for ambushes and fortification. A larger than normal amount of Nova Crystal deposits can be found throughout the map.
Space Raiders
Starting from a tiny central asteroid with no Command Center, players must immediately scramble to find a suitable base location amongst the surrounding rocks.
Tatooine
A new version of Tatooine, complete with a central city area that has a capturable Hutt Palace, Tatooine Market, and Tatooine Docking Bay. Every player gets a Jawa camp that can train Jawa units. Watch out for Krayt Dragons and Sarlacc pits!
Swamps of Naboo
Start on a sandbar surrounded by swamps and mangrove jungle. There's a large water mass in the center with lots of fish. Players can build structures over wetlands, and shipyards can be built at small water holes. (Warning: AI players don't know how to build on swamp terrain)

Thank you for the work you're doing. Remember, the Force will be with you... always. And I will be with you... always... Of course, when you get older and get some crow's feet, I might lose interest.

Is it possible to change language?
We only offer this mod in English language for now.
Love this mod but I am encountering a small issue, the unit control menu does not appear (like the buttons that change army formation) for some reason, any idea as to what could be causing this?
You might need to click the + button on the right to show these
¿How do I fix the colors? Looks like I'm in drugs
Please see 'EFREADME.pdf' for troubleshooting issues. Color issues happen when you use full screen mode. Use windowed mode instead using the configurator tool.
