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.

How do I build capital ships? Also, the imperial infantry option is obscured by the tech level four button in the command center.

Capital ships cannot be constructed during normal gameplay. The ones currently in the game can be accessed in the Scenario Editor.

I see. What about the infantry specialization icon? I really love the units you created for them and I want to use them in skirmish. Also multiplayer LAN seems to not work.

OH MY GOD. For a little while I thought you guys died. YOU DELIVERED I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! I've been playing this game for about... 9 years, relatively consistently. I'm soooo happy that this exists and that I'm not the only person who plays the damn game!! Don't stop, keep going!

Mind if I ask this? Where is the music from the movies or series? The first game had a music score of about 32 minutes, but the second one, the Clone Campaigns, didn't have that. Now this also doesn't have any either. Do you guys think you can put any Star Wars music into your next update of the game, please?

Clone Campaigns does have its own music track. The audio is streamed directly from the game disc. We are working to try and find a way to remove this restriction, and have audio play from the game's installation directory.
