The ability to mod can be a very powerful feature. I hope the modding function allows you to add new ground units, space units, heros and planets. Many people have posted they they want this or that or 80+ planets. If Petroglyph does the modding right, the basic structure is delivered with the game and the EAW community does the fleshing out. From a product development standpoint, it is easy to build the pipes that transfer all the data, but putting together the data can be time-consuming and tedious. My favorite RTS game was Total Annihilation because of it's variety and variability. Adding versitile modding can cause EAW to surpass my expectations. Galen
