That's true. But you'd need a much bigger map I thinkk as well. Planets galaxies and star systems so think of it on that scale.

Well, it sounds like unit creation is in already, so having spaceships of various sorts would be easy enough, as would renaming areas of the map as galaxies etc. The only additional thing you'd need is the ability to tinker with the naming of basic elements, ---- for instance planets instead of cities, and gas clouds instead of water (ie, areas where only special units could cross), pluss of course the ability to completely switch to an sfx set without getting rid of the original (though i assume David may include this in the new version anyway sinse presumably different units will have different attack and death sounds). It will all depend upon how customizable david makes things. Beware the Grue!
