Could be a possibility. But for an expansion. I want the existing maps and the existing campaigns to remain prety much the same. I was thinking about making and expansion ormaybe Astroseries 2 (kind of more of the same) and you could let your imagination fly whenever the project starts.

A few guidelines if making official Astroseries campaigns:

-The Imperial Union does not get destroyed.
-The Nagoran Empire does not get destroyed.

That way the story can be enlarged. Plus, for both Terran Union and Nagoran Empire, I have a special ending, but it will be over 50 years after the war shown in this Astroseries RTS. I have been working more on the Flash adventure game, possibly released sometime this weekend.

We migth improve the exising Astroseries RTS as well (with better sounds and graphics). Wathever sounds you make, send to me, suggest what it could be used for, and I'll update it (and give you the proper credits, of course).
You can send to the FTP server if it is on whenever u try to log on (sent the info to your e-mail). And if not, then send to my email as ussual. FTP does not have as many size restrictions, tho.
