It doesn't take that long to download 100 maps that is ZIP.  100 maps
zipped will probably go no more than 2mb, which should take about ~10mins
if you have 28.8+ modem.

the add-on is listed as ~$24 retail.
don't shot me down with the numbers, they are just approx.

: Ed

I think everyone agrees that Westwood did not do much of play testing
before shipping the product.  The scrolling of the "construction"
buttons gets really annoying only after 10 mins of play.  The tech on each side
are definitly unbalanced.  Many of the units are useless.  (talking about
multiplayer battles here)

but hey, who said life is fair and perfect?

I don't regret buying the game, but also wished I hadn't brought it the
moment it was out in the store.  I had my fun with it, but now its just
sitting there collecting dust....  like a monopoly board game, only play it
when you are in the mood...
