Spring RTS Engine

Hi, I used to play TA and TA:Spring a lot back in the day. After an extended leave of absence, I have returned. I still see a lot of people on, but I have a very hard time trying to find games. No, I am not Forboding_Angel. People always confused our names..... Do people still play? Are they not on ...

huh weird. It should either be that, or forbidin. Clan tags didn't exist when I made my account. Was there a rename function? I did remember that when going from forbidin -> [iSuck]forbidin I didn't lose my star...... But its been a long ass time. So check if "forbidin" is in the system. A...

Still no word on my account?

If not, I'll just start as a 1 stripe. I just hope I dont get banned for being a "smurf" lol. Well, it would be good to start from square one. I haven't played in over a year. :)

i think it was [iSuck]forbidin

Are old accounts (> 1 yr) deleted? I dont seem to have access to my old account anymore.

I finally killed my addiction of WoW and I am ready to come back. Esp if a bunch of old skoolers are still here and remember me....hehehe.

If you can increase you speed and expansion on normal maps, then speed metal is nothng more than unlimited res for your expansion and rushing needs.

EMP launchers will severly mess up any porcer. Stun their defenses, then have your way with them as if you were bubba in prison.

Hmm, I have to agree with the ota != spring. To me, an OTA game progresses faster than in spring. Here are my thoughts. When I first played spring, I hated it. I immediately went back on the zone to play some ota. Like I said before, ota's res system opted for more faster starts. +500 metal = +500 m...

If your going all defense, you will lose. Lasers ARE for faster units, ever see a guardian/punisher try to aim for fast small units? They dont work too well. Sometimes they can land close enuff and do some nice aoe and that works great. But chances are, the fast units will dodge the fire unless the ...

hell yea, its been way too long.

Been busy with a new job, WoW, and other things, and now in process of moving. Things are finally starting to slow down where I can play some TA again. Seeing some SC vids made me yearn to play TA.

I doubt I could own anyone, I'm just an old rust bucket :)

Damn, been a while since I been here. Sup all who remember. Turning 23 next month. All you young'ens who never played ota can't really appreciate spring to the fullest. Well, I guess you can, but ota teaches more about microing and expansion and speed that spring ever could. PS: I'll be coming back ...

Con veh's give .4 metal and 27 energy compared to .2 and 12 of a con kbot. I do like the HP increase for con veh's tho. Beamers are great against flashes. Hook like 3 in a triangle form within each other's range and u got a flash eating monster..........least...a long time ago they were. Their usefu...

The map is not tiny, its 16x16. The rocks are a nice touch and they don't give an uber amt of metal. Feel just like ota.

I do have to agree tho, the map is very very dark. I liked it when it was that nice bright green color.

The sides are already balanced....

Read like the last 20-30 pages....

lol, great thread :)

Is this Canel Crossing by any chance?

ua.tauniverse.com These guys made some custom music for their TA TC of the UT2k4 game. Maybe ask them. Its not bad stuff, but it isn't uber high quality as well. I'm an amateur at composing music. (4 year amateur lol) Anyway, wouldn't hurt to ask, unless someone here can make their own. Perhaps ther...

that was quite much because they could fire over each other while here in spring they cant that being my point... for those who i missed i meant that sammies/MT stopped everything in OTA so why make AA the same... Thats not entirely true. After a point, mt's and sam/slashers usefullness came to an ...

Beamers own flashes. DT stops flashes cold. So if you put some DT around ur stuff, problem solved. Pyros are a great counter to flashes. Flame vs EMG. Will be heavy losses on both sides. Lv 1 wise, yea, flashes are the best lv 1 unit hands down. Only way to really counter a mass flash attack is to c...

That cannot be changed due to the gators weapon. Gators do more damage per hit, but flashes do more damage over time. Flashes are arm's claim to fame. They are the best raid/rush/anti-rush/anti-swarm unit. They are also great for spoting and taking out ramboing units and positions. Gators can do the...

ack, I wish I known that earlier. Trying to finish a game like that is a pain in the butt :D
