Original Lasers, but as there is support, it'd be neat to see some units that used it.

Why don't they use free databases like sqlite3? I'm just wondering. They would be easier to modify and update. Also you could tumble all the data into one database(one file). What's the point in using a new file format, if you already have a (group of) much more popular one(s) that is better known ...

Favourite TA Unit

I'm not gonna poll this, as that would be silly. But anyway, here it is; What is your favourite TA unit (ANY TA unit! custom, etc.) and why is it your favourite? A sentence or two will suffice. ;) Mine has to be the Archnano (It appears in several different spellings... Archano, etc.) from the TLL r...

Could we have it, atleast as an option, so that area attacks such as bombers don't pick targets but simply pound the area at random points? This could probably work, and look pretty neat. It'd make a nice option, instead of "Attack Area (Units)" set to "Attack Area (Ground)" so ...

Re: Coop with 1 Army ?

Hi I've been following this project for a while now but just now registered to the forums. I don't know if I missed it or if it's possible or what but is there anyway to have two players control the same army? I ask this because of the ability to go first person and control the units and I think it...

See above. They're all used in basic TA, so TASpring uses them to make things easier. ;)

They're all pretty much unit storage. Glorified, specialised zip files, to put it bluntly. (But not that easily opened)

good ideas! lol. the teleporter thing i would say uses a little less than 100% as you may as well just build the constructionyard where the reciever is, and it'd just be pointless... lol maby 20%, (and it transmitts 1 unit every 5 seconds) so then if you had a 'secure' reciving end you could slowly...

How about a realy big fly wheel with a few Pewee's that run inside it like a hamster and they press buttons every time they take a step, and each button fire's out a shot from the cannon that is faceing forward as the time. So can only fire it when its moving. It would make for a bizzar sight, wand...

If it's possible, for K-Bots, have them break into their bits, collapse and darken. The entire mess would be treated as one wreck, but it'd look neat, as you could never tell which way the parts would land. Here's a list; K-Bots; break apart into base segments (arms, legs) defined by model, collapse...

Could work, but you'd have to make some kind of catch, ie; it takes a while for a unit to be transported. A really sneaky way of doing this would to; 1) Take all data from the unit at the sender 2) Save it 3) Dissassemble the unit at the sender for 100% cost 4) Send saved data to reciever 5) Recieve...

I can tell you why the idea is unfeasable; 1) This is an RTS, not an FPS. Robots do not have Adrenalin 2) It doesn't really fit the situation (see above) 3) It could be abused by idiots in order to ruin a game 4) In hectic battles, unless you're a micromanagement addict, it's practically useless (it...

Group AI acts as the squad leader, and a middle "man" between the units and the global AI. For example, a human controlled team is global. He/She can assign group AIs with formations to his/her squads to do some of the work for him/her. In the case of computer controlled teams, the global ...
