Spring RTS Engine

While I agree that it may be a better idea to advertise to people who haven't played Spring before I can't find myself thinking there's an equal footing TA and non-TA gamepacks are on and thus I don't think it's a fair competition. They are not on equal footing. That needs to change. Not because it...

This is a very interesting, and somewhat serious thread. And now I, a Spring XTA/BA player of 1 week, would like to stick my foot into the ring. I came to Spring because I want to play TA (actually because I want to play SupCon) but I can├â┬ó├óÔÇÜ┬¼├óÔÇ×┬ót for technical and market reasons (neither ...

nope, that map is like 20X20.. not really huge. The buildings were scale etc. Yes, those buildings are to scale and look good. But they are 4-5 stories tall. Here in China, you can find those types of buildings in poor areas and would be mainly residential . In Shanghai, newer residential buildings...

The pictures of that map are cool.

However, the map is huge, right? If the buildings were bigger, yet fewer, would it increase performance?

I like the idea of city maps because a) lots of destruction, and b) urban mechanized combat is cool.

XTA is slower paced with smaller groups of units. BA and AA is fast paced, has loads of extra units, cheap defences and hordes of units with fast buildtimes. => XTA is for old people ... if you are young and want to play quick come for a BA or AA :D I am an old guy, relatively speaking. I played TA...

For the diference beetween AA and BA its only the "energy cost" i think ... in AA u always need energy, in BA u can always play with energy down ... its really different from XTA : make defense is best in BA and AA and u have more units ...[/quote] Just to clarify... do you mean in BA and ...

Well... the thing is most in those forums probably would not know what TA Spring is. Or maybe I'm assuming to much

Someone just saw the light... Not sure I saw the light yet. But I will not bring up SupCon in order to avoid the raging fanbois. That sounds scarry. About the maps though... If the engine can incorporate and rendor unit buildings like factories, can it not also handle non-fucntioning buildings? All...

XTA is a cool game. Just started it after seeing it mentioned on a SupCom board. And it runs on my computer, which Supreme Coimmander does not (my computer is about two years old). It seems to have most of the same features...very large battles with kbots, vehicles, and flying things. And the comman...

I have read the guides about XTA. But I don├â┬ó├óÔÇÜ┬¼├óÔÇ×┬ót know anything about the lvl2 units from the available guides. I think it would be cool if there was a guide for this, as this is what comes with the game. The beginner guides are great. But when you get to techlvl2, there seem to be twic...

Man I was looking for this too. Thanks!

Hi I just started Spring. I played the SupCon demo on my parents computer and it rocked. But my computer is too old to play it well (even though I have 2.4ghz processor). So on their forum I read a post about Spring. Wow. Cool game and free too. I think I like it more than SupCon, even though UI int...
