Spring RTS Engine

Yeah that's a cool map!

I reckon make every feature 1.5x - 2.0x ota scale. Big buildings kick ass, and aesthetics are more important in mods with infantry.

Make sure you don't overpower metalmakers, it's better to have them way too crap than even a little bit too good... Anyway, how are we supposed to give balance suggestions when your little typo wrecked the whole game? :twisted: When you release the next version, my interest in this mod will come bac...

I agree reapers are crap! lol, you can't have a short ranged slow unit unless it's really tough for it's cost, which the reaper isn't! Also, mumbo's don't do enough damage, they are pretty useless too. Swarm control is so easy, that if they are not awsome at antiswarm they are useless. And moho's sh...

Can I contradict what has already been said and recommend against having it highly scales? It's a pain in the arse when the camera cannot stay still!

Probably because ARM is the default. It should be random by default.

Awsome manual, very informative, great job.

It's a good idea imo. Especially if it were a fantasy game. (I am still hanging out for a mod that has meteors instead of nukes!) Anyway, the flag should generate a ton of metal (like +10) and have units cost a lot of metal. That way you don't have to expand as fast at the beginning, so this means y...

What he needs is an energy shield, that is quite crappy in efficiency but virtually unlimited in power. So +200 energy doesn't benefit him much, but +3000 perhaps triples his life or something.

I hate the way you can look for wreckages to see if the enemy has died (or the explosion). This is in my opinion is far more important, because it hugely affects gameplay. It's better if your rely on your radar to see if a dot has dissappeared. Plus i'm sure it would be easier to fix. On another not...

"after you get to lvl2 - lvl1 units are just nothing. they can't help exept may be minelayers and fredoom fighters." That's a load of crap! Their roles changes, sometimes subtely other times drastically, but they never become obselete. "I dot realy like current situation with nukes an...

Well ingame it doesn't look as good as in those screenshots, guess I need shadows. Anyway, good job it plays well!

This isn't in the new map format is it? Out of curiosity.

Best damn looking map I've ever seen. With the next version, should be a Spring standard, that comes with the 40mb download. I haven't played it yet, though.

That's really clever!

The problem is that the d-gun rarely works. It was fine in old versions, but in the last few the commander insists on using his laser and rarely lets you d-gun! (FPS mode is useful for overcoming this though)

4. the commander has a dgun. it is there for a reason. he may not be strong but there isnt a unit that can survive the dgun. you can use him to take out enemies around your base in the early parts of the game. The commander has a d-gun, but often he just doesn't want to fire it. Therefore don't tru...

If you want to send me some unit descriptions/stats I'll have a go at naming units. No promises though.

I am not sure exactly how the new map format works so... surely tilesets can be shared between maps? So even if the map+the tileset is bigger, release another few similar maps and it will be far more efficient. I am not sure how it works but imo it should be like this. You have a maps folder a tile ...
