Spring RTS Engine

Remember when 5 flash was a deadly force?
When you could get away with just building gators all game and it worked?
When stumpy spam was generally considered to be a good strategy?
When raiders were a hard counter to both HLT and samsons?
When you could run circles around a golly with flash and weasels?
When you could do real feint maneuvers on CCR?

Refresh those skills.

Wait a second -- you can't do any of that anymore?

u can...

well, dunno how about 2nd, havent seen llama playing in a while.

im confused, lolthread >>

Bring back the simpler balance of Older BA version but this time actually remove the other useless/unfun/redundant units?

Its not about stats balancing, its about unit handling. When you issue a move order to a moving flash nowdays, it slows down while turning. Didnt use to be the case.

Devs fixed it in spring master like 9 months ago, but seems that lots of other problems have been holding the release back. So we've been playing with the sucky unit behavior so long people have forgotten how it used to be better.

... remember when you could win 1v1's with 20 fighters...

wait no you probably don't you all have join dates after 2006

But yeh I actually don't remember the pathing being better I guess it's been that long...

>>Refresh those skills.
Do you mean that these skills will be useful again? in next BA version?

offtopic: please revert napping of enemy units!

A lot of old spring funtimes comes down to this change. Anyone knows when can we expect a release?

Remember Command Engine?
(I don't. )

remember alzheimers

remember nano ranges being half your screen?

I remember...

it was 1997, i had 3 hours long game in OTA, map 2 contintets (big sea in middle, small contintets at both sides), LAN game vs friend. I won, was exausthed, but WHAT a GAME :)

Then it was 2006, game of XTA on CPIA. I had 60 krogs .. yet they barely killed opponent :D

TA was my all time favourite RTS in 1997 and is still now in 2011. Must be some kind of record

I used to go over to behs house and play ota v him there cause they had lan before us mortals. He would lie all the time about what he had then hammer me with fusion eco :D.

Ta when it came out most of the time I played on small maps because my pc was already 2 years old. When I got to college I had upgraded my rams so I could do bigger maps.

TA scaled really well and over time we were able to play larger and larger maps at lans.

I suspect that as long as spring still runs, we may have a future like that for all spring games.

I have the feeling it's even worse with engine 83.0. Flashes now stop to turn very very often. It's no longer the raid unit it used to be...

BAaaaw youre no longer the game i married..
