Spring RTS Engine

Depends if they're still doing that tiered factory stuff instead of having some other way to reach higher tech levels and whether each tech level has all of the factories.

As for playing smoother, calling it "just like TA" doesn't mean there were no improvements, especially since our memory tends to glorify the past.

AA has almost 400 for two teams

Dont forget the expansionpack, so they can get more money out of us

And drone, that number is OFF COURSE including buildings.

And about the zoom system, didn't spring copy it form the supcommovies....

The tab-zoom yes... the whole concept of the free-form 3D viewer, no, I don't think... because that was made before we had SupCom movies

But it just goes to prove that the "omgwtf Z00m of teh pwnz0rz!!!11" isn't really worth worshipping the ChrisT for.

You didn't used to be able to zoom infinately high in spring and when you zoomed in it wouldn't seek to the mouse point. However, those took all of 2 weeks to add in after we saw them done in the sup comm videos. They aren't a game changing feature IMO.

SwiftSpear said it better than me.

well it's the first commercial game which has it
