How many times have we got to say this- you can get CA stables on the regular filehosts now, and our stables are released once every 1-2 weeks.
Get with the program guys, this whining about constant updates and having to use the downloader is no longer valid.
If you want to play chicken of course, you need the test version- because Chicken is pretty new.

And this is what happens when chickens gets a bit too easy.

I WON :) Using chickens against chickens (started with drone chicken as commander), with handicap 100 (doubled resource production) against easy chickens.
Here is a photo of the epic queen X my chicken spam battle:
Also, queen chicken needs to take less time to be player-built, I wanted to make a queen X queen battle but the enemy didnt wanted to wait forever :)

You know... if we could fix the texture stretching and up the standard model quality Spring could look better than an MMO close up and maybe match Homeworld 2 or CNC 3 at play distance. Oh, yeah, bloom would help.

Actually its funny how you would say that, because one of my friends who is addicted to WoW just admitted that spring looked as good. Even tho he hates RTS.

That shouldn't happen in recent versions, unless your base is the whole map.

Eh, wow like other blizzard games make the most out of simple graphics, for low specs but still looking very good overall and also often achieving good visual clarity. You might be a blizzard hater or don't like MMO:s in general, but It's well worth looking at how they did things I think.

The bigger point is, its the most popular game, and so long as ppl see an open source project made by a whole bunch of RTS lovers in their spare time, as being "as good looking as WoW" then we will at least be able to hold ppls attention to our project for that much longer.
Half the reason most indy games don't make it very far is because the casual gamers look at them and say "its ugly, i don't wanna play an ugly game."
Spring is getting closer and closer to a nice polished look, and if WoW players start to notice, eventually the rest of the gaming community will too.
(P.S. I hate all MMOs, so don't take this as a "I LIEK WOW" post)
