Spring RTS Engine

is it possible to make a mod that is like Monopoly Tycoon but allows teams rather than just single player?

that might be very hard when using spring, as spring is purely RTS. But I think you could come very far with lua

Yes it is. I think this is a great engine for such things, because often a great application for spring is converting boring turn based games into exciting 3d realtime games. For example, realtime chess is a great success on the spring engine, to replace boring regular chess where you have to wait around for the other person to think. By eliminating the thinking from games, you increase the fun factor.

No, not really.

You increase the fun factor for some players by reducing the lag between their actions through removing the balancing delay of time between player actions. However, this decreases the fun factor for others, who depend upon that time to perform equivalently.

I think he meant to say 'waiting' instead of 'thinking'.

Even so, my correction stands.
