Spring RTS Engine

It seems that the latest version bundle does not include the flooded desert map that is supposed to be one of the "stock" TA Spring maps, according to fileuniverse. I tried searching for it on fileuniverse and the download has been disabled, and I did a (quick) google on it and found nothing. Anyone know where I can get it from?

Hm strange.

It is in the linux data tarball of version 0.70b2...

Flooded Desert was very rarely (if ever) played. This was probably done to keep from using needless bandwidth. I do remember playing my first multiplayer game on Flooded Desert, though, it's a pretty map, even if it does not play well.

...shut up.

Srsly, that map is great! It is a litthe weird, but it's pretty fucking sweet. It got a good choke point, water can bombard land, pretty good metal, Defendbole geo for qwicker middle game...

The only problem is that the only land bridge is low in water, and a small crawling bomb can esaly blow it up and make land unexxcesbole. Offcourse, you could use the "repair terrian", witch really makes it into a destoyebol bridge of some kind.

Another problem is that hovers have a small problem getting up on the beaches, but more then 1 water map has this problem.

kixxe is mean >: (

I'm not arguing that the map is great or not, but the thing is (as far as I can tell) that it is unbalanced as far as resources go. It's been a while since I last played it, but IIRC, the left side has a lot more land space, a ton of it is farther inland (and away from naval bombardment) than on the right side, and it has more metal too. I like the map, and if there was a remake using that style I'd download it for sure, but the map is not fair I dont' think.

what he said
had some great games on it but i realised there were uneven land masses. i did enjoy owning people later on however on the smaller half but then gave up on the map entirely, gimme comet! :D

Thats more like it

I thougt you where bashing the playabilty of the map in generall when you said "t's a pretty map, even if it does not play well.". It's looks very pretty, but the gameplay sucks.

i just wanted to get a copy of the map so i could watch a replay that someone posted. Also, it says in the downloads that it includes three maps. I'm not too worried about it, I just wanted to have a look at the replay... im sure there are plenty of other great maps available out there.

You can thank mother for the upload and the storm for the hosting at FU.

Download Spring stock maps form FU (included flooded desert), and flooded has a great metalmap (depsite being a metal fest, the layout is my favorite).

edit: oh!, just realized it was disabled, maybe if you ask for it to be re-enabled ? puh.

Speaking of the devil... thats the map that was screwing up the port of unitsync.dll. Well, with it gone its less work for me.
