Spring RTS Engine

Well, as you all know, since the TA: Spring development is under construction and almost finished, we need to get too preparing!

And since it will be using mostly XTA as the default game engine, what better way too prepare than too play some hardcore XTA (no too be confused with ex-ta-se, although it has happened)

So. That being said -

Where can I find a $%&*# game you #$$#%& pieces of *#@# and @#$#@ @#$ @#$ #$@#@ #$@#@# *&#@$!?!?!

No but seriously.

Are there any other people out there who want to play XTA with me? If so, where can I find you?

Thanks,
Wing

Im writing a list of the differences between XTA and OTA....

So far the main one i have actually seen (apart from the adjusted unit sizes) are that ships are actually useful

Unfortunately, one of the things I have always been a little resentful about towards the TA community is the fact that they are so reluctant too change.

You can hardly get anybody out there too play anything but the v3.1 patch. Need I even go into detail about why this is a dumb?

1) It has bugs galore. The pelican missile bug, EMG lag, Core necro, etc.

2) Half the units are unusable. Doesn't that bother anybody? I already made a list of many of them, and there are many more, if you want to check my list out, go here: http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewt ... sc&start=0

3) You could easily win the game with two units, construction vehicles and samsons. There has got too be something wrong here.

4) v3.1 is what killed the TA community. And don't say people left because TA is just getting old. There are thousands upon thousands of people still playing Starcraft (which came out before TA) online, but that's only because it is constantly being patched and balanced, and it's not all about taking advantage of the biggest bug too win.

Look, I'm not angry at, or trying too 'diss' people who play v3.1; I do too sometimes. I'm just saying I'm a little aggravated that the TA community doesn't keep a more open mind about modifications.

I'll play u. I've played it for a couple of months. I can tell you though that if you want to list all the changes of XTA compared to OTA you'll be busy for a couple of years. Almost everything changed.

1. No, StarCraft came out after TA.
2. StarCraft had a lot more publicity than TA has ever had, both in the press and because every RTS player was awaiting the new Blizzard game like the Messiah.
3. Cavedog died a couple of years after the release of TA Kingdoms, and Atari has never supported it since then AFAIK (apart from continuing to sell it). No wonder the game has not been updated since then. But at least, the community took it in charge.

lol .. really? I don't think so, never saw any good players winning with this strategy.
