Spring RTS Engine

Thor the original creator of BOTA has been busy with another project and has given me Responsibility for BOTA 1.4. This is a major update for BOTA as I have make quite a few changes as per suggestions from other experienced players. (The WarC, Forboding, [GEN]Fox, and a few others.)

On top of the list of major changes is the implementation of OTA style Friendly Fire and Fire Through Friendlies

Plus as per Forboding's suggestion, a speed increase to all mobile units. This has dramatically changed the gameplay in (i feel) a good way. As now units are fast enough to get within firing range of stationary defenses, and now finally have the chance to get a few shots off. (in version 1.3 units often died before they even saw the turrets. And would have to rely too heavily on artillery support for even small raids.)

I have also included an AAI config with the mod that needs to be placed in the AAI/cfg/mod/ folder.

The Changelog can be found HERE...


Please give me feedback on balance 'n such so i can evaluate if any changes to gameplay are needed.

[EDIT] I pressed SUBMIT by accident the first time :X [/EDIT]

Hehehe... That was pretty funny..

We shall see if this is deemed worthy.
Not that i have any doubts, 1.3 was killer, however i dont think you needed artillery support for small raids. I mean a un DT'd hlt died pretty fast to storms..

BotaFest2k6 was a success last night, I'll post whatever replays I have from teh BOTA games ^_^.

I'm at school right now though - when I come back home .

Botafest was awesome, the most ppl to play bota at the same time ever, and boy those were some awesome games. People got the hang of it very quickly, and it was a blast just to spectate.

BOTAFEST 2K6 Rounds 1-3 have been posted.

I tried posting round 4, but it seems to be too big of a replay for it to complete

Round 5 will be posted later.

If your going to post replays, atleast have them be good ones

Hey, ppl just want to know how bota plays, and these a good examples, they aren't all played by experts and it shows the rights and wrongs of how to play. For the most part, it's Mug u want to watch for the best ways to play. And i can't stress enough the importance of artillery in the late stage. Lugers rule the roost.
