TA Spring   FREE!

Spring is a project to create the best RTS (engine) ever.

Spring is a full 3D RTS game engine, designed, in it's basis, to be able to run the content of the game Total Annihilation and deliver a similar, but improved, gaming experience.
Games can be intense and very large scaled, with fight of, literally, hundreds of unit and the mods allow very wide arrays of different strategies and tactics.

    Spring features:
  • Online battling service, allowing you to log into an online server and arrange matches with other people.
  • Top of the line managment features, like the ability to give queues of orders to units, as well as unassigning them, place rows of buildings, set factories to infinite orders, units to repeating orders (like transporters with permanent load/unload orders), as well as drawing on the maps in game and placement of markers with or without text.
  • Full 3D with shadows, reflective water, reflective units, deformable terrain, 4 diferent camera styles, ability to control First Person View your units and other grafical goodness. You will also be able to fight on land, on air, on water and under water.
  • Replays! The game has a built-in automatic replay recorder. You can, later, replay the game to see your mistakes or learn from other players. You can even choose to replay a replay you have to a group of friends or clan mates (without them having the replay).
  • Flexible options! You can choose to play alone in Free For All matches, allied with other people or, even, share the same army with other people to help you micro-manage the huge armies and bases. You can choose to have all the players from one alliance to be able to start only in a specific part of the map. There are, also, many other options to choose from before starting a game.
  • Mods and Maps! There are, at least, 7 high profile sets of units (mods) and more than 500 maps available. Many more are beeing worked on, including a new map format.
  • Modding! Many of the tools for creating units for the original Total Annihilation are usable for Spring. Also, there are new tools for map creation and unit creation as well as a few tools which are beeing worked on.
  • Skill! Some of the people who presently play Spring have been playing it's spiritual ancestor, Total Annihilation, for many years now. If you want the ultimate chalenge of skill, fight them.

For single player gaming, the game features the ability to use diferent Artificial Inteligences. It also brings the ability to play «random-enemies scripts» where enemies will spawn according to a script file.
