TA Spring 0.82.7.1

TA Spring is an open source project developing a new realtime strategy game.

Spring is a full 3D RTS game engine with good balanced content.

Games can be intense and the engine allows some diverse strategies.

At this moment the Spring engine is capable to run most (all) content that was available for the Total Annihilation engine.

Around 8 high profile mods have been made to run specificly on the Spring engine.

Spring is mainly a multi player game engine.

Some light AIs are available but they are not really challenging at this moment.

Spring runs on Windows and is stable. The Spring Linux ports runs alright but it can't connect to other Windows clients (yet) so Linux users are limited to single player.

The developers try to make Spring run natively on different platforms. (Windows, Linux, Mac and *BSD) And (try to) add features that modders request.
