Spring

What is Spring?

Spring Engine is a rts engine for many different types of strategy games/mods.
The first goal was to create a engine for a 3D replacement of the Total Annihilation Game.
After some years of development the goal turned.
Now (2007) the goal is to provide a rts game engine for large scaled battles in 3D.

Features:

1. Large battles limited only by the power of your computer; support for up to 5000 units.
   
2. Large, highly detailed maps in which to wage those battles, fully 3D with deformable terrain, forest fires, dynamic and reflective water, and custom sky boxes.
   
3. Several camera modes, allowing for anything to be viewed from almost any angle.
   
4. Fully 3D combat in land, sea, and air, with realistic weapon trajectories.
   
5. Many different mods, some of them originally from Total Annihilation, and some made just for Spring.
   
6. Compatible with unit files from Total Annihilation, allowing 3rd party units to easily be moved into Spring.
   
7. Complex 3rd party AIs, some of which are quite good.
   
8. An extremely powerful GUI, designed to minimize unnecessary micromanagement.
   
9. Multiplayer support for 16 players
