Is that the 3D mod I once saw?

Id just like to add that TA is one of the best RTS games ever made.

This is the Spring project (http://spring.clan-sy.com/) It's a remake of the old TA. As you say, one of the best RTS ever made!

I'll be honst, it doesn't look to good and I rather stick with the good ol 2D version.

Still, I just saw a couple of screens, maybe I should watch a video.

Technically it was 3d. Just no options on zooming down for a side view. Starcraft was 2d. TA was 3d.

I actually think it was the best RTS ever (and still is). All of blizzard's success I would attribute to the ability to make custom maps.

I had no idea about Spring. Sounds awesome. Have to try it. Thank you. Werd to your mother.

Are Spring games Multiplayer only?

I'm installing it atm and I appear to be installing some kind of AI plug ins.... so I assume that there is offline play.

I've only gotten to play that 'evolution RTS' and I was surprised how professionally it was done. AI programs didn't seem to work, though. Trying to find a download of Complete Annihilation but not having much luck.

Ill give it a try...after TA I can't deal with dated RTS's (starcraft 2 = dated).

By dated I mean units walk up to another unit, both units stop, both units shoot. Stats and dice rolls win. Its the EQ of RTS's

Its 2008...we have the technology. A unit should be able to move and shoot. If a projectile misses you dont get hit by it. If the projectile hits the guy next to you, you take spash damage.

Also I hate the rock paper scissors gameplay of starcraft/AoE. Spearman beats horse, horse beats archer, archer beats footman class/stat based BS
