This is a pretty amazing free RTS engine with a massive amount of Games and Mods, as well as being (relatively) easy to create Games on, or so I've heard. There is a kinda small online ranked community and a heap of dedicated servers. You guys should come and play online. The AI is still not the best, so single player is more to test out unit combinations and strategies. Here: http://springrts.com/ Is the main site, which has become quite polished over the years, and has forums and stuff. Download the Spring Engine and Game Lobby Here: http://springrts.com/wiki/Download The Game Lobby is awesome 'cause it includes a downloader as well as server browsing and single player missions, so you can find a server, automatically download the Game and map, say hi nd start playing. The main game is Balanced Annihilation and Zero-K. Both games have simple economies and easy to pick up gameplay, but the game is still strategically interesting as players expand into fusion generation and wreckage reclamation in order to stay top dog. So, come and have some fun. TERRIBLE quality. Old video, but demonstrates quite well, except the glitches don't happen at all anymore. PS, before you tell me to go search for the old thread, I already found it. It is more than a year old and was a terrible thread.

NOTA is the best, in my opinion. It encourages huge battles, which is something lacking in other games. By the way, for anyone who might be on the fence and have played Total Annihilation or Supreme Commander, this is like the middle link between them. A bunch of swedes got together several years after Cavedog went under and decided to make a modern rendition of TA, which turned into the Spring project. I'm not sure if this still applies, but for at least the first builds (last time I tested was 0.50) Spring still loaded the old .ufo TA mods. Around version 0.7 was when Supreme Commander came into the picture, and around when Spring had the biggest following and community vivacity. Then the community began to fall apart because a few game makers for the Spring engine decided to make a paid game (can't really call them mods), and that's about when I stopped following the project.

Oh god this. I played this before Supreme Commander was out. Then when Supreme Commander came out, I disappeared off the face of the site. Still playing SC.
