			This page describes the gameplay of TA-based games on the Spring engine.
			The Spring engine can run a wide selection of [[Games]] and thus this text does not apply to every one of them.

	Keep in mind that Spring is still in beta, therefore crashes can occur (a lot) and we (well, not me!) haven't got everything fixed yet.		Keep in mind that Spring is still in beta, therefore crashes can occur (a lot) and we (well, not me!) haven't got everything fixed yet.

	Hovercrafts are a tank and a ~~plane~~ (some say ~~ship~~, but I find ~~planes~~ to be more accurate for some reason O.o) mixed. Sure itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s weaker than your average tank, and slower than your average ~~plane~~. Whats their use? They are meant for swampy maps that means that both tanks and ships are a weakness, and offcourse since none can't be used, everyone just spams out AA since they think aircrafts are the only way. Great suprise for the enemy when 50 hovercrafts comes in agsint their flakkers and MT...

	Long story short, Hovercrafts are good for those who like (or must) attack from the ground, but canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t since there is too much water.		Long story short, Hovercrafts are good for those who like (or must) attack from the ground, but canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t since there is too much water.

	When using ships, have scout ships or planes scout the area in front, then send in subs and sub killers. Use long range ships at the sides to protect anything of value you might have with you (a sea transport or an aircraft carrier). When in battle, try to have the subs run away from sub killers, while your sub killers kill the enemy subs. Your subs should try to attack the most important ship in the area, and then just go crazy.		When using ships, have scout ships or planes scout the area in front, then send in subs and sub killers.

	When facing land, ~~youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re~~ pretty much in for an easy win. Just have your ships blow it all up. If you face LRC, take them out first. The rest of it is out of your hands.

	Of course, one can also take advantage of altitude to increase fire range. A couple of Guardians on top of two high hills can easily devastate a small army.

	Terrain also helps shield your units against attacks. Therefore, when ~~youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re~~ building something high on top of a hill, try placing it a little behind the top. This is like crouching behind a crate where just your head and gun sticks up. But remember that terrain in Spring is deformable and can be leveled by impacts!

	Know the climbing ability of your units. Hovercrafts and vehicles have pretty low climbing ability. But if a foe thinks he has sealed up all exits, your K-bots can still climb the mountains where he hasn't put any Dragon Teeth		Know the climbing ability of your units.

	Another good thing about terrain is that it mentally makes you feel safe. If there is a water barrier between me and the enemy, with 3 land bridges here and there, I probably won't have much ground defence at a location AWAY from the bridges. Presuming the map is pretty flat (like "Flooded Desert") a hovercraft assault would do A LOT of damage, right?		Another good thing about terrain is that it mentally makes you feel safe.
