About

Spring is a project aiming to create a new and versatile RTS Engine. It features:

• Large battles limited only by the power of your computer; support for up to 10000 units and up to 250 players.
• Hundreds of large and highly detailed maps in which to wage those battles, fully 3D with deformable terrain, forest fires, dynamic and reflective bump mapped water, and custom skyboxes.
• Fully 3D combat in land, sea, and air, with realistic weapon trajectories (physics engine).
• Many different Games, made just for Spring.
• A full featured lobby client to easily play multiplayer games with hundreds of players just waiting for you at any time. Including automatic game and map downloading, chat, friends list etc
• A lot of third party widgets to improve the gui, the gameplay and the visual.
• Complex 3rd party AIs (Bots) that can work very competently in many cases with multiple Spring engine games and mods.
• A powerful GUI designed to minimize unnecessary micromanagement that is easily extensible via a Lua API.
• Frequent engine additions and bugfixes.
• Several camera modes, allowing for anything to be viewed from almost any angle.
