2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released

The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located here, however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!
