Minimum

  • 1 GHz single core CPU with SSE
  • 512 MB of RAM

  • Roughly 200 MB of hard drive space, depending on how many maps and mods you download with the installer.

Recommended

  • 2 GHz single core CPU or better
  • 1 GB of RAM or more
  • 256 MB Geforce 6600 Series graphics card or greater
  • 2 GB of hard drive space to accommodate more maps and mods

For more information on system requirements see Requirements or for help see FAQ.

Features

  • Many different Games, made just for Spring.
  • Play online, on a LAN or offline Single Player.
  • Large battles limited only by the power of your computer; support for up to 5000 units.
  • Large, highly detailed maps in which to wage those battles, fully 3D with deformable terrain, forest fires, dynamic and reflective water, and custom skyboxes.
  • Several camera modes, allowing for anything to be viewed from almost any angle.
  • Fully 3D combat in land, sea, and air, with realistic weapon trajectories (physics engine).
  • Complex 3rd party AIs, some of which are quite good.
  • An extremely powerful UI, designed to minimize unnecessary micromanagement.
  • Frequent additions and bugfixes.

Development

  • Open source (GPLv2).
  • Multi-plattform (Windows & Linux, MacOSX in progress).
  • Written in C++, using OpenGL, OpenAL, FreeType2, DevIL, SDL, GLEW, boost, 7zip, Lua, streflop.
