Install maps
For installing maps, look at the Readme first page.
Choosing a Map
Technically, all Spring games work with any Spring map. In practice, some maps are unplayable with certain games. For example a game where you mine resources from the ground will only work on maps where these resources are present. A game based around land combat will not be very fun on a water map.
This is why some map makers started adding prefixes to the map names, to signal what games work well with their map.
Generally it is best to have a look at the games webpage if a map pack is offered or even already included in the download.
Conflict Terra
map names prefixed with CT
