==History==
 
XTA was a balance mod for [[TA]], developed by the [[SY]] clan.
Its latest TA version is 0.95.
 
For spring, it was the first mod available, the first that was ported and is what comes with the installation of the Spring engine ready to play.
 
[http://xta.wolfgame.org/ This] is the current XTA thread. From here you will be able to read on the latest plans of XTA here, dowload the Beta, read the change log, and contribute your own ideas on the mod itself. Dont like something about Xta ? Talk about, maybe have it changed! Vote systems taken from anyone who wants to vote directly influence the changes in XTA. 
 
XTA was maintained by people from the [[SY]] clan.

'''XTA is proud to be a total community run development program.'''
 
Development of this mod is now managed by various XTA enthusiasts, the balance is near the last version made by the SY's, with some changes, as well as new build pictures, higher quality models and outstanding effects.
 
Newer versions will continue to be released to incorporate more detailed visual effects/or models as the spring engine develops.
 
There is a new functional unit guide should you wish to consult for costs buildtree etc. To view the unit guide please follow this link: [http://p15111940.pureserver.info/xta_v8.1/ Unit Guide]
This has not yet been updated for the beta, please read the [http://xta.wolfgame.org/files/XTA9%20Beta.rtf change log] for more detail.
 
XTA Development discussion now takes place at the [http://xta.wolfgame.org/forum/index.php XTA forums].
 
==What makes XTA Special, Unique & Addictive?==
 
 
XTA has an authentic TA feel, with no turbo charged easy fix solutions; player must rely on forethought & tactics rather than mass spam against mass spam. Each unit has been carefully and slowly modified over many years with no drastic pruning to incorporate massive needless units. We believe XTA should keep to the bare roots of TA and yet open the experience to more diverse tactics! Each new unit added is excessively tested and is open for discussion by the ever growing XTA community. The main difference from the original TA (apart from the new engine)would be the tech tree and the strength of the Commanders. By opening the tech tree to higher levels early the SY clan has made the mod multi map type friendly in respects to pure metal maps etc. The choice to build higher level building and units is there, however an intelligent player will quickly learn when and how to build what and where very quickly. This also leaves the prospect of re-building your base quickly if you suffer a severe blow. Thus making XTA a more ever moving form of developing game play always keeping the players challenged.
 
Did i mention we have the best D_Gun FX ever?
