[QUOTE=sgman91;19029249]Why don't you just play online? Its tons of fun. Just get into a 10-16 player game and hope the other people on your team are good.[/QUOTE]

The reason I use AIs is so I can get into it first, I hardly know anything about the games as it is. I'd look like an idiot if I went into a match with hardly any experience.

I went into a match like that and everyone was really nice and helped me along. It shouldn't make a difference for you.

One of the best AI for any of the regular games such as BA, TA, NOTA, is Rai.

Slow at first and rapes until later like DireAvenger said, it also goes into overtime if you dare to launch a nuke and miss its main base. Then it just proceeds to send out waves and waves of units against you.

I once played a game with RAI and put up a radar near its base, and noticed a small 3x3 square of small buildings, but I just assumed they were windmills and kept playing. At the 12 minute mark, my troops kept getting raped by 300000 explosive bullets coming from those squares.

When I finally got it look, it built [b]NINE[/b] fucking vulcans.

[b]NINE FUCKING VULCANS[/b]

Instant game lose, because it had AA, Ground defence, water defence, and those vulcans.

Fuck.

Hey in further Releases will there be any changes to direct control like in the video are you direct controling that plane because all i can do is go into first person, third person would be great :D

When you do the initial installation of the Spring RTS installer, you can choose from two different Lobby clients:

a) TASClient
b) SpringLobby [default]

TasClient is much more stable and I think also _much_ more user-friendly than SpringLobby.

Sharkey's Machine

[Rooster Assassi]

Think this will run decently on a netbook?

[SharkeysMachine]

All Spring battles are recorded, and you can watch a replay of a game from via the Lobby client. Also some notable and recent Spring replays can be found at [url]http://replays.adune.nl/[/url]

In the meanwhile, here are some Spring Videos of some games, for your enjoyment:
