So, i download the Spring enegine and the TA game, both ~15 MB each?
I loved TA but the CD was lost in the mists of time and this seems close enough :)

You don't download TA game, you download the BA mod for Spring. The TA game doesn't work with Spring...

So...what does the tracer do? Does it detect cloaked units?


What does detect cloaked units anyway?


"Edit" So, how does one connect to the spring lobby? I updated it....but it doesnt like connecting.

"Edit 2" What deflects regular missiles?

It's possible to play singleplayer to get the hang of it. When you launch spring (make sure the BA mod is in the mod folder for spring) click 'start lobby' (or start the lobby.exe thing)

Then click singleplayer, enable the mods, make sure you have a map available, then you can add AI and such. It's kinda confusing at first....

I probably am out-of-action today as I need to get caught up with work and the whole Father's Day thing. Need to play some more matches with Umi though for hilarity.

Arg this is frustrating. No mater what I try, I can only do something usefull if I'm fighting someone who doesn't have a clue (no offence ment). Everything else just has me fall short. You guys can't give me some pointers or something?

"Double post since no one else posted  :o"


I have a few questions that no one will answer. :P

1. Is there a counter to missiles, like a machine gun base defence that shoots them down? Or do you have to march out and blow them up?

2. Is there some kind of emp shielding you can use?

3. Well, I forgot the rest, or I answered them myself.

I.. am not entire sure, but I got a vehicle that claimed to be missile defense, but I dunno if it was against nukes or not.

How Nilocy plays:

I usually rush; build order goes like this: 1 metal extractor, 1 solar panal, 1 metal extractor, 1 vehicle plant/navy plant (depending on the map focus).

From the vehicle plant I build either 10 flashes or 10 instigators, or a submarine from a navy plant.

The rest of the build order for land goes like this:

Commander builds 1 solar collector for every metal extractor placed down, any forward bases are defended by 2 LLTs and a radar tower. Meanwhile you should have between 6 to 9 MEs, (that shoud equate to about 12+ metal, your vechplant should still be producing vechs, they'll take off about 5 mass).

When you have about 8 tanks send them into the enemies base, be sure to harrass their production constantly.
Priority for attacking should be:
Commander>tanks>vechplants>econ buildings.

And thats how i start my games.
