Spring RTS Engine, formerly known as TA Spring, is a GPL
Real-Time Strategy Game developed by the Swedish Yankspankers, for Windows,
Linux, and Mac. The standard Spring installer includes the mod XTA, and 2 maps, Mars, and Small Divide. The GPL installer includes the mod Nanoblobs, instead of XTA. The easiest way to explain Spring is to define the Engine itself as a Console, and a Mod as a game the console can run. Most mods in Spring, including XTA require OTA content. OTA, TA, or Total Annihilation is an older RTS made by Cavedog Entertainment, it includes 2 sides, the Core, and the Arm over thousands years of War. A few Spring mods do not use OTA content, and thus, do not require you to own Total Annihilation to play. Examples are Kernel Panic, Nanoblobs, and Xect vs. Mynn. There are also some mods that fall between the cracks of the legal-illegal discussion, such as Expand and Exterminate, Gundam, Star Wars, Spring 1944, World Domination, and my mod, BloX.
