There are a number of games made for the Spring Engine. Some of the more popular ones are listed below, sorted by their terms of use.

You can download games automatically, using your lobby (see Read Me First). Some games also offer a stand-alone installer.

Open Source

These games are all free to download and play and may be open to modifications, however, be sure to read the licenses before doing so.

Proprietary

These games may or may not be free to play. Modifying their content (i.e. the art assets) is not allowed without the game authors explicit permission, although the code is GPL and some games include large GPL-friendly content collections.

TA-derived

At least parts of these games are derived from data of the Total Annihilation game (copyright Atari). As such, their distribution is potentially in breach of copyright laws and therefore not officially endorsed by the Spring RTS team.

Balanced Annihilation Balanced Annihilation (BA) is a mature game and new versions feature only minor balance tweaks. BA gameplay develops in stages of progressively heavier units with a growing economy. Many strategies are viable in BA, including focusing on map control, aggression, defense, air power, sea power, or mobility. (youtube, subforum) NOTA Not Original Total Annihilation is a rethink of the Total Annihilation universe with a focus on strategic, base oriented gameplay. With its revised unit scale, huge battles erupt engaging hundreds of units and scores of unit types. NOTA's completely rethought air and sea gameplay forces participation in all elements and places the tide of conflict in your hands. (This game is available via its own lobby.) TA Prime Highly polished prequel to Total Annihilation, with a full-blown tech tree, unit abilities and a strong rock-paper-scissors countering system similar to C&C games. Tech Annihilation This Game is bigger, greater and more epic! Tech your Commander from a tiny Commander to a Galactic Commander! (currently no homepage) XTA Originally developed as a Total Annihilation game by the Swedish Yankspankers, XTA is the Original Public Game released with first versions of Spring. Development of this game by the SYs has stopped a while ago, but it is still played and actively developed by the community.

Installing Games in Spring

Quite a few of the games listed above come with standalone installers, which makes things easy. Check their website to find out! Otherwise a lobby such as SpringLobby will download everything for you when you join a game room.

Games can also be downloaded manually as .sdz/.sd7 files, for example BA750.sd7 or XTA.sdz, and placed into ...\My Documents\My Games\Spring\Games\ or ...\Spring\games\ folder (~/.spring/games/ on Linux/Unix/Mac). Read the advice on this page if your lobby does not find your games. You may install multiple games in the same engine installation. The same goes for Maps. Place them into a folder called maps in the same folder where the games folder is.
