Spring RTS available via PPA
Spring is a free software real-time strategy game engine that’s available for Ubuntu via the Spring Team’s PPA.
From the Spring About page, it features:
- Large battles limited only by the power of your computer; support for up to 5000 units.
- Large, highly detailed maps in which to wage those battles, fully 3D with deformable terrain, forest fires, dynamic and reflective water, and custom skyboxes.
- Several camera modes, allowing for anything to be viewed from almost any angle.
- Fully 3D combat in land, sea, and air, with realistic weapon trajectories (physics engine).
- Many different Games, made just for Spring.
- Complex 3rd party AIs, some of which are quite good.
- An extremely powerful GUI, designed to minimize unnecessary micromanagement.
- Frequent additions and bugfixes.
There’s more on Spring’s website.

Why can’t they do it themselves?
