This can be done either by using a special single player mode, or using the multiplayer mode with a password and adding bots to the game.

The lobbies for the game allow setting up single player games also. A pre-game lobby uses a specially designed protocol similar to that of Internet Relay Chat to facilitate chat, player match-making, and the adjustment of battle options. Multiplayer is supported on both Linux and Windows. Only user commands are sent to other players, preventing any active cheating. The Spring Engine uses a deterministic game simulation which is executed simultaneously on all game clients. Most Spring Engine-based games are designed to be played online, in multiplayer matches.

There are also a large number of skirmish artificial intelligences (AIs), allowing for offline play or extra players in an online game. There are also currently a number of single player missions, built on frameworks utilizing the engine's Lua scripting abilities. Most of the games running on the engine (as of December 2010) are focused on multiplayer gameplay. Since then, the project evolved from a mere TA clone to a general RTS game engine including more flexible features like built-in high-level extensibility through a Lua scripting interface. The first release was on July 7, 2007, achieving its initial goals. The project aimed originally to bring the gameplay experience of Total Annihilation into three dimensions and to have the game run the mods and third-party units from Total Annihilation. Since 2005 it is being developed by the community. The development was initiated by Stefan Johansson, Tomaz Kunaver, and Jelmer Cnossen, members of the Swedish Yankspankers game clan under the name TA Spring.
