A new war is brewing. A violent conflict, between the Six Colonies, each one convinced that it was in the right, each one sure of its own ability to defeat its enemies. But they need Generals. They need soldiers. They need you.

Can you please upload the gameplay/match videos to youtube ? I have slow bandwith and youtube is letting me watch it in 240 or 360p while modddb/desura has a fixed setting.

They are on youtube first, then I upload them here.
Why is it not available for Linux on Desura?
Because packaging for linux is extremely difficult. Linux' allergy to "Dependency Hell" makes packaging the engine + lobby + settings program very difficult. Moreover there is the fact Debian has somewhere around 50 different distributions doesn't help.
It is available for linux, but via different means. If you look in the Ubuntu Software Center you will find it.
what about the nice new service desura offers for installing dependencies via the desura client?
Even so it's still a bit of a nightmare due to the way the engine is set up. I have tried in vain to use cde and koshi tried using erlang to get a dep free build of the engine (and by dep free, I mean packing it all in the executable).
Here is my beef. All I care about is supporting ubuntu and ubuntu derivatives. Unfortunately, the engine devs do not see it that way and basically want to support everything debian (and other distros as well).
For example if the following distros were supported I'd be happy:
Ubuntu
Lubuntu
Kubuntu
Xubuntu
Linux Mint (my favorite)
The problem is, it isn't that easy, and tbh I'm kinda burnt out on it.
If you just want to support Ubuntu, than why can't you just use binaries from this ppa:
Launchpad.net
+ add your mod and maps?
Supporting only Ubuntu is not the right way to do it on GNU/Linux. You should at least support Debian, SUSE and Fedora.
But yes - setting up the Spring Engine and any game on GNU/Linux is PITA. That's why I only played Kernel Panic of all the spring games so far, cause it's in many distributions repositories.
I was hoping that Evolution RTS on Desura would help to change this and let me play one of the most promising Spring games, but... :-(

There has been no shortage of attempts.
