Writers and others will come on board, but, unlike for software coders, FOSS is new to them. How many experts get to work on the next EA game? Very few. Experts and hobbyists of all sorts will love FOSS as well and will eventually help FOSS games be the best games. FOSS credits will improve the odds of grabbing a paying gig (eg, customizing the game to a business, eg, as a marketing gimmick or to make gamer/customers more easily do business with that given shop). >> Coders are available in abundance, but finding experienced artists, designers and writers willing to contribute to open-source projects can be difficult, especially when cash is tight.

There are others mods which are proprietary or which use parts of the original Total Annihilation models/textures. For those of you who want a more futuristic RTS on Linux, check out Spring RTS
