yeah i still play total annihilation online but only the original version of the game if you want to know how to get the game and play it online look at my video i made that shows you step by step. I mean the one released in 1997 and believe it or not people still play it online but only 100 or so. which surprises me because its got to be one of the best rts games on pc in that gen
@thebrain678 It's a great game but little time was given to multilayer balance. Some aspects of it are just broken. Like the superiority of a Moho-fab economy over going out and taking mass spots. The fact that some units are overpowered like the 'flash tank' and many are useless.
It's fun and sandboxy that every unit can take a shot at another but it does mean the game boils down to Hawk production after a time. I could go on and on....
Supcom with Forged alliance matches and betters TA.
i just got finished playing this game for like 6 hours straight CANT GET ENOUGH,
although i wish they'd make an updated version, with original graphics (cuz they're AWESOME) and just update some of the stuff... better AI, more options with stuff, AI that will ACTUALY BUILD on water levels and such... it'd be awesome
Hey, im having some issues with spring downloader. I don't know who to ask and its getting frustrating. Im not very good with computers, which could add to the problem. I have springlobby downloaded and installed but how do I download the mods? I cant seem to figure out how to get any of the 4 Total annihilation mods.
So how many TA / TA derived games are there? Been watching these videos for days...And where the heck can I get the first old fashioned one? I want to start, from the bottom up with this series, and play straight through. It looks... Well it seems Amazing! I just don't even know where to begin...
The original TA can be bought in places like ebay and I've even heard rumors going around that it might be coming to select stores for it's 15th birthday.
The only true sequel to TA is Supreme Commander. This video shows an open source game called TAspring. TA Spring is a versatile 3D engine with hundreds of mods, including 3D simulations of the original TA game. The game has a 1 player mode, but is designed mostly as an online multi-player game.
eh its a free download engine so technachly there would be some real messed up political bs if someone sold it for money so...free. it costs 0.00 dollers
its just for spring, and so you dont actually need ota, possibly for some mods since i noticed that some in the error report said "failed to load ota files" but that could be since ota is simply in the core scripting of spring
I've downloaded it...but it seems to have fairly bad graphics. The other mods that adds onto Spring (ie. Balanced Annihilation, Star Wars, etc) doesn't improve the graphics.
There are boats, the version of Spring in this vid is over a year old. Follow the link in the comments to get the latest version from the Spring website.
I kind of like the sup com interface over TA spring. But sup com just has too few units. Knda lame to make 3 races, that all do the same thing, at the expense of more units.
They are. They're completely different. Originally, Spring was designed to run content from the game Total Annihilation, but it's developed into something far beyond that now. There are any number of mods from Star Wars, to Final Frontier, Expand and Exterminate,Kernel Panic and Nanoblobs.
Spring owns. I've played them both and I'm a die hard TA fan. Spring was never intended to play like TA, and its a completely different game. Games - in fact. So many mods. And tbh, check out some of the other vids out there for Spring. The guy who was running this on his computer picked a crappy looking map, had his settings turned right down. It doesnt do it justice imo. Look at some of the more up to date stuff.
I like the explosions and when units explode, the parts flying around, but the graphics are'nt so good.
If you write a comment like an respons to this, please do an reply, beacouse i will never check this again, then you will end up just wasting your time :P
JESUS CHIRST I"LLTELL YOU WHERETO GET IT. GET THE GAME THEN GOOGLE TA SPRING. IT"S A 3rd PARTY MOD. FOR FREE. ONCE YOU GET IT, GET MAPS FOR IT. AND A AI. IF YOU CAN PLAY TOTAL ANNHILATION WITHOUT LAG THEN YOU CAN PLAY THIS WITHOUT LAG TOO.
I played TA for years and was looking forward to Supreme Commander but just stumbled on this. I never knew there was an inbetween TA and SC. I love this version. Can you buy it in the stores? I have a new laptop which should run it. 256mb dedicated graphics should easy do it
If I install it, will it make "The Core Contigency" units 3D too?
