Total Annihillation Wikibook

Post by Dave »

Just in case you guys get tired of debating :D There's a Total Annihilation Wikibook at:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Total_Annihilation

It could use some work, and I know some here hold TA in high regard (myself included)

Here's a way to lure yet more folks to Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, and Macro-RTS in General (pun not intended)

I love total annihilation. Its 8 years old and still fresh as when I first bought it. Can't wait for its "spiritual sucessor," Supreme Commander. Cool Wiki.
I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. ~Marcus Cole, Babylon 5

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were and ask "why not?" ~John F Kennedy Jr, 1963

Not to sure how legal it is, but here has the TA sound track. They have a policy of no waraz there or any illegal stuff so it should be alright.

I am taking the saferoute regarding copyrighted stuff.

All TA fans might find this interesting... It's basically an open-source full - 3D remake of good ol' TA. (Link goes straight to the screenshot page, for your convenience 8))
There was a post about it here some time ago, but no one seemed to take any notice for some reason... Anyway, Spring Rules All.

That doesn't let you do the "fire at your feet" trick. ): How good can it be?

Go into 1st person shooter mode then :P

Also there is a much faster Spring mirror here

Be warned that Spring isn't merely a conversion into 3D. Several gameplay changes were made as well, which you may or may not like, but definetly changes the gameplay of TA.

The default 'XTA' setup in Spring is indeed crap. However, I'm pretty sure it ships with 'OTA' settings too now, so you get the original balance. Most of the XTA changes shit me to tears, so I just stick to the NATO/MOSPACT mod :)
