Bringing back TA..

http://www.rakrent.com/rtsc/rtsc_totala.htm

That is an amazing site for all RTS stuff but got a very good section on TA including lots and lots of mods.

Think im going to have to dig it up when i get home

The greatest mod, TAUCP : http://www.planetannihilation.com/taucp/features.htm

Best new feature has to be the walls and gates, if you play with a defensive style.

I never tried any of the big mods for TA, just the orginal game patched up with all extra offical units and then later got hold of the CC and BT addons

I tired a few unit mods over the years, some were good, some just screwed up the enemy AI.  Will have to look into that one.

TA: Spring - Absolute Annihilation

I saw that awhile ago but never got round to try it... remaking TA in a new engine with rebalacing - got to give those people some credit!

May try this at the weekend

best thing used to be staggering dragons teeth a 1/4 square off the medium laser towers (green shooting uns) to stop splash damage then use a backup of missle launchers staggered behind em.

if i find a screen shot key in it, ill post some screenies, im in that mood  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

dont know who found this but http://taspring.clan-sy.com/

SpringTA - TA in 3d with a 3d engine, open source??? omfg like??  :mrgreen:

lol madmax.... look 3 posts up

well looked like a supreme screenie so i blanked it, dohhhh, spent loads of time last night playing that.

its got some quirks, bugsand what not but on the whole, fantabulous being able to run it in 3d with shiny polygons

I had a quick go at work while the boss was out of the office. It is great but need some work

Friends have spoken to me about it and I seem to recall it, but I was always a fan of C&C more than any other RTS out there. Earth 2140 had me for a while but yeah C&C is what I played.

How closely does TA resemble C&C?

In the sense of fast paced strategy, non stop action.  Nothing like generals mind.

If you liked C&C 1,  Red Alert 1 & 2, you will love TA.

ta was the ultimate rts.

well apart from the original c&c an red alert but this thing kicked arse with a big spikey boot with landmines on.

Sweet as!

I loved red alert. Its the only C&C Ive played. well with the add ons (counterstrike and aftermath).

I love it to bits, used to play massive maps with only 1 AI as well as me, and make perimeter fences and walls around the base. Made em all pretty Even made turret walls around ore fields to protect my gazillion ore trucks

Now thats the kinda game I like to play.

Empire at war disappointed me because it had unit limits. I couldnt do mad rushes.

Also...once the base shields were down (piss easy) 2 AT-ATs or just a single squad of rebel tanks could destroy the rest.
