Total Annihilation: Commander Pack

TA might be 24 years old at the time of writing this, but it's gameplay, incredible 3D engine, and graphics still stands up today. From competitive online gameplay, to enjoying the single player campaign, this game has something for everyone! I've been playing TA offline since 01' and online since 05'. It has provided me with years of fun and epic battles! Some lasting more than 3 hours per game! There is still an active online community, and a dedicated discord (TA universe) for finding players, discussion, and everything TA! https://discord.gg/xuK7cWXt Nowadays, Most people are playing modded versions of the original game. The main ones being ProTA, Escalation, Mayhem, Zero, and kingdoms. I, Personally play the relatively new, ProTA mod. A mod made by TAG_Venom, a long time TA Pro, and play tested by a string of long time, expert TA players. It's goal is to stay true to the original game, making balance and unit tweaks, to make all units useful and playable. DL here https://www.tauniverse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46564 ESC is a well made mod, if you want the bigger units and explosions, but is far different to the original game. There are 2 main places to play TA nowadays. TA FOREVER https://www.taforever.com/ The new server on the block, TAF is seen as the future platform to play TA. It is purpose built, with some incredible features, which is constantly being improved. https://www.taforever.com/ You can also play on Gameranger. http://www.gameranger.com/ You won't regret buying TA. An all time classic!

Every once in a while , GOG will surprise me with a new release that is worth my while. Tonight, when I made a weekend visit to see the sales and promos, low and behold, TA is staring me in the face. I about shat my shorts! Of all the games I have wished I could play again, this was never one I thought would happen. I spent HOURS any given weekend playing this game. My wife stil remembers me glued to the screen of my AST P166 clunker drooling over this game. Every glowing, almost orgasmic review you have read here abotut TA is absolutely true. There have been other great rts games but NONE have EVER come close to the granduer of this gem. So buy it already. It will be the best $5.99 you have ever spent here.

This game is amazing! *Large scale battles (500 unit limit). *Unit variety: Tanks, Mechs, Ships, Submarines, Fighters & Bombers, transport units (to move ground units), and a wide are of base defenses (some examples include missile towers, long range canons, AA towers, Laser turrets and more). *Balance: There are nuke launchers and anti-nuke launchers. Bombers and anti-air fighters, ships and submarines. But there is still fun weapons like the very long range, massively strong, VERY expensive, slow to build......Big Bertha Cannon!!! You don't want to be on the business of this bad boy. So build some bombers!!!! *Simple Resource Management: There are just 2 resources. Metal also called "mass", and energy. That's it! (It is always exiting to build a nuclear power plant - to support things like laser weapon equipped units - and watch your energy level sky rocket). *2 Unique Sides: Arm and Core. These two sides are balanced but are very different in appearance. *Variety of Battles Fields!!!! From the surface of Mars spotted with lava lakes, to the moon, islands, forests, and seas of oil covers with solid metal islands. *Music: The music is wonderful and intense and compliments the game perfectly!!! Last and best: MODS! MODS! MODS! I strong community has supported Total Annihilation since it's release in 1998 (or there about). Hundreds of unique and amazing units are available (tanks with gatling cannons, bomber with shields, aircraft carries, mechs! mechs! mechs!, fusion power plants that power weapons of mass destruction, flying battleships that have aircraft repair pads, and even F-22 fighters) to add to the game , maps of every type, total conversions, the list is very long. If you haven't played this games AND are an RTS fan.....DOWN LOAD THIS KNOW!!! The price is a steal!!! You will get hooked....you've been warned.

Nothing compares even today with the thrill of up to 10 players battling it out in this game. There are dozens of strategic tools and a counter to each of them with dozens of land, sea and air units of all types. A range of sizes of tanks/mechs and an array of long range units from fast launching missile units, artillery, mobile anti-air, etc. What takes the cake and makes this epic is the sheer destruction of some of these structures and units. Extremely long rage big bertha cannons that'll drain your power quick and nukes that destroy an entire screen of all structures that make C&C nukes look like grenades. Add the fact that units can be queued up and given orders automatically you're in for some extremely crazy battles especially if you play on a resource rich metal map.

When I was 11 my friends and I were looking for a good game to play at a LAN party. One of my friends, James, brought this scratch disk of something called Total Annihilation for us to try out. We played from 7 pm to 4 am, our skirmishes and raids turning into massive pitched battles with hundreds and even thousands of units dying every minute. That night we all fell in love with what we still consider the best RTS to ever come out. 9 years later we still play Total Annihilation, albeit with massive unit packs and a few alterations of our own creation. IF you're looking for a game that even someones dinky laptop can run, and has a lot of life this is your game.
