Sci-Fi? Fantasy? Excellent RTS in your favorite flavor!

Real-Time Strategy fans, here's a yummy deal for you: Total Annihilation Series, that is the futuristic Total Annihilation: Commander Pack and fantasy-flavored Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (+ Expansion), is available up to 70% off today, on GOG.com. That's only $1.79 for each of the games if you get them both, or if you already have one and you complete your collection.

Time stood still. The fate of the realm was hanging by a thread. The armies stood in the field in absolute silence, as if every soul paused their breath, carefully eyeing the adversary force. Each and every soldier knew that they would leave this field today only in victory, or glorious death reserved for the brave. The beast of war feasted on deaths of thousands for years now, getting bigger, nastier, and more powerful with every fallen warrior. Now, it was ready to consume the best of the best, the ones that managed to survive all the strife so far. This was the climax of a conflict raging for years. A conflict, that wouldn't end any other way, than complete destruction of one of the sides. All was settled that day, and for some time the beast of war would slumber, satisfied and full. But as the decades pass, it would wake up again. And again. And again. The swords would be replaced with plasma cannons and tanks, but the beast would always wake up hungry. Always inspiring [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/gem_promo_total_annihilation_series_stacking_0212]Total Annihilation of nations.

Total Annihilation: Commander Pack and Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (+ Expansion) exemplify the very best of classic Real-Time Strategy gameplay. With dozens of missions available in the basic campaigns as well as the included expansions, these classics can present you with hundreds of hours of challenge and fun, in single and multi-player modes alike.

Excelent series and a must buy for RTS fan
--- Nice, you own all games from this promo.---

I hate mondays :-(
Total Annihilation is nice, but I like Starcraft better.

I've played TA: Kingdoms a bit in the past, but it seemed a bit odd to me. It was hard for me to grasp the different kinds of units, and what exactly their purpose was. I'll have to continue that at some point.
Even if you don't like RTS games, you should grab TA for its soundtrack.

Those classics you don't want miss that price.
What's awesome about TA (apart from the gameplay) is that it's widescreen native, which is awesome because having as big a map view as possible in an RTS is essential. And how many games from 1997 can you name that have widescreen resolutions natively without having to hack the game or use a fan-made patch? I'm sure it was added in as a patch, but that's amazing care by the developers.

EDIT: Also Blizzard are pure scum for not patching more resolutions into Starcraft, we're stuck with 640x480 in 2013. At least in RA2 I can edit the config file to set whatever resolution I want. Fuck you Blizzard.

Picked these up in the last promo. Playing TA currently. Hadn't played it previously. Loving it. Great RTS. Highly recommend it.
It was doing a google search for Total Annihilation that led me to GOG, and I'm thankful for that. In all honesty, if you don't have TA, now would be a good time as it definitely is a great game with cool music.
Does anyone know if this issue is fixed?

"By porting the soundtrack to MP3s, it broke in-game. It repeats tracks infinitely or does not immediately allow for turning the music off. "

Then again, raising the resolution of a 2D game means a larger viewable area (thus giving an advantage to people with higher-resolution screens, which I seem to remember they've stated they don't want), increasing the resolution of a 3D game just gives more detail to the rendered image (unless you also move the camera further back, but that is resolution independent).
Battle Tactics is significantly weaker but the original game and the Core Contingency are awesome! Not that Battle Tactics is bad per se, it's just a bit weird and pale into insignificance beside the other two.

Sadly, this is still an issue. Hopefully we can do something about it in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience!
