Twenty three years later and Total Annihilation still resides on my hard drive. Sure...it's not the same computer, and I'm quite a bit older...but the magic which made TA such a great game is still there.
Long let it continue...
It is just a masterwork from any perspective.
I just want to add that there exists a remake created by a great team, for now it is still in the development stage and available for free. Try to search for "Beyond-All-Reason" you will be definitely satisfied.
By default Ctrl+[1-9] to create control group. Alt+[1-9] to select it. What I found is you can press Enter type +switchalt to just press 1-9 to select a group.

i have fond memories of countless hours spent with this glorious game. there are countless strategies for each of its 2 factions. this game had a great soundtrack great units and great memorable graphics. but the best part of the entire game have to be... the EXPLOSIONS!!!!! every time anything blows up the pieces from it fly away and those blow up too they even hurt things if only a little bit. i highly recommend this game to anyone and everyone. thank you
