A holiday greeting and Total Annihilation nostalgia

Friday 25th December 2020 at 4:27 AM by Muzzleflash•3 comments (last comment by PlasmoidThunder)

Total Annihilation is a classic real time strategy game set in a futuristic galaxy. Players build a base, construct units and battle for supremacy across a variety of maps. Battle across the galaxy. Released amongst other classic RTS games like Red Alert and Command and Conquer in the mid 90's, Total Annihilation is something of a forgotten gem. This is a real-time-stratagy game, similiar to Command & Conquer, Starcraft, and Total Annihilation. This game is multiplayer only, with LAN support for up to 12 players. Old versions are in Java, new versions will be in C/Windows.

TAUniverse would like to extend the warmest holiday greetings to all who will read this message. We hope that your holidays will contain the same spirit of graciousness and good cheer regardless of the things that have happened around us, and hope for good tidings - and good gaming, in the New Year.
If you will allow a flashback and a question, I found this treasured momento while doing some spring cleaning recently, and want to share because I received it as a gift for Christmas of 1999. Do you have any treasured Total Annihilation momentos or holiday season gaming memories that you'd like to share? Feel free to comment on the forum.

The long-awaited new verbal joust between the self-described last Core Commander and Total Annihilation Replays mastermind Postal, with the undisputed first Arm Commander and strategy gaming kingpin, Chris Taylor, has been released!
The marathon interview clocks in at over two hours, tells the story of Total Annihilation and also goes in-depth on many of the hot-button issues that Total Annihilation has accumulated along its long history (game bugs and resulting strategies, intellectual property and modding, the gaming business and successor games, and much more), then finishes with a discussion of and update on Chris Taylor's newest venture, the cloud-based gaming platform Kanoogi!

Our friends over in the Supreme Commander: Total Annihilation project (or SCTA for short) have announced an upcoming, four round 2v2, double elimination-style tournament will be taking place with cash prizes and forum bonuses for the top 3 winning teams, that will begin in two weeks time on Saturday, October 17!

What is SCTA, you might ask? It's a mod for Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance that aims to faithfully recreate the Arm and Core factions from Total Annihilation, inside the Forged Alliance framework, and balance them against the other armies within the base game. In order to participate in this tournament, you must have a Steam copy of Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and have downloaded the Forged Alliance Forever gaming client, which is available on the Forged Alliance Forever website. Then, grab yourself a copy of mods entitled SCTAFix and SCTABalance from the Mod Vault located inside the client.

's 23rd birthday I do indeed have some newsbits to share!
First up is that our community play-by-play man Postal has shared another of his renowned Total Annihilation Replays reviews, and this one is pretty special. Straight from the secret archives of the legendary Gnug615 comes a match between himself and Gnug725 against TAG_Warlock and Aslan on that famous battleground map, Gods of War! This replay dates back over 20 years to April of 1999 - those primordial days where Cavedog still haunted the RTS gaming industry, and features tactics the likes of which you may have never seen before.

Thanks to a contribution by TA community member, SnakeInTheMirror, Total Annihilation has seen what may be the first attempt at using neural network AI technology to enhance and upscale some of the venerable and memorable CG video that came with the game. So, below is the introductory video from Total Annihilation for your viewing pleasure:
Upon clicking above, the enhanced video will play first, and then a split-screen is is employed so that you can compare with the original footage. The improvement is noteworthy, and it's definitely worth checking out if you haven't come across it already.

Today I have an interview to share with Wotan, co-founder and leading man of the runaway train known as Total Annihilation: Escalation. Without further ado..
What was your entry into the TA community? When did you first get the game and what were your initial thoughts about how it was constructed and its playability?

My brothers and I opened up one of the very first LAN gaming sites in the USA back in 1996, which we trademarked as the ‘Matrix’, before shutting it all down right before a certain movie came out years later… Anyway, we got heavily into real-time strategy gaming via Command & Conquer, that first year, when we started reading about this new ‘3D’ game in PC Magazine called To
