Total Annihilation is the single greatest RTS of all time. It's got such a great variety of unit, you can have a huge variety of strategies that you can come up with. It blows StarCraft out of the water.

Yea, you heard me. Bring it, you StarCraft bitches!

TA so killed Red Alert...I still have it loaded...love playing Core and get about 10 or so Intimatators going...

Me and buddy when we play turn off the nukes and really big stuff just to make the games last longer...

Of course the funniest thing is when I took my system to a friend of a friends house and he was ranting about being such a kick ass TA player...I told him I bet I can kill you in about 10 mins... Made a Valkyre and picked up his commander and flew of one of his little laser towers...BLOOOOM! He was not running his head anymore... Of course the next game flash tank rushed him...he suddenly was sick and asked us to leave.

Well thank you...thank you very much.

I only did it since he thought he wrote the game or something...not my fault he sucked.

At first I thought this thread was about the RTS game Total Annihilation Kingdoms. Based on all the praise for this game I can assume I'm mistaken . . .

TA is good, although it tends to focus on artillery a lot. I've often had multiplayer games consist of 2 hours of 'try and keep scout alive to get off one round from each of your 30 fat cannons. I like it much better than games that encourage mass tankrushes though.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Total annihilation was a great game... Me and lal still play it and preach it. Tactics solve artillery troubles... Strategic Bombers... Yech, he had his commander and about 20 flakkers circled around the commander, yet, my bombers still maged to take him out... The moral of the story? ... There is no moral.

correct. TA: Kingdoms was the 2nd game. The first game was a futuristic one instead of medieval.

And the first one completely fucking owns all while the second one was horse shit.

Toktuk and myself are the resident TA supporters, I believe.

Kingdoms was not as good...maybe because at the time it choked down my itty bitty PII 400 with the Rage 128 card I had...

Some of the hack units got REALLY goofy...like the super duper construction units that made 3000 energy and 50 metal and nanolathed 10 times faster than the commander did...build krogath in like 30 secs...

Gotta give credit where credit is due. TA is the ONLY RTS game I enjoy and actually consider playing from time to time.. and I suck at RTS games too.

That and I worked for the parent company that distributed the game
