pure destruction, it's amazing how this game can be, i am fun of many strategy games but this one is deep in my heart and i always have it on my hard drive ready to lunch. TA FOR THE WIN!!!
The thing about this game - everyone comparing it to supreme commander - this was years before supreme commander. Like a decade before! This is the game Supreme Commander wanted to be the updated version of and what I instantly thought of when I first played Supreme Commander. TA is such an amazing game - where unlike most strategy games at the time, it literally was just STEAMROLLER! You had a huge variety of units; from air, land and sea - and you had to plan ahead with your resources on most maps. The campaign may not have been that great but the skirmishes and the multiplayer? That was where you learnt the real meaning of RTS! Brilliant game - even today, in my eyes.
+Alan Nugent i think supreme commander (FA specifically) managed to be a worthy successor right,it has everything that made TA special,the huge maps,the number and variety of units,the flux economy and army management!
The thing about SC and TA is they are developed by the same developer. TA was made by Cavedog which the design team desolved into Gaspowered Games. The developer behind TA made SC as the spiritual successor to the TA franchise. This is why the two games are similar, and why many compare the two. I personally would've liked to see more of the TA world and learn more of it's story, despite it having a lacking story to begin with, the idea of a several thousand year war over the boundries between transference of conciousness to a machine, or to live in the body you're born with could've really been expanded on if they want to. Though on the other hand, the lack of a story is notably one of the strengths of TA, the fact it's one team vs another, an all out automata war fighting for domination as it carves a war torn path through out the galaxy. All it had was a narrator, a premise, and nothing more than mission briefings. Simple enough to understand and engage with.
non of the RTS of our time have the same feeling as Total Annihilation. This game have it's own story, and every story end up as total annihilation. I love this game.
WOW, no amount of game can compare the feeling of awesomeness of this game until today there are no such game can do individual maneuver for jet fighter like that. not even supreme commander which look sluggish bullet projectile and SP2 they start to float and never land once complete i start playing this game in 1998 such awesome memory
That's a completely different game. I want a REMAKE. I have PA:Titans and I enjoy it, but that is not Total Annihilation. It has different units, for example. It only has 1 faction and it doesn't have a Hover Factory.
Yeah SupCom was so good that it got a shitty sequel which practically destroyed the series and then a successr spin off that tried to be more like Total Annhilation Are you saying SupCom is flawless? I assure you its not.
I like annihilators and heavy laser turrets backed up with berthas and guardians with a few rocket and several flak, makes it so hard to breach without the use of nukes and even then you have to coordinate an attack nigh perfectly with air and ground (and sea if available, because the battleships and cruisers make good sponges plus they can rain plasma everywhere) so you can take out the anti nukes just to bust through... Absolutely wonderful game. doomsday machines are also nice :)
The mass unit count, the variety in warfare type and firepower, the build flexibility and the resource system are awesome. So basicly every aspect of an RTS is what sets this game a part from other main titles like C&C. The absolute only thing I miss in this game is building garrison. but then again there're so many options with stationary guns. This game will always be legendary
That's the problem with Krogoth, as powerful as it is. If you have more than 1, then the explosion from one dying is likely to severely weaken the others, which will make that next one explode sooner. Rinse and repeat.
Magnífico, joguei pela primeira vez em 1997, com 12 anos. Hoje tenho 30 e ainda tenho saudades deste jogo. Tem uns anos que não jogo. Vida muito corrida.
Just gather original add-ons, remaster to 4k and full 3D but don't DON'T change anything - except maybe terrain size and unit limits and of course improved AI. Like WarCraft III, we need Total Anihillation REFORGED.
Nice sound reskins for nearly all your weapons such as rockets and lasers, which is just about the entire battle. Not sarcasm or insults since I don't use sarcasm. I really do like your sounds. Sometimes 20 Defenders are pretty to annoying to hear fire all at once.
core should use tactical advantage of hills and environment, also artillery units should be in the front line behind debris and long range missiles should be support
Best fukin game ever made. Don't want to sound old but they really do not make them like this anymore. WIsh the video had the epic original soundtrack tho.
Just watched it now, but I have to admit, it looks sexy. Hell, I am wondering how machines could handle so much ongoing on a win 95 pc? That's very impressive.
Pretty cool, World War I, attrition warfare stuff there. But what really stands out is the lack of battlefield deformation. There's barely any craters or debris or pockmarks. Even in Command & Conquer, if you set up a defensive position, you could tell that the enemy was pouring through a cratered wasteland. But after this battle, most of the grass looks freshly manicured and mowed.
Stefan Westermann Command & Conquer didn't have elevation either, but it at least applied graphical stickers of progressively deformed craters on its flat terrain.
L-1011 Widebody well i guess heightmaps would have been as much gig as the game is now because you might expect a blasted off higher elevation to give after some siege has been given to it. that would be probably unfair. plus there's the commander's Dgun. "hey kbots i found a new way around these 8 mile walls"
+L-1011 Widebody For a 1997 game, you ought ta give it some credit. Even games being made today don't think very much of terrain deformation. So far, only Battlefield 2-4 have the deformed terrains with the exception of much less epic battles. I'm uploading some gameplay on my channel of one round going 2:30:00 at most in two separate videos. the way the game works is entirely fine to me. the only thing I'd add right now is more units and better AI. Total Mayhem is a mod for the game that totally makes the game bigger in battles, maps, unit types, and higher-paced. You should check it out.
any 1 no how to get this to work on win7 64 ?. i got this game back when it was released but have not been able to play it for many years. it still rocks.
Zeds notdeadyet You can run the game with a Software called PalettestealerSuspender to avoid color problems, or you can use the method gamegod advised. Otherwise it runs smoothly on Win7 fortunately. :-)
We play many games per day. We have implemented many new units and new graphics. Join us on Tech Annihilation on Spring. It's free licence ! To play, install the SpringLobby. Then join us on Tech Annihilation mode ! Enjoy
how many years... it was so fun! I would like to see it again as a remake or TA:2 but they need to rework the anti-air airplanes planes... they are cancer against ground units and multiplayer games
I just got this game, I think it is good, I can only imagine how good it seemed on launch. But it just feels inferior to Supreme Commander. Mainly because of the lack of experimental tech.
+Gd Ward (Vengeance208) Not sure if you know, but this game was made by Chris Taylor (Guy who made Supreme Commander) back in 1997. The only experimental in Total Annihilation was tied to the story as the Core was making a come back with a new weapon, the Krogoth. You should try it out if you haven't yet, it's a fun unit. Plus, if you want more crazy units head over to TA Universe, there are hundreds of mods and crazy stuff there. This game has been modded for nearly 20 years, lol.

![[SS14] Destroying the World with the Killdozer I Guess](/img/tr.png)
This game's visuals were so far beyond their time! Look how good it still looks now
I believe that either Pentium 120 or 166MMX and 32 MB (MEGAbytes) of RAM allowed max details !
Dark Reign was better, pal.
Yeah, Total Annihilation is arguably the greatest RTS ever made. Certainly the most innovative.
@@piotrd.4850 I don't even think you could scale details :S
But I had a 133mhz and it ran like @$$ in large battles lol. 166 was the rec back then.
This deserves serious amounts of views. This game is too glorious.
thanks for your comment!
Game is still romping fun to this day.....
I love this game, still. Grew up playing it. I pay it I stream occasionally, too.
thinking of buying it yet again...i did not see the blue team getting defeated ...wow
Amazing, I was playing this game on Windows 95 when I was like 12 years old. It's one of my favourites, the game is fucking unique!
this is still one of the best games ever made. I still play it
This game is just the most epic RTS ever made
Seen better ones
7/10 Not enough Peewees and Flashes breaking your ear drums with the machine gun sound effect.
pure destruction, it's amazing how this game can be, i am fun of many strategy games but this one is deep in my heart and i always have it on my hard drive ready to lunch. TA FOR THE WIN!!!
Greatest RTS ever made. I do wish they would re-release it, with a polish is all, not a remake, just a polish.

After x years i just started playing this game and ohhh boy!! Still amazing
non of the RTS of our time have the same feeling as Total Annihilation. This game have it's own story, and every story end up as total annihilation. I love this game.
I've build a lot of stuff in TA, but man this frontline is just epic!
WOW, no amount of game can compare the feeling of awesomeness of this game
until today there are no such game can do individual maneuver for jet fighter like that. not even supreme commander which look sluggish bullet projectile and SP2 they start to float and never land once complete
i start playing this game in 1998 such awesome memory
I want a Total Annihilation REMAKE. Just organize the UI, modernize other elements and BAM.
Game is called Planetary Annihilation
That's a completely different game. I want a REMAKE. I have PA:Titans and I enjoy it, but that is not Total Annihilation. It has different units, for example. It only has 1 faction and it doesn't have a Hover Factory.
:P Yeah yeah.
+SilentNecrosis Except that's 1: a direct successor, and 2: shit.
@@1AMRamen thousands of reviews say different, also it's made by the same team as TA.
God damn, this is epic.
You should try and recreate this with the Escalation mod. Imagine the possibilities.
Urh, Total Annihilation needs an 'actual' sequel, and not just a successor spin-off
Are you saying SupCom is bad?
I assure you it's not.
Yeah SupCom was so good that it got a shitty sequel which practically destroyed the series and then a successr spin off that tried to be more like Total Annhilation
Are you saying SupCom is flawless?
I assure you its not.
Acidicstudios FA is :P
FAF is :) Forged Alliance Forever

awesome video, thank you, man. made me recall be being 10 years old.
funny thing, how those things might unite dudes from so distant places.

used to play this for hours
When even the Krogoth fails; Nuke it. Many, many times.
the krogoth charge at the end, destroyed by mutual detonation...we all know that pain haha
red team: *meticulously picks apart an unbalanced base with surgical precision* also, red team: *nukes the whole thing in the end anyway*
4:12 허리케인 융단폭격
6:11 호크 vs 크로고스
6:50 핵찜질
This was my first strategy game
I learned how to play this in the early 2000's before I learned how to read
Childhood well spend if you ask me.
The best part of TA was that ongoing fights would even grind wreckage into dust
2:15 that air support didn't stand a chance.
lore accurate battles at 1:46 perfect example of what goes through my head when i think of the battles near middle of the 4000 years
the set up on blue resembles some roman formation
as you can see infantry flowing through the gaps
That's the problem with Krogoth, as powerful as it is. If you have more than 1, then the explosion from one dying is likely to severely weaken the others, which will make that next one explode sooner. Rinse and repeat.
Epic, and a great summary of the whole game in a single level!

Rush vs Turtle, in the AoE vernacular. Most games have offensive & defensive but RTS adds economy for the 3rd strategy of Boom.
single best. ugh i remember my first game of it.
The Mod Scene for this game was sick!
I have only one cd left from this game.. still the greatest feeling of destruction of all rts.
The explosions in this game kick butt.
Ah, yes, when the wrecks function as barricades quite effectively. :)

BRUH
HOW IS THIS SO EPIC?
HOW DID YOU ZOOM OUT LIKE THIS THO?
Thx!
I did not zoom out, and it can't be. just played and recorded at 2560*1440 resolution.
so much explosions! just epic
Nice sound reskins for nearly all your weapons such as rockets and lasers, which is just about the entire battle.
Not sarcasm or insults since I don't use sarcasm. I really do like your sounds. Sometimes 20 Defenders are pretty to annoying to hear fire all at once.
This video is so relaxing for some reason hahaha, TA is the RTS king
Realy
I'd love to see the Total Mayhem mod version of this. It sure would be a one _hell_ of a _blast_!
PC's were seriously under powered for this game back in the late 90's.
Dude, fuck yea. This is a video I can show people of this game. Wargames just put it up on steam for $5.
Really like the core laser and arm canons.
core should use tactical advantage of hills and environment, also artillery units should be in the front line behind debris and long range missiles should be support
Beautiful!
Best fukin game ever made. Don't want to sound old but they really do not make them like this anymore. WIsh the video had the epic original soundtrack tho.
WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!
good old RTS!
Try game called Beyond All Reason basically open source remake of TA
Just watched it now, but I have to admit, it looks sexy. Hell, I am wondering how machines could handle so much ongoing on a win 95 pc? That's very impressive.
My comptuer in 1999 be like: I CAN'T HANDLE THIS!!! *CRASH*
Merci, ta vidéo est un big buster for TA, mais seras tu capables de me vaincre ? :) (Top 5 FR/ Top 8 EU = 1996/2001)
I definitely expected more medium laser fire at the front.
if the base game had shields it will be the best strategy ever
Note: Not a single CORE Reaper Tank participated in this battle.
Omg, how many hawks. 5:53
I don’t know who to cheer for.

+The S Looks like all from stock TA + the expansion back Total Annihilation Core Contingency.
No Big Berthas? ;-)
Nope he had 4 Vulcans....

love this game
Oh, so *thats* what DT'ed means.
When the necro was released, core won the war. Krogoth and necro? Not fair.
Who win this ? Core or Arm?
Arm.
huh? did you not see arm get rekt by about 15 or so nukes at the end ?
@@MyFatty69 Judging by their trajectory, their were fired from the Arm side.
Sad is the music is too loud. Total Annihilation I always preffered the sound of combat raw
