best ever RTS. period.

just had a game with the banzai AI turned on. damn its hell of a hard

btw, i find repair pads work if you use the "move" command on the pads as part of their patrol. works best with the multi pads in the TAUCP/TAUIP packs.

I like fortifying my main base then setting up outposts of popup cannons and flac cannons in a shield shape, aimed at the enemy base. Once that's secure, I send in the fleet to build a vulcan.

Also, phoenix bombers own all. I love tearing strips out of the enemy base with like 40 of these.



Has anyone ever played Startrek: Armada? I'm not such a fan of star trek but this game may be be my favorite RTS if TA isn't. I was the 'standby Nezumi' for the *UA* clan.

StarCraft is pretty high up on my list too.

I imagine I didn't get my point across in the first post, so :

YOOHOOO, WHAT CAN BE BASICALLY CONSIDERED A SEQUEL TO TOTAL ANNIHILATION IS IN THE WORKS, IT'S CALLED SUPREME COMMANDER AND IT'S BEING DONE BY THE SAME GUY BEHIND TOTAL ANNIHILATION.

And it's in caps lock, so I mean business.

I'm with ya there. You go 'oh shit, I'd better turn off this cannon' then you have a full supply of power again. And allowing any construction unit to help build anything is such a better way of doing things.

For the uninitiated, Total Annihilation is hot, steamy, oily, non-stop robot-on-robot action. And nothing else.

Not sure if that's the best site to link to, but what the hell.

well cavedog is now part of atari, who want little to do with it besides the rights to the software, hence www.cavedog.com looks a little bizzare
