Anyone here ever played or heard of total Annihilation?

Recommended Posts

Well, if not, I can upload it to rapidshare so you can play it. I know it has multi-player capabilities n stuff, but it is an old game. That's one of the great things about it though, it's old enough that you can have 12 player games with each army having over 500 units and still play very smoothly. But it's based on robotish type themes and there are literally hundreds of custom units available n stuff. Great game, great time waister.

Dude, I use to love that game...It was all about getting those damned moho mines built with the fusion reactors so you could power up the big ass guns, huge ships and beastly tanks for the core. When I was a freshman in highschool my friend burned me a copy of it but I haven't seen it in ages...I haven't even thought about the game in probably 8 years and I would love to reminisce with it. Thanks for reminding me of this classic rts

I freaking love all the addons available for it. Like I have something called TAUCP (Total Annihilation Units Compilation Pack), its a compilation of over like, 100 custom units and brings in the almighty Krogoth and introduces "Smart" AI along with giant mechs along with all the little smaller ones. I'll post a few screen shots later ;). but yeah, what I'm uploading is the complete game, Battle tactics and Core contingency included all patches and the mod installed. Should only have to unzip to your C drive and play. If there are issue with that, I can upload the CD's themselves and you can install it manually, but it's an old game, so just dropping it in should work well. Right now it's 60% done being made into a RAR.

Gladly, perhaps we can get an online game going later lol. I'm trying to screen the Orcone (Beasty ass huge bot for Arm side) There are the reg K-bots, then advanced K-Bots, then the essential Super Weapon K-Bots. The AI whores these and they are your only true hope for survival later on. Having armies of these and waging war is so damn fun and satisfying when you win.

Anyone know of a file host website that allows for 1.4 gig transfer? RS would allow it if I had a premium account I think, as well as MegaUpload. Any others?

Damn, thats a huge file for a pre-year 2000 game...I can't say I know of any file transfer sites that allow something that large, I will look though. How much is a premium account for a month? If 5 people want it, we can split the cost 5 ways I guess

Well hell, the JCS have a RapidShare account. And keep in mind, it's actually the result of 4 CDs being installed along with a mod and all the patches, so 1.4 isn't that bad.

I guess I didn't read too well, I was just thinking it was a regular version of TA. 1.4 isn't terrible, but still large for a game that old, even with all the mods, but thats just in my opinion. I remember the original red alert, which was around the same time, being maybe 100mb of space

Yeah I thought about a torrent, and I think I just tried Send Space. Only allows for 300 mb >< Not sure how to make a torrent file though. It would work well I think.

Yes, I can make split archives, but I figured 14 files was a bit much to DL from RS. Isn't there a limit to the # of files each day? Oh wait, I may have a solution to that anyways. I'll make the archive just in case anyways.

Ok, so, here are the RS links for the game. I'll give you the CDs rather then the game installed to avoid any possible issues with registry or whatever else may happen.

You will need this to play the game. It has the Cd for main skirmish and online play as well as the updates and add on Cd's

If you want to play the campaign mode, there are 2 ways of doing that (you need to have the game installed)

1- You mount the ISO file or burn the files to a disk (has all the video)

http://rapidshare.com/files/78468114/total...paign.part2.rar

http://rapidshare.com/files/78473086/total...paign.part3.rar

2- or you just download the totala4.hpi file, and put it in the TOTALA directory (has no video)

Here is a link to the mod I play with (best I've seen, really livens the game up, though I suggest you play the game without the mod in campaign till you get used to the interface n stuff, then it will make more sense to you)

http://files.filefront.com/taucp23zip/;728872;/fileinfo.html

For skirmish, I suggest you stick to metal maps, it really simplifies the building process because you can build metal extractors in any location. You can change the resolution of the game in the options in skirmish and maybe elsewhere, but I suggest you do not go above 1600x1200, things get ridiculously small >>. That's it for now, any question can be posted here and good luck downloading all that.
