The ultimate expression of TA, bundled in a form that is playable even on the newest Windows operating systems and upgraded to the old Cavedog 3.1 standard, is the Total Annihilation Commander Pack. #Where to install total annihilation maps windows# The Commander Pack includes both Total Annihilation expansions - the Core Contingency and Battle Tactics. The former expands the original campaign with about twelve missions for each faction in Total Annihilation, the CORE and the ARM. Set after the canonical ARM victory in the original game, the Core Contingency follows the race between the ARM and the CORE in the distant Ocelon system to obtain an ancient artifact of alien origin - CORE to use the artifact to power an implosion device capable of destroying all the galaxy not in a small area within the device, and ARM to prevent this from happening.īattle Tactics is an interesting expansion contained within the Total Annihilation Commander Pack that does not follow canon or present a particular story, rather it is a set of missions grouped according to length that place a player in various tactical situations. It allows for specialized training with particular unit types and in some of the many possibilities that arise within such a vast and complex game model. The units of Total Annihilation were, and largely still are, far more innovative than the selections generally seen in most real time strategy games. The Total Annihilation Commander Pack expands the unit classes available from the Kbot-Vehicle-Aircraft-Ship model of the original TA and adds in Hovercraft, Seaplanes, and for the CORE an experimental unit - the Krogoth. The original unit types see expanded options that better round out the combat power of each faction. While the CORE’s options were weighted towards vehicles and the ARM’s towards Kbots in the original release of Total Annihilation, the sheer diversity of map types available meant that one faction or the other often dominated a particular map type. #Where to install total annihilation maps windows#.
