Total Annihilation (TA) is a real-time strategy (RTS) video game created by Cavedog Entertainment under the guidance of famous lead designer Chris Taylor. This tests the player's ability to control and micromanage large groups of units, rather than their ability to manage a vast economy, which results in rather large battles, sometimes even requiring the player to reduce the game speed or else allow the AI computational freedom and lose control of the battle. Patch 3.1 was the last patch released by Cavedog for Total Annihilation which upgraded it to version 3.1. Some missions in the very short campaign could turn out to take longer than others in the long campaign. The missions in Battle Tactics are segregated into four campaigns: Very Short, Short, Medium, and Long. In many missions, particularly in short or very short campaigns, the player begins with all of the units required to complete the mission objective, perhaps even lacking the Commander in certain missions. Annihilation is a military strategy in which an attacking army seeks to entirely destroy the military capacity of the opposing army. Join Date: 21 Aug 2007. Total Annihilation: Battle Tactics features smaller, quicker battles to satisfy that nagging Total Annihilation fix. It was released on 30th September 1997 and was the first RTS game to feature 3D units and terrain. Furthermore, some missions played on the Hard setting could be amply completed by novice players, while some missions set on the Easy setting would be extremely difficult even for an experienced player. Total Annihilation: Battle Tactics is the second of two expansion packs for the popular RTS computer game Total Annihilation, released on June 30, 1998 in the United States.
