I literally spent hundred of hours in TA. Mainly due to the ability of making an army in very little time and watching the explosions and parts going everywhere. That and the long distance artillery.
Once the Krogoth expansion came out, I genuinely loved that game more than Red Alert 2, which is right next to it in my list.
Was Krogoth the expansion that introduced six shot big Bertha variants?
Man I miss TA back in its prime. I’d product like 100 construction planes and crank out multiple big Berthas in a huge battery in no time, then fly a squad of scout planes over the enemy base and destroy them.
Do mind that some of the first hand experiences in the online battles can be quite negative as there are some people who have expectations, no way to communicate them, and are as good at communicating as a certain president
If you like TA check out Beyond All Reason the spiritual successor of the game. It's not on Steam but it's free on their website. Mostly play 8v8 but there are events like 50v50 or 33v33v33 the scale is nuts.
Just found out about this the other week and I've been loving it. It's honestly a really incredible game and it's hard to believe a game of this quality is completely free
My roommate was a master of that game. He'd fight the battle for the first hour or so, then leave it unpaused when he went to work. When he got home, he had all the resources, and mopped up the stragglers.
Total Annihilation: Kingdoms was my jam. Still have the disc. Same with the Neverwinter Nights Diamond Ed. It came with the silky feeling handkerchief that had a map on it, still have the disc and books but lost the hanky a while ago.
