Changes: Total Annihilation

Revision as of 15:00, 28 June 2020

Total Annihilation is a game by Chris Taylor. It was an excellent RTS that received wide acclaim, including Gamespot's Game of the Year for 1997, that involved a 4000 year war between 2 factions, the organic (cloned) ARM and the mechanical (Patterned) CORE. Although Supreme Commander has a lot of similarities to Total Annihilation, it is considered the "spiritual successor" to Total Annihilation and not a true sequel.

Comparison of the two games

Total Annihilation continues to be popular today and has a very active modding community, including a completely updated game version. Some key differences between Supreme Commander and TA include:

TA's default AI is generally considered to be significantly superior to and much more challenging than Supreme Commander's default AI, although Supreme Commander's AI has several strategies to choose from for a more challenging game. Supreme Commander has the ability to run the AI on a separate core of a processor in a multicore system, allowing the AI to become a lot more challenging.
TA's default AI pursues the creation of much larger armies and much more violent superweapon strategies leading to much larger and grittier battles of longer duration.
TA's vehicles and buildings contain more subtle differences between each side compared to Supreme Commander. TA's units are also more specialised in their individual roles and have a larger and more exotic variety compared to Supreme Commander.
Supreme Commander's graphics are more supple, detailed and pleasant to view.
