Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I have the game, but never installed it. one of several that made me realize I have too many games.

I've heard some people rave about it, is it really that good?

Seems to have come from the TA unit database site - haven't been there in a while. One of the Mads (Monk or Viking had some good ones IIRC).

With the Core Contingency expansion pack (which added about 75 units) total units came to 220+ - and this was without fan-made or later-released units from cavedog.

Gotta love those Krogoths!

Apparently the TA-Kingdoms pair wasn't anything to write home about though ...

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

TA is way better than SC.
in starcraft you can miss in TA you can`t
you have many third party units in SC
LoL TA is really a better game.
and SC woud probably die without the Official website

I haven't tried it in multiplayer, but the single-player campaigns in TA were awesome compared to those in War2, AoE, AoK, and SC.

Multiplayer works fairly well- on the cavedog site they used to have a GALACTIC WAR going where hte core battled the Rim... It was extremely fun-

can you play the MP games on those links?
I havent' played the game in about 2 years

You really thought so? IMO the SP campaign storyline was the one thing that let this game down a bit - just eliminate the opposition in basically every scenario - unlike starcraft that seemed to have an interesting storyline.
Now the TA/CC skirmish maps OTOH were an entirely different matter ...

Great game. Total Anhilation and Star Craft are the only 'traditional' RTS games that I have ever liked.

There are some really nice TA mods / user created units out there, too.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Ah, sadly I have lost my installation disks, and was not able to transfer TA to my new computer.

If only they would make a TA II...

(And no, that medieval TA game doesn't count.)

TA is now available on those $10 software displays in...well, whereever you find those $10 software displays (what a sad fate--just let me grab two or three, just in case). I think CC is available at Chips And Bits.

I did post some site here, but due to die-offs and consolidation, Tomcat's links seem to be the best shot. One of my favorite sites was TAMEC (.org), which is now under the planetannhilation banner.

I love third party units. My personal favorite is the Chainsaw (the hyperactive AA missle battery that would mow down friend and for alike).
