 Total Annihilation
Total Annihilation was unparalleled for its time, and even today it is widely considered one of the finest games in the RTS genre.
Although the game originally shipped with 150 discrete units, the expansion packs Total Annihilation: The Core Contingency and Battle Tactics allow players to choose from 230 units, and a possible 5,000 units are available after 3rd-party installations from Total Annihilation's many different fansites.
A major example of this was the Uberhack modification, which modified all of the existing units and added several additional ones, in the attempt to balance the game and create unique roles for each of the wide variety of units.

 GameSpy.com - Hall Of Fame: Total Annihilation
In fact, in early drafts of Total Annihilation, the game's backdrop was the eternal struggle between two races, the Squares and the Rounds.
What really separated Total Annihilation from the pack, however, were the downloadable units and maps.
Total Annihilation had a staying power unlike any other, because each week meant the game itself was now a little different than before.

 GameSpy:
The most notable mod was the Uberhack, primarily written and designed by Michael "Brave Sir Robin" Todd and other members of the TA community.
In a nutshell, the Uberhack is an attempt to evaluate and further balance each unit, weapon, and AI scripting on a granular level.
Caveedog's follow-up to Total Annihilation was the sword-and-sorcery themed Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, which used an enhanced TA engine.

 Total Annihilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An example is the Uberhack modification, which modified all of the existing units and added several additional ones, in the attempt to balance the game and create unique roles for each of the wide variety of units.
The Vulcan and Buzzsaw units added in Total Annihilation: The Core Contingency have alleviated this problem by allowing the destruction of massive hordes of light units (like the Flash tank) at long range, before the light units even have a chance to see the target or fire their weapons.
Cavedog's Total Annihilation release was one of the first to truly embrace the fansite paradigm.

 Absolute Annihilation - Information
Absolute Annihilation (AA for short) is a new TA mod designed to pick up where Uberhack left off, adding lots of new content while still keeping the original game intact.
I've added hundreds of additional units and also heavily modified the ones you're familiar with from OTA (Original Total Annihilation).
With the signs of Uberhack's deterioration and the lack of any other recent, reliable large-scale mods being released, I decided that it was finally time to release Absolute Annihilation to the world at large.

 Total Annihilation review on Bodanga!
Total Annihilation is a futuristic real time strategy game from Cavedog Entertainment.
Cavedog are currently releasing one new unit every week available from their web site with expansion packs promised for the future which can only add to the longevity of the game.
Each unit or building takes a specific amount of energy and metal to produce, and as long as you've got the resources you can speed up development by adding more and more construction vehicles to each one as it is building.

Lets see, Total Annihilation was the first true 3D RTS game which sported a Line-of-Sight and 3d units.
TA has far superior graphics, interface, waypoint system, etc. The uberhack gives you a bunch of new interesting units, as well as ironing out some of the issues i had with the game.
Total Annihilation is the perfect name for the game.

Total Annihilation is a futuristic real-time strategy (RTS) computer game, created in 1997 by Chris Taylor and Cavedog Entertainment.
On to a more detailed description of the game, Total Annihilation is distinguished from its contemporaries such as Starcraft by its three-dimensional rendering technology, true Newtonian physics, rapid battles, high-powered weapons, a staggering array of different (and customizable) units, and rapid and versatile unit construction.
One of the unique features that sets Total Annihilation apart from many other real-time strategy games on the market is a powerful interface.

 Absolute Annihilation for Spring - Mod DB
It is based on UberHack and so attempts to rebalance TA without rearranging the buildtree as radically as XTA has.
However whereas UberHack added only a few extra units, AA incorporates many new units including some of the more impressive new units concocted by the ever-creative TA community.
Now that development of AA for Total Annihilation has largely ceased, the mod's developer is working hard on developing Spring-based versions incorporating all of the engine's advanced features.

 Total Annihilation Uberhack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Uberhack is a fantastic unofficial mod and unit pack for Total Annihilation.
Virtually every original TA unit has been modified by the Uberhack and a large quantity of extra units have been added for good measure.
One of the makor differences in the Uberhack is that anti-air defences only target air units (they'll completely ignore ground units), this makes them a lot more effective at defending against massive swarms of aircraft.

 Uberhack for Total Annihilation - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
What Uberhack does is tweaking and editing nearly every aspect of the game.
Apart from including all the official released extra units from the Cavedog homepage and fixing various never fixed bugs, Uberhack create some new units from scratch.
The most frustrating change for newcomers to the Uberhack mod is maybe the rule that Missile Defense Towers only work against aircraft and not against air and ground targets as in original Total Annihilation.

On the positive side to this change, the Missile Defence Turrets can be built at an earlier technology level (buildable by the Commander).
These modifications change the tactics of many of the aspects of the game, including base design, defensive structures, and unit management.
There are modifications that are built upon the Uberhack foundation:

 Inside Mac Games News: Total Annihilation Beta Patch Released
Westlake Interactive has taken time out of their packed schedule to release a beta patch for Total Annihilation, the RTS they ported for MacSoft in 1999.
The only way to solve this is to remove all custom units and then add them back in one at a time until you identify which one has the ID conflict.
Version 3.1.2b6 of Total Annihilation is a "Public Beta." This means that some of the known bugs have been fixed and features have been added, but we don't have the manpower to put the game through a full testing cycle.
