Balanced Annihilation
Balanced Annihilation (BA) is a popular strategy game based
on the Spring engine where you can choose from lots units to
recruit and buildings to construct. Spring has
the ambitious aim of creating the best
ever Real-time strategy, a strategic game that is distinctly not
turn-based. It sets out to bring the gameplay experience of Total
Annihilation (TA) into three dimensions.
BA is a mature mod and new versions feature only minor balance
tweaks.
BA gameplay develops in stages of progressively heavier units
with a
growing economy. Many strategies are viable in BA, including focusing
on map control, aggression, defense, air power, sea power, or mobility.
BA's lineage traces back to fan mods of the original Total
Annihilation. It feels similar, and play is more balanced for diverse
multiplayer strategies.
As the name suggests, the game rebalanced Absolute
Annihilation, which was a rebalanced version of the Total Annihilation
game Uberhack. The unit stats have been modified from Uberhack's base
stats making it very dissimilar from Uberhack. It features all the
previous units from retail version of Total Annihilation, plus several
extras for each faction. The balance does not reflect Total
Annihilation gameplay as much as an augmented version of Total
Annihilation.
