Total Annhilation MP game

Would anyone care to try it? A game with 4+ people is what I'm shooting for- though we can definatly go with more if there is an expressed interest.

I'll play. I'm pretty rusty though, and need to reinstall and get all the patches and so forth.

I have TA version 3.1 (both expansions, and the 3.1 patch) with Absolute Annihilation installed. I also have the SW TA and World Domination mods.

I'm not sure what you can do to get the files required. Google "RTSC - TOTAL ANNIHILATION" which will get you a site that's got enormous amounts of links, including the links to various mods.

Keep in mind that if any 56K people are in on the game, the unit limit has to be dropped a bit (IIRC, 250-350 was a good compromise for 4 people), and dropped more as more people beyond 4 players is added.

Also be warned that TA doesn't really do modem games well beyond 4 players anyway, so any grandiose plans should have the caveat that people might have to split up and go at it in smaller games.

How will the games be set up though? Like through a VPN or something?

Total Annihilation supports TCP/IP connections across the Internet. Someone would host the game, give the other prospective players his IP address, and they would connect to that address.

Use Uberhack version. It is the most balance for massive Multiplayer.

IIRC, Uberhack requires the Core Contingency.

I'd play, but I'd have to install andy would probably last 5 minutes before getting smashed.
