For those unfamiliar with TA: Escalation (TA:ESC), we like to think of our effort as a production quality expansion to Total Annihilation which can be enjoyed in both Skirmish and Multiplayer settings. TA:ESC offers significant enhancements to the venerable TA gaming engine, including Cavedog quality models, textures, and presentation - a feat claimed by many, but realized by none; new GUI and extended menus; unique upgrading system for defenses and resources; deflective Shield Generators; mass unit Teleportation Gates; automated mass loading and unloading transports; Multi-Unit-Air-Transports; proximity bonuses for adjacent Fusions and Energy Storages; Surfaceable subs; walking ships; Omni Intel Towers capable of massive radar, jamming, LOS, targeting, and Commander hacking; and much, much more!
After years of work, we've finally reached the point where we are nearing completion of the development of the Arm and Core and ready to begin focus on the inclusion of the Talon race into TA:Escalation. This Beta, in a sense, represents the halfway point for us thus far (hence Beta 5). The last 3 years have seen the merger of TAWP and the Arm and Core portions of the Talon Project lead to the subsequent emergence of one of the most successful TA mods in this latter day age of TA. Over these years we've introduced a lot of new units and improvements to the game, but we really have to say that the most enjoyable aspect has been meeting all of new folks to that have joined the community. A lot of folks come and go, but there always seems to be fresh faces coming in along with old familiars stopping by to say hello.
Nice :D
Plays better without the Deflective shields and the new AI is quite... interesting :P
Also i recognise the menu music from somewhere, thought i was imagining it lol. cant think where ive heard it or some thing similar before lol.
good work guys
Really good to have you here.
Though after 13 years, I can still fun in this game.
You've done a great job!
BEST MOD OF TOTAL ANN EVER !!! AND WORK IN THE VERSION 3D of TA too BUT SOMETIMES CRASH :/
TA is far easier for me to play & manage than that Supreme Commander. SC is too enormus and vast that i cant really grasp that huge scope in rts - if only they made it watered down then things would be alright. As it is, TA and its mods rules!!! Is TA E compatible with the TA_Bugfix1-6_to_1-7_changes v1-7b6 ?
when are you guys gonna upload the last release? please dont quit on us when its almost done.
