Total Annihilation

Cavedog | GT Interactive |

Long ago, the galaxy had known peace. Paradise was ruled with the hand of science, and the hand was that of the galactic governing body known as the Core. Ironically, it was the Core's ultimate victory, the victory over death itself, that brought about the downfall of its paradise and started the war that would decimate a million worlds. The immortality process, known as "patterning," involved the electronic duplication of brain matrices, allowing the transfer of consciousness into durable machines. Effectively it meant immortality, and the Core decreed the process mandatory for all citizens in order to ensure their safety. However, there were many citizens unwilling to toss aside their bodies so casually, many indeed who regarded patterning as an atrocity. They fled to the outer edges of the galaxy, forming a resistance movement that became known as the Arm. War began, though it was never officially declared by either side.

Description

Size 18 X 18, File Size 20.0mb, Minimum Ram 128Mb, Max Players 8. Designer Notes: This map was done up as a demo map for the just released Aramon TAK to TA tileset conversion. The tileset conversion was begun by Wotan (author of Creon and Zhon Tileset conversion and a number of TA maps) and completed recently by Chinahook (author of Green Completion tileset and a number of maps which can be seen at TA Power and Tamec). Map requires both tamec2004 and tak2004 feature sets to work. The Aramon tileset is graphically very attractive. IMHO, the best looking parts are the granite cliffs, the variety of sinkholes, and a set of very stunning looking high mountains. Mechanically it works well, with the existing part I of the tileset offering a stupendous variety of rivers and sinkholes (both low and high) to play with. Another interesting piece is the way the coast transitions work, allowing easy transistions between shallow and cliff-like coastal sections.
