Complete Annihilation

Balanced Annihilation

BA has three basic principles:

  • Refined Original Total Annihilation: 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.
  • Stable gameplay: BA has [i]matured[/i] through several years of playtesting. New versions don't drastically alter gameplay.
  • Balance: Every unit has a role, and no unit has every role. Very few units get truly obsolete as a game progresses.

Expand and Exterminate

Expand and Exterminate offers three very unique and dynamic factions fighting for global domination. Each faction has its own design and fighting style that requires players to employ their own style of combat to defeat opponents. All three teams also have their own unique super weapons that offer great strategic difference. Expand and Exterminate is set in the near future that includes many futuristic and even alien-like vehicles for combat.

Spring: 1944

Spring:1944 is a WWII themed game based on the open source Spring Engine. Our goal is to create four fully functional sides (US, Germany, USSR, Britain) with period-accurate units and strengths. Realism is a primary design goal, second only to creating a game that is fun and accessible to play.
