The highly popular OTA mod, Absolute Annihilation, has now been fully converted for compatibility with Spring. Unlike the [http://www.fileuniverse.com/?p=showitem&ID=708 original Spring version] released some months ago, the new version is fully compatible with the mod switching system.  It also features many visual and strategic enhancements only possible in Spring, and uses the latest version of the AA dataset, 6.0.


The latest version, 0.2, corrects several major bugs from the original version (0.1) and increases all unit line-of-sight by 30%.
With over 400 balanced units, Absolute Annihilation, or AA, is the single most-downloaded Total Annihilation units pack. Now AA has been ported to Spring and takes advantage of this new engine's every feature.  It is based on [[UberHack]] and so attempts to rebalance TA without rearranging the buildtree as radically as XTA has. However whereas [[UberHack]] added only a few extra units, AA incorporates many new units including some of the more impressive new units concocted by the ever-creative TA community.

Absolute Annihilation is distinct, but closer to classic TA than to XTA.
A few of the larger units in AA

With over 400 balanced units, Absolute Annihilation, or AA, is the single most-downloaded Total Annihilation units pack. Now AA has been ported to Spring and takes advantage of this new engine's every feature. It is based on UberHack and so attempts to rebalance TA without rearranging the buildtree as radically as XTA has. However whereas UberHack added only a few extra units, AA incorporates many new units including some of the more impressive new units concocted by the ever-creative TA community.

AA is under constant development, spurred on by its small but highly active community following, and Caydr, who heads up the development. Units are subject to frequent and sometimes brutal tweaking and pruning. AA contains new factories, units, resource buildings, sneaky defensive structures and an array of massive "experimental" units for brutalizing the enemy's base.

Players new to the mod should be warned that some old units now fill new roles, while some are more (or less) effective than they were in classic TA as of the 3.1c patch.

AA:Spring is based on version 6.0 of the OTA mod. Now that development of AA for Total Annihilation has largely ceased, the mod's developer is working hard on developing Spring-based versions incorporating all of the engine's advanced features.
