What makes XTA Special, Unique & Addictive?
XTA has an authentic TA feel, with no turbo charged easy fix solutions; player must rely on forethought & tactics rather than mass spam against mass spam. Each unit has been carefully and slowly modified over many years with no drastic pruning to incorporate massive needless units. We believe XTA should keep to the bare roots of TA and yet open the experience to more diverse tactics! Each new unit added is excessively tested and is open for discussion by the ever growing XTA community. The main difference from the original TA (apart from the new engine)would be the tech tree and the strength of the Commanders. By opening the tech tree to higher levels early the SY clan has made the mod multi map type friendly in respects to pure metal maps etc. The choice to build higher level building and units is there, however an intelligent player will quickly learn when and how to build what and where very quickly. This also leaves the prospect of re-building your base quickly if you suffer a severe blow. Thus making XTA a more ever moving form of developing game play always keeping the players challenged.
