Overview
Balanced Annihilation is a fan mod of Total Annihilation remastered with new graphics and balance. BA is a Total Annihilation remake built using the Spring engine based on three basic principles:
- Refined Total Annihilation remake: BA's lineage traces back to original Total Annihilation mods. It feels similar, and play is more balanced for diverse multiplayer strategies.
- Stable gameplay: BA has matured through several years of playtesting. New versions don't drastically alter the gameplay.
- Balance: Every unit has a role, and no unit has every role. Very few units get truly obsolete as a game progresses. The ideal state is to have no obsolete units at all.
