Overview

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 matured through several years of playtesting. New versions don't drastically alter gameplay. The current BA has an unstable testing fork called: Eternal Annihilation.

• 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.

History

Balanced Annihilation started as a fork of Absolute Annihilation 2.23 in the end of 2006. Beherith has recently (April 2011) became the main BA's maintainer. The previous maintainers who shouldn't be forgotten were TheFatController and Noize.

Note: This is a very incomplete history!
