Overview
Balanced Annihilation was the long-term most popular game on the Spring engine. It's based on 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: Balanced Annihilation 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.
