Overview
Balanced Annihilation is a Total Annihilation mod remastered with new graphics and balance. BA is a Total Annihilation remake built using the Spring engine based on three principles:
- Refined Total Annihilation mod: BA's lineage traces back to Total Annihilation and the mods that refined its classic graphics and gameplay across decades.
- Competitive Gameplay: BA has matured through years of playtesting in the hands of veteran players. Faction and unit choices offer many unique tactical possibilities.
- Stable Balance: BA is conservatively balanced to favour strategic play. Every unit has a role and few units get truly obsolete as a game progresses.
