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.

History

The game started as a fork of Absolute Annihilation 2.23 in 2006. The community split in 2019 and shortly afterwards Floris (2016-19) resigned as maintainer. The current developer is Ares. The previous maintainers, who shouldn't be forgotten, were:

• [teh]Decay (2016)
• Silentwings (2012-16)
• Beherith (2011-12)
• Niobium (2011)
• TheFatController (2010-11)
