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. It is currently maintained by TheFatController and was previously maintained by Noize.
