What can i say. This is the best game ever. Everything was though out perfectly. I have played many strategy games, but this is the most detailed and fun.
It is quite old, but still is better than some around today. First theres two sides. Theres not much of a story except these sides are at war, and your part of it now.
Each side has its own set of units. Some are unique to each side. But from the second the game starts you need to have a strategy. Go for solar energy, or for wind power, then metal? Or go soloar then k-bots, vehicles or air? Which should you choose?
This game introduces an entirely new resource model also. Instead of the peon model, it has energy availible nearly everywhere, and metal a scarce commodity. You need to find rocks, wreckage, or metal deposits in the ground to get metal.
This brings me to another point: Wreckage. If you have a huge tank rumbling along, and its in a battle and it dies, does it dissapear? well no, it does not. If a tank dies, a metal 'skeleton' will be left behind. This metal can be reclaimed for you to use.
Also full destructable terrain is availible. If trees are a problem, you can reclaim them for energy, set them on fire and make a forest of dead burnt trees, or blast them with large weapons.
Strategy is important everywhere. If you made tanks in the begining, and attacked your enemy you have a large chance of losing. Maybe the enemy had k-bots, just for defense, and a lot of air bombers ready. Well, you just left your base wide open for a massive air strik; crippling your economy and technology. You should prepare for anything before attacking so if you fail you have back up.
TA can be played on single player, with 50 missions; and endless skirmish missions against the computer, or 9 other computers. You can make the computers unallied which each other, or make them all alied against you. You can also make your own maps to play on. Also, there is multiplayer which is very fun and can have up to 10 people playing at once.
Also you can create your own units. Ever wanted a unit in the game after you? Make it! Theres a lot of people who have made thousands of units that can help you make a simple one.
Overall this is the best game ever made, not to even mention the super amazing graphics and unbeleiveable sound implemented.
If you have 10 bucks, and you dont have the game, make no hesitation to buy it. I spent the money and i would have spent 100 dollar if it were that much. This is truly the best ever.
