The whole concept of TAESC is so incredible! I mean, apart from it being an amazing creation effort, that require so much exhausting testing and collective work. I don't mean "only" the mechanical gameplay aspects, I also mean the unit design that is coherent with the OG aesthetic while also being inventive. I think I've been following the project since the very begining! Good work, you people!
Ive taken a bit of a break from TA the last few years, been playing it since I got it for christmas 1997,,, Im glad to see there are still new mods being made and updated. Some of these are so much more intricate and crazier than the older mods, I feel like I prefer a lot of the old ones but, I literally have like 50 versions of TA installed on my PC all different versions lmao so, whats 1 more gonna hurt! If you ever want/need someone to trade maps with, or classic TA files/maps/mods, I have literally 20+ years of files spread across several PCs. Am happy to help out any newer TA gamers who may not have been around to download that stuff back in the day. Many of the old websites with custom units and maps and custom campaigns and total conversions and whatnot are LONG gone, I pretty much have it all! And maybe you have some stuff I dont have also!
This game was and still one of my favorite. I had this game from my childhood, played this game long hours--days. Escalation is the best mod for the original game in my opinion. I make maps like this one is mine on the video, if you want it I could transfer to you somehow And also Escalation mod has a discord server if you want to join just let me know they make a fantastic work there
@@sharinganfox5038 I think the Escalation mod is fun but, it has a ton of flaws. The balancing seems to be way off, some of the upgrade features seem to be totally useless and wasteful, and the metal/energy usage is definitely a bit off, as well as some of the weapon scripting. It's far from perfect but, a very fun mod. My biggest complaint is the uncessesary oversizing of many of the defensive structures, why make everything so massive? Why make it harder to play the game and build bases? I opened up the HPI viewer and disassembled the GP3 file so I could edit it to my liking. Resizing made the game A LOT more playable. I found several errors in the units coding that were small but could impact the game, such as them leaving a 0 out of a units energy cloak usage (making it like 100 instead of 1000, and the core equivalent having the 1000) Do they have a error report section on the discord? Cause I could gladly share the bugs I found.
@@sharinganfox5038 Thanks, I actually just found a very unusual bug, tried playing an all water level, and the ai's were incapable of building shipyards lmao. Never seen that happen in 20+ years of TA gaming,,, they would only build a seaplane platform and build structures for defense/metal/energy. Heard of this happening with TA Escalation? I posted it on there but, Im stumped as to why. tried a bunch of different water levels
Ohhh im a long TA fan also. I love this excalation mod but im really short of Big maps. I like playing with 8/10 players. I have now only 3 maps for that. Do you have some more that u can share? Yours truly
it will take a million of that to produce all of those T4 units! I love the patch this more! they even returned the older new units from Escalation itself (the original units + wraith and others)!
God i love this game. TA, sup com, and mext hopefully sanctuary. Havent played any rts games in over a year. Im getting that itch again. Saw sanctuary stuff and feelin it once again.

Is the OG campaign + Battle Tactics content playable with Escalation? It would be really cool to use the OG units with their rebalancing in the original single player campaigns
@@88Askal88 yeah man, the original game is from steam for me ass well, but the mod is for free just you need to install that when i say install i mean copy the files to your TA folder and that’s it ;)
I download your file in dropbox and copy in total Annihilation Escalation 9.9.3 . Why could not I play it? It appear that " record BSvent01 missing from feature files"
Would like to play on my map? the file in the dropbox was only the tile set I used to make my map, not the map it self. If you need my map , give me you email and I'll send it to you.

I just tested out the Olympus on an AI skirmish. Hilarious how game ending it is.
See ? - Just some robots having fun - no tv's or cell phones ! :P
you have the touch.
Wow i used to play the hell out of this game. Can you still add scripts to the steam version?
Like the resurrection bot? and others?
You mean like summon units by codes?

How to zoom out ?

I find it ridiculous how everybody tries to make bigger and bigger units since they were originally supposed to be cyclopean in size to start with.
Hi I cant seem to install the mod I can run T.A on win 11 but the modding part is there a guide
heya, you can find the guide on my channel, but it's easy when you download the ESC unzip it and put it in you Total annihilation folder and that's it
how to run this game on windows 10?
How do they get it to run so smoothly?

@@sharinganfox5038 Thanks bro, but I bought the game in steam
@@88Askal88 yeah man, the original game is from steam for me ass well, but the mod is for free just you need to install that when i say install i mean copy the files to your TA folder and that’s it ;)
@@sharinganfox5038 Well, happy new year
Does escalation automatically update or do I have to do it manually?
You have to do it your self when a new update comes out
@@sharinganfox5038 can you tell me the site?
@@austinstoner1988 taesc.tauniverse.com/?p=downloads
@@sharinganfox5038thank you very much

the file in the dropbox was only the tile set I used to make my map, not the map it self.
If you need my map , give me you email and I'll send it to you.
Question. Why every map in total annihilation escalation could not I play load after save them and exit from game and get into game again ?
ya I got the same error when trying to play on the Hot War map
Love this mod how do you cheat and remove fog of war?
"cheat" if you mean summon units, use this guide:
taesc.tauniverse.com/unitguide/
"remove fog of war" ??? what do you mean by that?
There's a option to do this in skirmkish, no need to use cheat. Something like terrain:all visible.
Its +nowicansee
Escalation is the expasion made by players that never exist in TA
hi fox can i have the map you made?
yeah man, sure thing
Not trynna hate on it, but it looks and feels and sounds so unpolished compared to plain TA.
robots
wtf is going on in this. 🤣
hey @sharinganfox5038 can I get this map? thx!
this is like or very very similar than supreme commander total mayhem right?
Total annihilation is sup coms daddy. So yes. Extremely similar. I played back in 97-03 and just got the game on steam with Escalation. It's amazing.
