[Longplay, No Commentary] Total Annihilation (PC, 1997) 1080p Hard ARM Campaign Play-through

* I may appear clueless early on but I assure you I will improve later on Total Annihilation is a real-time strategy game originally released in 1997 for Windows. It is arguably one of the defining titles of the genre which was criminally overshadowed by other more popular titles of that era. «What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machines escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds» is probably one of the most epic and apt introduction in the history of gaming. The first video of this series will cover the galactic war from the perspective of ARM. The game, as its title suggests, is all about total annihilation of enemies, a bit too literally most of the time. Mission objectives usually revolve around building up forces to destroy every single enemy unit on the map, throw in some capture objectives occasionally. Story-wise, well, the player must lead their faction from one system to another in their quest to annihilate the enemy. How the war came about was not mentioned in the game, though it was explained in the game manual so do give it a read to have a better understanding of the game universe. I love the sound department; the music and attacks all sound great, just that they might break down when too many things happen at once. There are balancing issues with this game that gives rise to a certain meta, where certain units are fielded pretty much every time while others are rarely seen. Spamming cheap low level units...
