Set after the canonical ARM victory in the original game, the Core Contingency follows the race between the ARM and the CORE in the distant Ocelon system to obtain an ancient artifact of alien origin - CORE to use the artifact to power an implosion device capable of destroying all the galaxy not in a small area within the device, and ARM to prevent this from happening.īattle Tactics is an interesting expansion contained within the Total Annihilation Commander Pack that does not follow canon or present a particular story, rather it is a set of missions grouped according to length that place a player in various tactical situations. The former expands the original campaign with about twelve missions for each faction in Total Annihilation, the CORE and the ARM. The Commander Pack includes both Total Annihilation expansions - the Core Contingency and Battle Tactics. The ultimate expression of TA, bundled in a form that is playable even on the newest Windows operating systems and upgraded to the old Cavedog 3.1 standard, is the Total Annihilation Commander Pack. Even in an age where Starcraft 2 is all the rage, and the Command and Conquer universe feels almost wholly played out, Total Annihilation still maintains a devoted following. Total Annihilation is one of those classic games that just won’t die.
