BA is similar to the Original Total Annihilation (OTA for short), and if you’ve played the original you should feel quite at home, however there are some important differences for OTA players to note:
Units/structures statistics (like HP, dmg, etc.) are different in BA.
The Guardian (tier 1 plasma turret) isn’t a very useful defense unit for its cost; it’s more of a forward artillery piece. It also has a brand new high trajectory mode.
Most of the AA units in the game shoot only at planes rather than both planes and ground. So don’t be surprised by Jethro/Crasher or Defender/Pulverizer AA-only ability. However Samson/Slasher stays AA & ground.
Added units list.
Main differences from Original Total Annihilation
Wait, there must be a ton of differences? We are noobs but we recon that Arm and Core differ – Core shoot slower but harder, and we have concluded that Core isn’t as good as Arm.
Like Brawlers are better then their counter parts in Arm.
Another example, Metal Makers are smaller in Arm, could be an advantage.
