What is SCTA, you might ask? It's a mod for Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance that aims to faithfully recreate the Arm and Core factions from Total Annihilation, inside the Forged Alliance framework, and balance them against the other armies within the base game. In order to participate in this tournament, you must have a Steam copy of Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and have downloaded the Forged Alliance Forever gaming client, which is available on the Forged Alliance Forever website. Then, grab yourself a copy of mods entitled SCTAFix and SCTABalance from the Mod Vault located inside the client.

In celebration of Total Annihilation's 23rd birthday I do indeed have some newsbits to share!
First up is that our community play-by-play man Postal has shared another of his renowned Total Annihilation Replays reviews, and this one is pretty special. Straight from the secret archives of the legendary Gnug615 comes a match between himself and Gnug725 against TAG_Warlock and Aslan on that famous battleground map, Gods of War! This replay dates back over 20 years to April of 1999 - those primordial days where Cavedog still haunted the RTS gaming industry, and features tactics the likes of which you may have never seen before.

Second up is that Total AnnihilationEscalation main-man Wotan put together an incredible new piece of eyecandy to salute the valiant and venerable game that his project is built upon, and to showcase the flight and fury that Escalation contains! The preview image is below, but the ultra 8K version resides on the Escalation Discord server! You may even spot units yet to be released - and long awaited, in the expanded view!

Thanks to a contribution by TA community member, SnakeInTheMirror, Total Annihilation has seen what may be the first attempt at using neural network AI technology to enhance and upscale some of the venerable and memorable CG video that came with the game. So, below is the introductory video from Total Annihilation for your viewing pleasure:
Upon clicking above, the enhanced video will play first, and then a split-screen is is employed so that you can compare with the original footage. The improvement is noteworthy, and it's definitely worth checking out if you haven't come across it already.

Today I have an interview to share with Wotan, co-founder and leading man of the runaway train known as Total Annihilation: Escalation. Without further ado..
What was your entry into the TA community? When did you first get the game and what were your initial thoughts about how it was constructed and its playability?

My brothers and I opened up one of the very first LAN gaming sites in the USA back in 1996, which we trademarked as the ‘Matrix’, before shutting it all down right before a certain movie came out years later… Anyway, we got heavily into real-time strategy gaming via Command & Conquer, that first year, when we started reading about this new ‘3D’ game in PC Magazine called Total Annihilation. With games like Quake and Magic Carpet, 3D was really in vogue as the Next Big Thing back then. TA looked cool, but at first it did not really seem all the much different than Dark Reign and some of the other next gen RTS titles on the horizon. That changed in the fall of ’97 when we first started up TA though. We had these 'ginormous' 20” CRTs (you could play games on these for an extra $2.50 an hour) running TA at 800x600. My first memory of the game is playing on ‘Rock Alley’ as Core (color red, of course) looking at the massive Goliath tanks pushing northward toward my Arm enemy (blue, naturally). The depth, both map terrain and the amount of units was jaw dropping. I’d be lying if I said that is what hooked me on TA though – the real grab came a bit later when we found we were able to make maps after the release of Total Annihilation: Core Contingency. The seemingly endless creative potential as much as the playability is what really struck me about TA and it has remained that way ever since.

How did Escalation come about and what were your initial goals for the project?

The road to Escalation was quite a long and winding one on my side. I started out making maps and was really into the TAMEC scene early on. My younger brother introduced me to 3rd party units and I was again smitten with the concept of realizing one’s own vision for the ideal game. Like anyone else, I started out patching together different units into a collection to fill out the game. It was fun, but they were not my units and many others were doing it better, especially Uberhack and Brave Sir Robin. I really started to cut my teeth into learning about modding with Uberhack along with running a community of like-minded players and would-be modders by participating there. NJ_Thug was also
