There was a unit on TAcalled a vulcan or something, which was like a big bertha that fired about 6 times a second. Love that.

There's a modified map for springRTS/TAspring where there's 16 islands and each person just builds up their economy + shield domes and spams vulcans at each other.
The vulcans are modified to shoot faster and are much smaller.

It involves more tactic than you'd think, because as soon as your shield gets hit, you lose energy, if you also start to fire at the same time, you lose energy even faster.

Needs about 10 fusion reactors just to power it though

Lol never thought id see a post about TA again, If anyone was a serious player online then they my have heard of a clan i was in The V.Alliance of which some members were game developers. Used to play 10 hours plus a night with these guys who were

V.Siagon
V.Toxic
v.Babe

and me v.Zulu

Still played a modded version by Woton called TA:Escalation, still quite hard takes around 4 to 6 hours to win a skirmish.If u skill like TA try this version out

Definitely remember Siagon. Assume you used to play the neo, TAG and gungs clans a bit?

OldComputerGuy7 · 1 Aug 2009 at 18:08

Must try that out remember playing TA on my home lan with my mates and it was great fun, i have also played a bit of spring which i thought was better than Supcom.

If anyone hasn't tried TA Spring then I recommend it immensely. I find it much more fun and challenging than SC.

Bubo · 23 Jan 2016 at 21:28

I LOVED this game as a kid. There used to be a strong modding community, no? I had some crazy bots, half the size of the screen!

It really is a classic. Never really got into the fantasy version they did. Didn't seem to have the same support etc..

I loved TA back in the day but once i played Supreme Commander i just can't go back to TA
