TA Game Total Conversions
Total conversions that convert Total Annihilation to other games - and not just other computer games, either.

indicates that the mod appears in TA:Mutation compatible format.

Command & Conquer TA

C&C TA is a total conversion of that hallowed old Westwood Entertainment franchise, Command & Conquer (now well and truly absorbed by EA Games). C&C was the first in a long line of Command & Conquer and Red Alert RTS titles put out by that now defunct developer ( a sad loss, too). I think this is different to the C&C Red Alert TC, found below. C&C TA is closed during beta (no version number), hasn't seen any updates since 2000, and hasn't been balanced for regular TA play.

TA: Command & Conquer
Red Alert

A Command and Conquer: Red Alert (CCRA) total conversion, replacing Arm and Core. There's not that many units, but you get both basic and advanced units for the Soviets and NATO and a few extra big custom weapons. This mod seems very simplistic after the wealth of options the regular TA game offers. This is more to do with the original Red Alert design philosophy which is really quite primitive these days. A good bit of modding this, despite some simplistic (or non-) textured models which reminded me of the original game in the age when VGA graphics were cutting edge... Unfortunately the originating site, TABDD, has long since vanished off the face of the earth, and there's hardly any references to it anywhere on the Web. So, here's the original file I downloaded off that long lost site many moons ago: curious Command & Conquer fans might find it interesting.

Dune TA is a total conversion of that old Westwood PC game, Dune2. Dune2 is one of the earliest examples of the "modern" RTS game. This is an old TC that is no longer being supported and comes with its own small custom data structure, so make sure you have a pristine installation of TA before you start and expect a bit of fiddling to get it going. Current version: 1.0.

TA Mech Wars

A Battletech total conversion (although classic Battletech seems to be Mech Warrior these days). Madcats and Thors and more for Total Annihilation! After what looked like a cancellation, this stirred back into life. Its also mirrored at DesignX. Current version: 1.02.

Warhammer 40,000 TA

A total conversion based on the Game Workshop's series of obsessive figurine armies and tabletop dioramas. Warhammer 40,000 is set in a fantasy universe of the 41st Millennium. Space Marines, Imperial Troopers, the Eldar, and Space Orks duke it out in a never ending galactic war. These games have trillions of figurine units to play with, and slot in naturally with Total Annihilation's modular game engine. At present, this mod comes in two parts: the original Blister Pack and an Assault Pack with extra units. The units themselves are small at this stage (presumably more spectacular and exotic monsters are yet to come, if the figurines are anything to go by) and looks like its designed for the single player in mind. Many of the small infantry units wield extremely high-speed, high fire-rate machine guns that make the laggy EMG weapons in the normal TA game seem quite tame by comparison. The flying infantry are cute, and seem suitably balanced. Production on this is slow.
