    After dusting off my copy of Total Annihilation (one of the greatest RTS genres of all time), I decided to Google units to make the game more interesting and challenging, which led me to the following website:

    RTSC Total Annihilation: Mods & Total Conversions
    Note: Sometimes certain links do not work so Google what you desire and find it on a different website.

    I ended up downloading the "The Total Annihilation Aerial Assault Force" and I'm having a blast with it so far. The end-game air units are incredibly powerful with massive health pools. I'll be grabbing one pack at a time so I can get used to every unit.

    If you're interested in resurrecting a classic RTS, give these unit packs/mods a try - it's almost like a brand new game.

    God damn TA is a fantastic game! I much preferred it to C&C. I'm gonna dust my copy off. Funnily enough I stumbled across it when I cleared out some rubbish other week!

    Great links!!

    Just finished a 3 hour long game :p

    The air battles were soooo entertaining. I sent about 8-10 tier 1 units to patrol/guard my anti-ground turrets. AI ended up sending 2 end-game air units to my base and it was an all-out air battle for 2-3 minutes ...really fun to watch. These new air units rock!

    My God, absolutely loved TA. Lost many an hour to the multiplayer. I dabbled a fair bit with mod's and new units. Anyone use the ice cream vans? :D

    No idea where the CD is now... Got heavily into Supreme Commander, sort of forgot about TA I guess. What a game... Still the best RTS IMO.
