EXCELLENT DOWNLOAD! Works perfectly fine in:
WinXP
Linux(under WINE)
Tested:
Multiplayer (after opening ports)
Single Player
Campaigns
although id like to know how to add units to the pack. TA is making a comeback! :D

killshay (2009-08-10)

Edit: I figured out how to add units. Just drop into the TA folder. Easy as pie. And I had to open ports due to my router in case anyone was wondering

konevath (2009-08-19)

Thanks alot, gotta love TA!

StonerMk2 (2009-10-20)

Great job! Works like a charm. Now the question is will this work with TA:Mutation as well as 3rd party mods. Such as Total Mayhem Beta 0.4?

Mirddes (2009-10-24)

@StonerMk2
i dont think so.
i have found that mods either expect the post 3.1 units to not be intergrated, which i did because at the time i wasnt interested in mods. (rather simple to fix, does require recreating from scratch though)
or, worst case, dont handle any repacking, which is pretty fail.
i have found that when they expect the post 3.1 units to be in a seperate file, which is all it would take, they end up having double ups of those units instead of 6 other units.
will post a list of mods ive tried at a later point in time.

This torrent crashes under wine when I play against 9 computers about 10 minutes into the game. any way to fix this?

Shaggy02 (2010-01-02)

kabstar (2010-05-25)

Hi there thanks for uploading.. but I am having troubles. The game flickers and glitches then eventually crashs. This is what the comes up in Error Log :
TotalA caused an Access Violation in
module TotalA.exe at 001b:004b0bc1.
Exception handler called in Main Thread. Time: Tue May 25 10:48:56 2010
C:\Program Files\TA\TotalA.exe, run by Kab on KAB-PC
Executable is 1178624 bytes long and dated 5/25/2010 01:43:42

Mirddes (2010-05-26)

ive found that TA runs best under NT5.2 and earlier.
under NT6.x flashing and colour inversion are more common.
im not sure if the flicking/flashing can be completely avoided/fixed and the best bet is to use application compatibility settings.
as for colour inversion, adjusting the gamma slider without saving settings (works either way) (located under TAB/options/visuals) will fix colours.
@kabstar what OS are your using?

KennyT (2010-06-20)

Anyone who likes this game can support the creaters by buying it from stardocks impulse store at.

Its only 10 bucks and this game is so good you owe it to the people who made it to actually buy it

idleloss (2010-10-13)

has anyone figured out how to make music play? or is it not included in this torrent

JayDeeCW (2010-10-27)

Hey, great upload. :) I can't figure out how to play Core Contingency with it though. I run the .exe file, but it doesn't look like CC at all and there aren't CC units or missions. Any ideas?

JayDeeCW (2010-10-27)

Nevermind, I'm stupid! :D

grant523 (2010-10-28)

i dont get how to open core contingency or battle tactics theres no .exe

Mirddes (2010-11-04)

@grant523
Core Contingency adds missions, units and multiplayer maps. all the content is available from the in-game menu when selecting campaigns.

Mirddes (2010-11-04)

Music is not included in the torrent.
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/3407216
with a reseed this will be the best torrent for the soundtrack.

Mirddes (2010-11-04)

-Hiemokia -
The totala.exe file has to be augmented to redirect the sound cues from the cd to the hard drive... Apparently no one really cared to change it like the Max. Unit Limit... Until a month ago!! On TAUniverse someone posted the .exe that will play the sound and cue it just like the game should... Only problem is it has a Unit Limit of 250... Theres an old patch that will write a new totala.exe with a 500 Limit but the 5000 Unit patches seem to supply you with the cracked .exe instead of a new patch... You might try mounting the .iso in Daemon Tools to play a game "with" the cd, thus redirecting the cd cues outside the totala.exe through the cd emulator...
Hope this helps... Merry Christmas All!!!

WINDOWS 7/Vista-
To those who are having difficulty with graphics artifacts or color anomolies (the LSD effect) here's a neat little trick to get these old games going on modern machines:
1-run the program (assuming it runs and doesn't crash immediately after startup)***
[***-if the game crashes on startup try running it in Windows XP SP2 compatibility through launcher properties. I've noticed it doesn't seem to run well on all the others, especially the NT line.]
2-Even though the color artifacts are present, as long as the program is running, press Alt + Tab to minimize the program.
3-open up Windows Task Manager.
4-Under Processes, select the Explorer.exe image and click End Task.***
***-All windows along with the taskbar will shut down. These can be easily opened later
5-DO NOT CLOSE TASK MANAGER. Press Alt + Tab to maximize the program or click the maximize button on the TA window frame that should now be located on the desktop.
6-All artifacts and color anomolies should be gone. Enjoy! Keep reading to get back where you started.
7-After playing and therefore exited out of the program, select the applications tab on the Task Manager and click the New Task button to reopen your windows and taskbar. A window will open up and type in 'explorer' or 'explorer.exe'. Everything should be back to its original state.
This little trick works well for nearly any older game of this era. ex. TA, Starcraft, Diablo 1, C&C Red Alert, etc. This trick usually doesn't fix crashes, for instance, if you want to get Star Wars KOTOR going, go out and buy an xbox

Mottahko (2011-01-27)

After running the .exe it reconfigured my audio driver and my media players won't work, anyone else have this problem?

GeniX (2011-03-19)

Works like a charm on Windows 7 x64.
Thanks for seeding this, oldschool but great gameplay !

Mirddes (2011-05-02)

This torrent is now obsolete.
Ive released a new and improved Total Annihilation torrent.
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/6360840
Contains Built-in music and Line Building.
the only draw back is a unit cap of 1500 vs 5000.
most people play online with 1500.

huggeyface (2011-08-20)

Thanks! Works perfectly :)

DelphiUniverse (2011-10-21)

I just made a torrent with the full game, all expansion packs, custom installer that I have coded myself. Includes all 4 major mods (Twilight, Escalation, Mayhem and Switeck). Comes with 780 extra maps, music files, choose max unit limit in the installer options. You can also install a queue patch which I have coded, it will allow you to queue 1, 5, 100 or 1000 units at the time. Download here:

gamerz10 (2012-03-12)

You said this is compatible with all 3rd part mods. I get error every time I try to install. I followed the instructions that the 3rd party mod builder gave and error. Can you give me a walkthrough?

Farsco (2012-06-21)

Great game, but I absolutely hate the AI in skirmish because of the nuking and massive long range cannon buildup. If it bugs you as well you can download new AI's from certain websites or you can edit them yourself, like I'm doing. There's nothing like designing/editing an AI yourself to complement your playing style. It's not hard to do, but it does take some general knowledge which is available through many active Total Annihilation sites. It may take a little research, but it's easy. :)
There is a "new" 4.0 Beta patch here:

It will update with any new version that comes out. There are plenty or additions and fixes worth looking into.
GL and HF. It's well worth your time if you're into classic RTS games.
