Beyond All Reason (Total Annihilation)

I'm currently downloading this now. It looks promising, YouTube videos favour it. Totally open source and free. So if you like RTS this should be right up your alley. Especially if you loved that golden oldy Total Annihilation.

Beyond All Reason ★ RTS

Nice one. Let me know what you think. I just tried it now, looks very promising. However, bare in mind it's still in Alpha stage. Although that's the case it's still very playable.

It says my graphics card is unsupported and the game won't work properly but it works just fine. Looks great to me, RTS games don't need flashy graphics anyway IMO.

The AI kicked my arse in no time at all. Although the basic setup is the same as TA getting priorities right for resources/units/defences will take some practice.

Thanks for costing me another 1,000 hours of my life btw.

Yeah. It says my graphics card isn't supported to, but it works just fine.

Your very welcome, regarding costing another 1000 hours of you life. I hope you enjoy. LOL!

OK so I downloaded it all and tried it out. Ohhhh it's actually rather good. Not bad at all for something that's free. I can see online games being fun too.

Wow, quite the love letter to Total Annihilation. It's more TA than Supreme Commander or Planetary Annihilation ever dared to be.
