Some of the levels for this game was brilliant. Besides, the process of writing one is arcane and not very well understood. Like you suggest, the units and buildings did each have an individual script, but I don't think it's quite the same as what you're asking for, as it was only accessible by editing the data files. A construction unit on patrol would focus on repairing other units, unless you were very low on metal or energy, in which case it would instead try to recover the metal or energy left over in wreckage or rocks or trees or whatever is available. If a defensive battery was fired upon, it could back-calculate the trajectory and return fire automatically, even if the enemy was outside of visual range (provided it was within firing range, obviously). For example, Solar Collectors would automatically close their panels to prevent damage if an enemy started firing on them. They had no concept of formation or cover, unfortunately, but flying units damaged on patrol would at least seek out a repair pad to fix themselved before returning to their patrol routes.Ī lot of the 'intelligence' had to do with giving them simple automatic behaviors that would've required intense micromanagement for a player to do. They weren't foolproof, but you could set their movement style to roam, put them on patrol, and they would happily cruise around the map obliterating anything they could find.
Situation: 1 small local scavenger faction, no contact with larger advanced faction, nearest city 300km, recon team on rout.Ĭonstruction vehicles and supplies have been moved out of the Caucuses Mountains to establish a base near an oil rich area to help accelerate our mission.The units in Total Annihilation were pretty smart on their own. Our Western “Ally” has reported similar findings. Scavengers have now aggressively started attacking our outposts.
Our current priority is to locate former military sites that may still have very valuable information for our technological advancement, as hostilities between the different factions are getting worse by the day, it is imperative we do not only catch-up technologically but overtake them, or all is lost.Ĭommunication intercepts: multiple reports of cyborg technology, indiscriminate extermination of anyone in “their” path, inhuman tactics and general order of expansion of some factions, the word or name NEXUS is mentioned multiple times from multiple communication intercepts. While other groups fought each other, we stayed hidden, slowly accumulating supplies, machinery and resources, we had intercepted communications with multiple reports of some groups being technologically advanced and very well equipped, we could only hope they had the same intentions as us.Ģ089, We have established communications with a like-minded Western European faction, talks of an alliance have been going on for some time now but no official meeting yet, all travel routes have become too dangerous, a decision has been made to liberate all trade routes and bring peace and order to the lands between Eastern and Western Europe.įirst our task is to strengthen our 3 main outpost, once control and order has been achieved in our regions we can then mount a strike force to break through to our new potential allies. With some forms of communications restored, news came of the situation around the world, it was clear it wasn’t just us, the whole wold suffered equally, no country was left untouched, but what most ignored we took very seriously, the drones! Same stories from around the world of the vanishing drones, on the same day all around the world. In the coming years humans being human began to conflict again, some scavenger groups were much more aggressive than others and stopped at nothing to gain land, supplies and slaves. In the spring of 2070 things changed, for reasons then unknown the drones simply vanished, most rejoiced while some remained skeptical, slowly new communities and small local governments were formed, the future was looking promising, many radioactive zones were becoming habitable again. In the following decades, those whom survived the strike, scavenged and fought to stay alive, on the surface we hunted the slowly re-surging wild life, while being hunted ourselves, armed drone patrolled and killed anything that moved, where they came from and who sent them no one knew. In the year 2047 the human race came to near extinction, it was completely unexpected as superpowers simultaneously launched an extermination level nuclear strike, not at each other but at themselves, billions died in a matter of minutes. This was a personal project just something i was playing around with, so decided to make it public for whom ever is tired of those blocky strange looking vehicles.
