Get Spring Downloader, and start playing Now!
Complete Annihilation is a game for the Spring RTS engine. It has a sizable and active playerbase, while still being under intense development, with updates every day. CA is based on several other modifications of Total Annihilation content (with the eventual goal of replacing it with original content, one piece at a time). CA aims to be a dynamic, action-packed, deeply strategic game, full of clever tactics and constantly moving combat.
