Story / Background In the distant future, the galaxy is ruled by a central body of humans and artificial intelligences called the Core (a contraction of "Consciousness Repository"). For each side, the only acceptable outcome is the complete elimination of the other. Both sides now crippled beyond repair, the remnants of their armies continue to battle on ravaged planets, their hatred fuelled by over four thousand years of total war. The Core and the Arm have all but exhausted the resources of a galaxy in their struggle for domination. It has payed off a few times with awesome wonderful 100+ units battling it out.What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machines escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds. I used to sometimes try and setup and neogotiate an army on army TA battle at MSN Zone with build time, when the battle starts and what part of the map the battle takes place.
Most players will argue that they prefer army to army battles like braveheart and Battle of Bosworth to see both armies clash rather then a "Swarm of bees against a monarch". One of the most frustrating things ever about monarch\commander assasination is when you spent say 10-20 minutes expanding and building up a powerful army and then all of a sudden that time has gone down the drain because not only was your anti air forces unable to stop the mass wave of dragons\wisps or level 2 bombers but it just cheaply specificlly targeted and killed your monarch or commander and the game was over without even one of your warriors sinking its sword into tarosian flesh. The cheapness of the 3rd "power wave" spell (especially with thirsha) also provokes monarchĪssination, for example if an enemy monarch comes close to your base and destroys a builder or a large group of well prepared mana consumed tier 1 melee, you really are pissed off and want to nail that bast***. I remember I had a few hectic\frustrating games on Boneyards where you played on a small\medium cavedog maps, and because competition for spreaded out mana was fiece in the early stages, quite frequently monarch battles would break out and each monarch would launch spells at each other and enemy troops insanely pursued your monarch becoming cat and mouse games. Monarch assination is quite essential in some circumstances. TAU Wisdom - Where great posts go to die. Such a game is not competitive and is not worth playing. I would hate nothing more than an honour system where both players agreed before the game to attack all the defences and units around a monarch (while he regains his personal mana for the next spell) before finally killing him. Protect your monarch properly and you have nothing to worry about. It is not entirely innaccurate to say that assassinations have their flaws, but I see no problem with it. I like that about the game it makes TAK more personal. In nearly all cases, a dead monarch will exactly equate to military defeat anyway, so why should both of you sit bored as you have to mop up afterwards? Another point I like is that the monarch is like a first person figure. There are no such booms in TAK so it is a fine style of game.īut I think the alternative is better.

In TA, with the stupidity of the commander's huge explosion, game continues is not a realistic option, because it really becomes a case of both sides getting a free nuke. In a game where both sides have a well defended game in a 1v1 between Taros and Creon, for example, it seems grossly unfair that the Taros player can use a flock of Sky Knights to kill the Sage easily, but a cloaked Lokken is basically invulnerable.
Another point is that some monarchs are much easier to kill than others. With ends, assassination of the better player may win you the game on occasion. With game continues, the winner is the one who achieves a military defeat. I think the reason most people dislike it is that it is a little random.
