You&#8217;re to expand over several star systems to collect resources and create vast armies to annihilate planets to ultimately win the war. There&#8217;s a multiplayer skirmish system planned where you can play against a friend or team-up against the AI but you can also play single player against the AI.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t play Total\u00a0Annihilation.
