I'd name it 'forgotten conflict' because that's just what TA now is - forgotten, or forsaken, or whatever. Or, if you want a longer, and more definitive name, let's have a "Forgotten Conflict: Rise of the Machines".

Or, let's say - "Immortality: A War Eternal"
We could bind it to a storyline:
"In the past, people invented Immortality. They encased themselves in bodies of steel, living forever long, fearing no disase, no disaster, not even death itself. The steel people named themselves the Eternity Core and spread the knowledge among their kindred. Some were eager to accept the gift of endless life. And some were reluctant to give their own lives away, existing forever in a body of soulless steel. They called themselves the Shielding Arm, and strived to protect their followers from the attacks of Core machines. Using the knowledge of the Core, the people of Arm created machines that would replicate their finest warriors into an army that would uphold the Arm's military effort. Thus began a war eternal, an unending battle of Immortality."
Hmm... sounds a bit like TA's storyline, but only a bit. Could do fine, I'd say... any opinions?

This was the name & logo for the old multiplayer service we (me and Yeha) was working on a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

I also like the sound of Metal Orchestra, but it sounds a bit corny.
I'll make a worthwhile post after some time to think.
Also, can it have KBoT or some TA name in it like Central Conciousness?
Or will it have to have no reference to ANYTHING?!?!?!?!?!

I thought of a name you may liked to call it.

Total Annihilation: New Grounds

Perhaps something like "The Aardvark - Spring" which can be conveniently shortened to something familiar. While it is probably a good idea to avoid using the name Total Annihilation, the letters TA can hardly be illegal to use.. Otherwise I would imagine Chris Taylor being in trouble for calling his next game SC. :)

Something with just Spring sounds ok too though imo.

Whoever the guest was that posted 'The Consciousness War' might have something.

How about:

The War of Transgression

(with the large font for added effect)


EDIT: I just read the suggestion for Steel Orchestra for the first time - that is also totally uber awesome in my book

I like "Spring" as well
I always call my projects the first name I come up with.
(at least you won't have to change the site this way)

"Fullständig utplåning" should it be.

Total Annihilation in czech is "Totální anihilace", it isn't much different :)
I vote for the "Spring" name, it sounds great.

i like the idea of using spring as a prefix.

How about:

Spring: The Pattern Conflict


Or

Spring: Steel Orchestra

+1 for Fnordia's suggestion. People are pretty used to calling it TA Spring, but TA can stand for something other than Total Annihliation for legal purposes.

Good names so far. Just wanted to add that, I added a screenshot of the current progress on the client. Now you can see why I'd like icons :)

I'm a fan of the suggestions that don't contain references to either Total annihilation or the thin plot associated with it. We can name the game based on the engine something that has to do with that (that avoids legal issues), if we want, but the engine name should suggest what it is, the ultimate RTS engine.
