Learn how to capture enemy buildings and units in Total Annihilation, including underwater ships and the capture button.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Set your Commander to 'Hold Fire' or 'Return Fire' to prevent them from attacking the target building or unit.
  2. 2
    Open the Orders screen and click the Capture button.
  3. 3
    Click on the enemy building or unit you wish to capture.
  4. 4
    Wait for your Commander to complete the capture process.
Tips
  • Accompany your Commander with another construction unit to heal them, as enemy units may attack your Commander during the capture attempt.
  • You cannot capture the enemy Commander.
  • Your Commander can capture ships while underwater, provided the ship cannot retaliate (e.g., lacks depth charges/torpedos).
