Total Annihilation: Kingdoms is set on the medieval world of Darien, a mystic world previously ruled by the Kandrian, a civilization with incredible mastery of magic, but that quickly came to its downfall due to internal power struggles. This mode of the game also enables scripting (mission-type games in multiplayer) to be played. Up to 8 players can play together at a time either on teams or against one another. TAK can be played online through Game Ranger. Up to eight players can be in a game, either human players or game AIs.Īdditional units were created and freely released by Cavedog after the game was released, as well as additional maps and scenarios. They can also choose whether to end the game after their opponent's monarchs is killed, or to keep playing until all of their enemy's units and unit producing structures are destroyed. Players can choose between the original game balancing or the "Crusades" balancing, which was added in after feedback from online play, it allowing defensive structures to do more damage against most tier 1 units to prevent rushes.
Players must seek out lodestones to build mana tapping structures on, getting the renewing energy to build structures and units with.
Although the game is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the original Total Annihilation, comparisons between the two games are inevitable. Total Annihilation: Kingdoms is the second installment of the Total Annihilation franchise. However, like in Total Annihilation, players can recycle debris/carcasses of fallen units and structures as well as natural objects of the map, like trees and stones, to acquire instant amounts of mana.Ĭomparison to Total Annihilation Unlike Total Annihilation, players utilize a single resource (Mana), which can be generated and increased by building resource-gathering Lodestones in special locations. While in single-player mode, victory is accomplished by following each scenario's objectives, multiplayer mode offers victory by the destruction of all the faction's units and structures or simply the monarch alone. The monarch itself also possesses an array of spells which it can use to defend itself or turn the tide of the battle. Players choose between four factions - Aramon, Veruna, Taros and Zhon (As well as Creon, in the Iron Plague expansion), all of which start with a monarch, who is initially used to build structures and form an army.
