Cave Dog changed the genre of RTS forever when they introduced the hit game "Total Annihilation" in 1997 and two years later they tried again with the release of a sequel of sorts, "Total Annihilation : Kingdoms". While it is a "sequel" it also not in many aspects. It does use the same game play and engine as the original Total Annihilation however, it does not stick with the same theme, gone are the futuristic locations and awesome robots and in their place are fantasy magic and monsters; and while this might not bother some it definitely did not resonate with the core audience of the original and as such was one of the many attributing factors to Cave Dog's ultimate demise as a company. That said though, Kingdoms is a good game with less than amazing sound effects and certainly a more bland sound track than the original Total Annihilation. It however is still just as compelling to play as the original thanks to the awesome mechanics from the original that were (for the most part) left unmolested in this game. It does not seem to be as well balanced and in many ways feels like a cheap mod but if you enjoyed Total Annihilation then this might be worth looking at for you.Read full review

TA: Kingdoms is the sequel to a near-perfect game. This game, however, is not quite comparable to the first. Kingdoms utilizes a better story, more playable forces (Aramon, Veruna, Taros, and Zhon), slightly improved graphics, and decent cutscenes. Where the game fails to compare to the original is in the gameplay, online play, music, and the equality of forces. Although each force is good and has great strengths, Arm and Core were much more equal which provides for more interesting and heated battles. Total Annihilation also had more interesting and challenging units and buildings. Kingdoms is a good game and well worth your time and money though, if you havent already, I would recommend playing Total Annihilation instead.
Total annihialation: Kingdoms is one of my favorite games. I love the ease of the gameplay and the graphics where not bad for the day and it comes with a pretty versatile and easy to use map editor. It was the last game to be made by the cavedog guys so there was no Kingdoms 2 made. There was an expansion pack made for ir called the iron plague but it is hard to find. I have it but have not played it yet. Id recomend this game to anyone who wants to try something different.
I bought it as a gift. His mom says he loves playing it. Plays it for hours with his friends. Don`t know what else to say. If the people like it what else do you want to know. These reviews stink if you are forced to write them. Either it is liked and not much can be said if purchased as a gift. If he didn`t like it I would write lots of remarks but he is happy.
