TA: Kingdoms FAQ - Cavedog Entertainment

Q. Is it just like Total Annihilation except with a fantasy setting?
A. No. We took the Total Annihilation engine and pumped it up from every possible angle. So now you'll see dramatic 3D environments in 16-bit color that pushes up the amount of detail in every map, unit and landscape. There will also be a 3-magnification zoom feature and a switchable radar/map view, with many, many other enhancements.

Q. What kind of units will be in the game?
A. Fantastic units like none ever before seen. Skeleton archers, dragon-riding knights, god-like deities, bonus and hero units -- a massive clash of the titans right before your very eyes. It's simply the greatest fantasy real-time strategy game ever.

Q. Will there be downloadable units?
A. Of course -- after all, this is Cavedog Entertainment! Starting shortly after the game's release, players will be able to download and take advantage of battle-ready units, maps and other extensions.

Q. What are the four sides?
A. There are four races in Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, each led by an immortal monarch bent on ruling the mythical land of Darien. The four races each represent the four primary forces of air, earth, fire and water.

ZHON (air): With the wind at their backs and the fearsome beasts of their homeland at their command, the tribes of this nation bring doom upon all outsiders.
ARAMON (earth): Knights and archers, castles and powerful weapons of war -- the men of Aramon are the acknowledged masters of the physical world.
TAROS (fire): Seeking power above all, the wizards of fire command the creatures of Hell, set loose the dead and unleash destruction upon the world.
VERUNA (water): At home among the seas and oceans, the people of this island nation have seen the world from shore to shore. They can open distant lands to trade...or choke them off.

Q. Will there be multiplayer capabilities?
A. Of course! We are currently working with a variety of online gaming sites to host Total Annihilation: Kingdoms. Keep checking www.cavedog.com for a list of sites as they become available.
