Commonly abbreviated as TA:K or TAK, this Real-Time Strategy is the follow-up of the successful Total Annihilation made by the now-defunct company Cavedog Entertainment. The latter's setting, centered around mechs and vehicles and never showing humans, had been chosen partly because it had been thought that the much-admired 3D engine was not capable enough to depict them. Later, however, improvements made TA:K possible.TA:K has number of differences separate from its predecessor. Firstly, it is set in a magical-fantasy world called Darien rather than a Grimdark science fiction future; secondly it has four sides rather than just two(The expansion adding a fifth one); thirdly said sides' units were very divergent, rather than almost every Arm and Core unit having a direct other-side analogue as in Total Annihilation. TAK also introduced mana batteries and multiple selectable attacks.TA:K was not as successful as Total Annihilation, and parent company Cavedog shut down due to bankruptcy shortly after the release of its Expansion Pack, The Iron Plague. However, the game enjoys a strong fan community and its versatile engine led to many mods and new side additions - probably the best-known fan-created side is the Azurians.The Plot: All-powerful magician Garacaius conquers a fair portion of land and gains immortality. Of which he soon grows bored of (relatively speaking), and gives all of said lands and power to his children to rule over with artifacts and 'lodestones' that harvest mana and disappears. Needless to say, the siblings soon end up fighting over both. Drama Ensues when the Steampunk Creonites enter the fray and take the quest of wiping out all magic. Who turn out to be trainees of Garacaius who learned and taught science in his exile. Oops.It would have received an Spiritual Successor in Gas Powered Games' Kings and Castles, which unfortunately ended up in development hell and was cancelled. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The manual, that is, and also a lot of background information in the form of HTML files on the CD. Those who read it all were surprised (especially given the previous Total Annihilation's scant storyline) to find that the background of Darien was at least as well developed as Warcraft's Azeroth was at the time. This had the unfortunate effect of making the plot utterly incomprehensible to anyone who hadn't done the reading. One story in particular deals with a Verunan sailor who explored Zhon looking for a MacGuffin and managed to defeat three Jungle Orcs and a Shaman using only a sword; those who know those units' capabilities will immediately mark him out as a true Badass Normal. | |

Order Versus Chaos | |
| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_1a237409 | comment |
Order Versus Chaos: Aramon and Veruna being the Order. Taros and Zhon being the Chaos. The expansion turns this on its head, with Creon being the Order, and the rest of the four being the Chaos, in a classic science vs magic matchup. | |

Enemy Exchange Program: Possible for each side except Veruna and Creon. Aramon can have Elsin resurrect the corpses of enemy builders to build another side's units for them, while Taros and Zhon can directly mind-control enemy builders with their Mind Mages and Harpies. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: The four original sides each have a 'Sacred Dragon' super-unit which is rather disappointingly weak for its cost, build time and unique status. A more direct analogue of Total Annihilation's Krogoth was the god of each nation, which (after the 3.0 patch, formerly they had appeared randomly in multiplayer games) could only be built by the nation's monarch and took one hour to construct. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Veruna is the naval faction. While naval warfare is their specialty, being associated with Water after all, it doesn't detract from their land performance. Verunan units are generally cheap, quick to build and faster than Aramon's. They have a handful of powerful ranged units and fast moving raiders which can easily close in the gap with the enemy to overwhelm opponents. While hard-hitting, they don't last long in a straight up fight. Despite this setback, this makes them very good at gaining map control and applying constant pressure to defeat opponents. However, they do have the capability of building strong bases, befitting a naval faction that can fortify multiple positions as needed. They also have pathetic air power. Kirenna can swim. | |

After the End | |
| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: Technically the setting is this, with the 'End' being when the Kandrans' use of magic caused an apocalypse that, among other things, broke a continent in half to produce the later Aramon and Zhon. However, as it was more than 4000 years before the present day, there is little sign of it, except on some Zhon maps which feature the ruins of old Kandran buildings. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death is Cheap: It is possible to restore units to life from corpses, statues or ice figures, but only Elsin (the Aramonian monarch) can do it. Other factions can turn corpses into something living, but never resurrect the original: Dark Priests of Taros can convert corpses into Ghouls and Dark Hands convert them into Liches, Creon Chief Engineers can turn them into Automatons, and Zhon can use their Spirit Wolves to animate the fallen as Risen Wolves. Only Veruna, as usual, is left out of the party. | |

Elemental Powers: Garacaius's four children, the monarchs of the four original sides, embody the four classical elements. Respectively: Elsin of Aramon is Earth (or Stone); Kirenna of Veruna is Water; Lokken of Taros is Fire; Thirsha of Zhon is Air (or Wind). Aramon also has a secondary element, Light. Another four qualities quoted about them are Honour, Hope, Terror and Vengeance. Three guesses which two consist of the good guys and which two are the baddies. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Aramon is your classic medieval faction, with castles and knights from Western Europe. Veruna is very Greek/Mediterranean in the look of its terrain, the design of its ships, its architecture, some of its unit designs... Taros is like Feudal Japan set in Mordor, it has zombies, ghosts, with Warriors, Necromancers and Warlocks in Samurai and Shogun attire. | |

Enemy Mine: In The Iron Plague, the four monarchs and former enemies team up against the Creonite invasion. Also, arguably the original storyline if you know the backstory, given that it says that previously all four kingdoms fought each other, and only recently has a two-against-two mentality developed. It should be noted that Zhon and Taros are only allied because the other two 'good' nations are; they have no goals in common. | |

Nintendo Hard: An inexperienced player will be treated to an insane difficulty spike upon reaching chapter 5 of the original story. For a small village that is supposedly weak and vulnerable, the defending garrison is well dug in and able to respond with an astonishing amount of retaliatory force, forcing the player to slowly inch forward into the village by building lots of towers. | |

Fantasy Gun Control | |
| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_6bcfbc7e | comment |
Fantasy Gun Control: Averted. In fact, it becomes a plot point in the campaign. The video intro for the mission "The Ether's Fury" ends thusly- You then get a mission where, apart from occasionally holding a couple of easily defensible choke points to ensure the guns don't get flanked, you get to watch your cannons effortlessly slaughter a massive onrush of Tarosian troops. You don't even have to give the cannons any orders. Retconned with Iron Plague — it turns out Aramon bought the Gunpowder from Creon. It becomes a plot point for igniting the war with the Creonites. | |

Shooting Superman: Turn-to-stone spells do not work on Basilisks (which have the weapon themselves), Stone Giants (which are already made of stone) or zombies (because...they're...dead?). The Creonites' freeze weapon works on some units which "stoning" doesn't and vice versa; the main limitation of the freeze weapon is that it does not work on units with heavy metal armour for some reason. | |

Taros is the Magic faction. Their unit roster is an eclectic mix of specialists, suitable for specific tasks. What they lack in toughness, they make up for in powerful unit abilities. Their units can wipe out entire squads of enemies with a weather witch ice storm, for example. Their fire spouts can cloak, etc. Fire demons can provide outstanding long ranged firepower. They also have good air units. Their ghosts ships provide surprisingly good mobility and ghost ship drops are a thing in multiplayer. Befitting their fire element, their naval units aren't that great, and they don't have the best defenses. Lokken can turn invisible. | |

Artificial Stupidity: Lokken is very prone to this when being controlled by the AI. If a single enemy unit comes and attacks him, he stops what he's doing and unleashes his shockwave attack, destroying the enemy along with much of his own base. This does fit his canon Hot-Blooded / Bad Boss characterisation, but still. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The war on the second game started when the Cult of Lokken intercepted some ships used to carry the gold to pay Creon. Then a Veruna captain searched for the lost ships she assumed some Creonite ships were the ones who attacked the ships and engaged the fleet, this sparked the chain of events which result in the whole war. | |

| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_9c1f758a | comment |
Kill It with Fire: Lots of Tarosian units are attacking with fire, including their monarch. Aramonian mage archers have secondary attack "Tracking arrow" which apparently shoots arrows set on fire. Elsin's secondary attack "Meteor" might also count. As does Creon, namely the Fire Wagon, Neo Dragon, and their monarch. The Fire Wagon uses a normal flamethrower while the Neo Dragon and Mendalos The Sage uses something called the Blue Flame. All 4 dragons have the same primary attack - Fire breath | |

No Canon for the Wicked: Zig-zagged in a very strange way (and one not very popular with fans) — all the missions are canon, but unlike e.g. StarCraft where one campaign follows the next, instead the player plays a mission as Aramon, then one as Taros, and so on...including at least two cases where he first has to command one side and win a battle, then take over the other one and undo his previous victory. Ultimately, the campaign ends with the good guys victorious. | |

A Commander Is You | |
| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_c2c32a79 | comment |
A Commander Is You: Aramon is considered the most "balanced" out of the rest of the factions and the most newbie-friendly. Aramon boasts strong land armies, with some of the best siege and tower units in the game. Aramon tactics generally revolve around building an impregnable defense that could fend off any threat long before they could even get close while building a strong army in the background to crush the remainders with. Fitting of their association with Earth, they have a very strong ground force but somewhat lacking in navy and air power. Additionally, Aramon lacks fast and mobile units, making tactical positioning more of a priority, but leaves Aramon players vulnerable to rushing pressure and fast attacks. Aramon is the only faction with a secondary element, Light; in the campaign sigil cutscenes, Aramon has light coming from background, instead of their associated element. Elsin is the strongest Monarch out of the four in a straight up fight. Arguably The Protagonist faction. Veruna is the naval faction. While naval warfare is their specialty, being associated with Water after all, it doesn't detract from their land performance. Verunan units are generally cheap, quick to build and faster than Aramon's. They have a handful of powerful ranged units and fast moving raiders which can easily close in the gap with the enemy to overwhelm opponents. While hard-hitting, they don't last long in a straight up fight. Despite this setback, this makes them very good at gaining map control and applying constant pressure to defeat opponents. However, they do have the capability of building strong bases, befitting a naval faction that can fortify multiple positions as needed. They also have pathetic air power. Kirenna can swim. Taros is the Magic faction. Their unit roster is an eclectic mix of specialists, suitable for specific tasks. What they lack in toughness, they make up for in powerful unit abilities. Their units can wipe out entire squads of enemies with a weather witch ice storm, for example. Their fire spouts can cloak, etc. Fire demons can provide outstanding long ranged firepower. They also have good air units. Their ghosts ships provide surprisingly good mobility and ghost ship drops are a thing in multiplayer. Befitting their fire element, their naval units aren't that great, and they don't have the best defenses. Lokken can turn invisible. Zhon is the Guerrilla faction and the odd man out. They're the only faction that does not build bases. Instead, they can build their army on the fly via Mook Maker and only build structures for harvesting mana, defense, and healing. This allows them to easily gain ground rapidly and launch surprise attacks from anywhere since you never know exactly where they're building their army. Zhon is all about speed, mobility, and rushing opponents. Zhon's boasts a strong unit roster. Associated with the Wind, they have a formidable airforce. Thirsha is the only Monarch that can fly. Creon is all about Brute Force. They take the strengths of the other factions and turn them up a notch. Tough, often damaging machines of cold steel but rather slow. They're also far more resource dependent than the other factions due to their more expensive equipment. | |

The faction of Thirsha in particular sees themselves as the underdog, with Aramon and Veruna being arrogant jerk perfect siblings of Garacaius, favored by him. Sibling jealousy is a thing. In fact Lokken himself makes fun of Elsin and Kirenna for being the "good children still following the rules of the old man." Veruna gets overconfident when fighting Zhon, seeing them as only savage monsters to be wiped out with their gunpowder units. They then pay the price for their arrogance and have to get bailed out with Aramon's gold dragon. Played straight with Lokken, at least with the arrogant part, who says that he reached a "higher plane of consciousness" after he chides Elsin and Kirenna for having an affinity for their mortal subjects. | |

Kill It with Ice | |
| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_cb3adcb7 | comment |
Kill It with Ice: Aramon acolyte's "Hail Shower" attack, and Taros weather witch's "Ice Storm". Oddly, water based Veruna doesn't have any units using ice as means of fighting. Also a fairly common Creonite weapon. | |

Lightning Gun | |
| Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (Video Game) / int_d0447c7b | comment |
Lightning Gun: Used by Creonite construction units and their Shock Troopers, who wouldn't look that out of place in Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Lightning is also used as a weapon by some of the other sides, but there it's magical in origin. The Taros advanced defense tower is a guy with a lightning-shooting trident standing on top of a padoga. | |

Taken for Granite: The Basilisk, the Acolyte's Turn To Stone spell, and the freeze weapons of the Creonites do something similar except that the target ends up as an ice statue. | |

Cain and Abel: The war is between the alliances of Elsin and Kirenna, the good siblings, and Lokken and Thirsha, the evil siblings. The war starts in earnest when Lokken sends his undead/demon army to attack Elsin. Implied that Lokken was jealous of Elsin getting the fairest lands; his troops comment on how nice the land is, and how self-righteous Aramonians are. | |
