Many people are coming off with a bad impression of TA:K. Yes, the game did seem unfinished at its initial release, but the online TA:K community more than makes up for it. You can get the units to make up for what the game initially lacked, and the player-made units are a lot of fun. There are even entire races that can be incorporated into the game.

Of course, if you're looking to buy TA:K, you should probably get Iron Plague while you're at it, and be sure to pick up as many Net add-ons as you can, since those are what really give the game the boost it needed.

In addition, the Multiplayer is fun, since you can go on the Internet and buddy up with another person. It's highly addictive to play with others, so if you get it, be sure to log on to the Boneyards.

There is no reason why you shouldn't buy this game for only 4 bucks, even $10 is not to expensive. The buildings and creatures you can create are extra ordinary. By that I mean, awsome! You can build dragons, trolls, mage towers, warships, you name it! It runs on XP too. You can play the adventure where each level has a different map and battle senario. Or, just play a game against the computer where you chose the map, population limit, and which of the four empires you want to fight with. It's still fun after monthes of gaming.

Pros: Imaginetive creatures. Great maps. A large viriety of buildings and creatures. And basically everything.

Cons: Takes alot of RAM. Internet play is hard to set up.

Bottom line: I give it 9.5 out of 10, go get it!

Total Annihilation Kingdoms is probably one of my favourite games. the vast amount of units and levels keeps me occupied for hours. sometimes i would get bored of the game for a couple of weeks but then i would get hooked again.the only flaws in the game in my oppinion would be that it is slightly easy, and the fact that u can only build 2oo units,max and only 1 dragon (not counting the dragons u convert). overall i think its a great game and any true lover of strategy and tactics should own this game.
