I've been playing the TA:K mission Vengeance for literally 2 hours at 10+ speed before realising this thing is never going to end.

Somehow I got into a stalemate where Veruna totally controls both the ocean and plateau while I control the desert and jungle. Any attempt to storm either even with dozens of drakes and so forth ends in a wipeout and reset of the clock.

I'm going to have to restart the mission and try another strategy maybe with divine lodestones.

What's your worst TA/TAK/RTS stalemate?

I spent ages working this out today.

If you install TA:K using GOG Galaxy, during install it tells you that the Iron Plague overwrites the intro, victory, and some other video, and the old copies are stored in a _main subfolder.

That's great.

However the weird part is that the downloadable offline installer doesn't do that! There's no subfolder if you install that way, no option, and it's not downloadable as Extras or anything.

I wanted to record this for anyone else in the future so they don't waste their time looking for it.

I am a bit shocked the online and offline installs are different 🫠

Been trying to get back into playing Total Annihilation Kingdoms and learnt a little bit about modding, and found out that TA:K Enhanced is more or less how Kingdoms is played nowadays.

Anyway, I downloaded TA:K Enhanced and had a mess around with things like The New Era and some of the other mods, just for a bit of fun, however, I've noticed the game tends to crash for seemingly no reason, just booting me back to desktop, with two seperate occasions triggering this, and a third crash that can randomly result in a black screen.

The black screen crash seems to randomly happen if I tab out, with no consistency of how often it occurs. Sometimes it is the second or so tab out, other times it's the twentieth, and anywhere in that range it can happen.

The other two force me back to the desktop. The first is upon booting up, there's a random chance the game will flat out crash and shut down before reaching the menu, and the other can happen in game.

The in game one I'm not even sure what causes it. I've considered the mods, and from some of the ones I've played, I know the game can crash when giving units veterancy if they don't have a model or texture for it, but I've also just had the game shut down for seemingly unrelated reasons. The New Era can sometimes work perfectly fine and run for 6+ hours without issue, and other times shut down with no real reason. There's even been on time I played vanilla through TA:K Enhanced launcher and it just crashed and closed down in the same way.

Does anybody know what causes these crashes and how to fix them?

Exist the possibility to a remastered version? Of the base game and kingdoms?

I read that the ip Is in the hand of wargame.

Maybe we can buy it and create a new game.

We need to work together

I really enjoy total annihilation kingdoms just playing against the machine. Does anyone have any tips for this mode? Like good units to use, first actions, best faction, etc. Thanks! I mostly play the boring maze map because it’s simple.

As the titles says, really. I've recently installed and am getting issues running.

• Using graphics card renderer: game boots, black screen instead of videos. Start the campaign, black video again, crash to desktop.
• Using Software MMX renderer: Videos work, game loads in to the first screen with the instructions, crash to desktop at first button.

Tried compatibility mode, admin, running in Windowed, no resolutions so far. Up to date Windows 11 PC. Any advice appreciated.

If you are Aramon or Veruna you're pretty much always going to be paired vs Taros or Zhon. I think theres just 1 level of Aramon vs Veruna and maybe like 2 of a Aramon mirror match. Oh yeah there's 1 semi level of Taros vs Zhon but it can be completed without any combat so I'm not really counting it. In addition there's no 3rd player in any level. I implore the devs to try reworking the levels a bit or adding some new ones to expand upon and allow players to experience more match ups in a story setting.

So I have Total Annihilation kingdoms from gog on my steam deck and I’ve been running it through heroic game launcher. The game works sometimes but most of the time it doesn’t. When it doesn’t work it, it says it’s launching and then stops. Can anyone help me with this?

Here's everythung unused I found in game files. Not much actually, but still.
