Total Annihilation: Kingdoms is a fantasy themed RTS from Cavedog Entertainment. It uses similar technology as the sci-fi RTS Total Annihilation, but is otherwise unrelated. You command one of four kingdoms, and fight a series of battles with magic, monsters, and medieval weaponry.
can confirm: 1920*1200 and 1680x1050 and the other 2 do not showup, cutscenes and menus are stretched
there are no single player anomilies i have come across
game is as the same as the demo with respect to everything else
hope i was a help
Do they show up in *Windows* for you? This is important; no game will let you use a resolution that your system doesn't support unless it runs in windowed mode. Therefore, if a resolution works for you in Windows but not in the game, it means that resolution is unsupported by the game. If a resolution doesn't work for you in Windows and doesn't work for you in the game, it means nothing.
cutscenes and menus are stretched
Can you post two comparison screenshots of cut-scenes?
i shall re install this game in the morning (as it is late over in aus) and will tell u if those other res's work.
game deserves to be certified after being built on one of the greatest rts's ever
edit: game doesnt support the 2 resolutions. i have them showing up in windows but not in the game.
edit2: that one shot i took of a cutscene.. is the same for both screenshots at diff aspect ratios (ie fixed ratio cutscenes and menus)
posting a second shot would be pointless and as my card black bars the side. it doesnt sho up as stretched.
Are you *positive* that the game doesn't work at those resolutions? That would be very strange, because the original TA does. Can you double-check that?
As for cut-scenes, it sounds to me like it uses FMVs that force your screen to run at a fixed resolution. If that's the case, then they won't be evaluated, because the correction is system dependant (that is, you can't say they stretch or pillarbox, because the game itself does neither).
==Grading==
Calculated grade: B+
Potential grade: Certified
Major unresolved issues:
Does the game support 1440x900 and 1920x1080?
just checked again neither v1, or v3 supports those 2 resolutions (unless there is a non native hack somewhere).
i can use these res's in windows but not in the game as they do not show up.
ive had a look around for ini files etc to change the res in and found nothing.
so i think u can close this one
