Release Information and Installation Instructions

Release Notes:
You may have noticed that this release is larger than normal from ORIGIN.
Well heres the reason why, you fucking whining babies :P
This game when ripped to the minimum comes to 80 * 2.88Mb files after
packing, you cannot rip anymore out. Thats it. Face reality fuckers.
Therefore we are requesting that no traders spread this release as its for
our ORIGIN sites only, as our users requested it. If you want it on a
local site, then request it and you may get lucky. We repeat our traders
will not spread this release to other sites so, do not bother to ask even!
But wait its over some gimpy limit we hear you cry? Well ORIGIN has no
limits. Although usually we do not go this high, there was such a demand
for this game we decided to release it for our users pleasure. This is
not for the casual end user, unless they specifically want it and people
can then get if they are lucky :P

Also you may have noticed we said 80 files, when this is in fact 71 files.
This is because we did actually try to get this down to a reasonable size.
So for the curious out there, here is what we did after we took it to 80
files:
Ok, heres some tech crap, firstly, if the .HPI files were left in their
native format with the ZLIB compression the game came to over 80 discs.
So the .HPI files were unpacked, decompressed, repacked and then aced
up saving around 9 discs. Absolutely nothing else could be ripped from
the game as the terrain JPEG's didn't compress at all well, but the rest
of the files did, so to get this game under the limit of 51 files we
would of had to remove 50 compressed meg of data, which meant either
removing the whole game and leaving the terrain texture JPEG's or reducing
the JPEG quality, thus reducing the games look, play and feel and maybe
even crash it beyond repair.

So you see ORIGIN did try to take this title down to a nice size, but
because this major game was so big, it was just not possible without it
being a RAPE ( meaning its an abused demo release ). Now of course there
are going to be some whiners about this release. But may we point
out that ORIGIN is not a member of any fucktion organisation, so we have
no file limit. And this release is for our sites only and not for general
scene release, unless sites specifically request it. And even then they
will have to get it themselves as we shall not be spreading it. And no you
cannot have access to our sites, unless you have something that we need at
this current time (see below for app details). So do not even bother to
ask us :P

Game Notes:
Massive armies will clash. Forests and cities will burn. Tremendous
magical forces will level entire fortresses in the blink of an eye.
Four completely unique races are vying for control of the mythical
world of Darien, each representing one of the four elements -- Earth
and Air, Fire and Water.

In Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, you'll take the role of one of the
four immortal monarch of these nations at war. You'll rally your
legions -- swordsmen, archers and knights on horseback under your
flag. Wizards, beasts and even flame-spewing demons will heed
your every command, waging war on an epic field of battle.

The game's stunning 3D terrain of forests, magic-laden ruins and
expansive oceans provide a landscape of war fraught with danger,
magic and ambush.
