6. What are the minimum requirements to run TA:K? | [Back to the FAQ]
In a nutshell, Total Annihilation: Kingdoms requires a Pentium 233 running Windows95/98 with 32 MB of RAM. However, there are very large maps multiplayer included in the game that require 64 Mb of RAM. There is a feature where you can tell a multiplayer game to limit the number of units that can be built, which should make it playable on some slower machines. This feature also adds a very interesting strategy to the game. Try playing with a limit of 20 units/side! The game becomes much more strategic and you really have to think! You will also need: 4X speed CD-ROM 80 MB Hard Disk Space Windows 95 or 98 DirectX 6.1 compatible machine with the drivers (included on the disk) installed SVGA Video card Mouse and Sound card. You can play without a sound card, via a download of a patch and some tweaking.
