Zoals de headline zegt "Patch 3.0 voor Total Annihilation Kingdoms is uit". Jammer dat de opvolgers van de Total serie in de ijskast staan.
Cavedog heeft met deze patch duidelijk naar de gebruikers (waaronder ik) geluisterd en de patch bevat een aantal goede fixes. Nu alleen nog kijken of die werkt.

- During intense battles, Kingdoms can now automatically adjust the level of shadow detail and animation updating to maintain a responsive frame rate
- Kingdoms RAM footprint has been reduced by 24MB Kingdoms should now run effectively on a P200 with 32MB of RAM (64MB is highly recommended)
- New option to control unit/shadow scaling quality in hardware modes in available
- A registry control has been added to allow players to change the level of unit animation updating
