Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Your life up until now has been nothing but a flickering shadow, a fleeting memory of a life long past. While searching for answers to your heritage, you stumble across a hidden family heirloom - a marvelous, golden disk embedded with gems. The amulet is attached to a chain that is obviously meant to be worn around your neck. As you slip it over your head, there is a sudden brilliant flash of light.

Flooded with an overwhelming sense of peace, you are transported back in time to the mystical world of Khaldun. You are not the man you once were. Awakened with memories of eons past and a newfound destiny to fulfill, you realize who you have become - you are the immortal Kohan.

Once the ruling power of the world, the Kohan is a lost civilization destroyed by massive cataclysms. Their immortal nature prevents them from an eternal death, allowing them to resurface.

Reborn and reawakened in a strange new world, you must now come to terms with your current destiny as you search for clues to solve the riddle to your race's destruction and return the Kohan to its rightful glory.

This review is from: Kohan Immortal Sovereigns (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

This game is one of the few Real Time Strategy Games which don't go by the simple strategy of get goods, build lots of troops, overwhelm your opponent.

Why? Because different combinations of goods produced by your cities allow for a player to build different combinations of troops, and certain troops overwhelm other more expensive troops. It is also one of the few games where placement, terrain, and fog of war all come in to play. you can send in a fairly weak troop to bring out his strong troop to get you, only to ambush him with bows or crossbows sitting in the trees out of his line of sight, thus decimating him while spending little on what took him much to build. From there you take his city and must start worrying how to defend 2 cities.

With a maximum of 20 total troops you're not overwhelmed with hundreds of units as you are in other Real Time Strategy Games.

Add to this the fact you can group as many as 6 of your troops (each troop can have up to 7 characters in it) into one unit, you can literally run around the map with only 4 units to worry about. Feints, Broadsides, rushes, almost any real military strategy will work in Kohan including taking your enemy troops apart with ranged attacks while he's caught in the woods or the desert.

One of the real tests of any game is how it stands against time. Kohan was introduced in 1999. It's 4 years later and you can STILL get a regular game of Kohan going on Gamespy almost any time of the day. I recommend getting the dual pack containging both Immortal Sovereigns and Ahriman's Gift. The single player game is also incedibly well done so if you don't feel like playing multiplayer the first campaign on Immortal Sovereigns is done well and the 3 on Ahriman's Gift are for the truly skilled.
