    At the time it was released, the original Kohan was one of the most enjoyable and creative real-time strategy games we had ever played. Offering a number of innovations, it stood as a challenge to the Warcraft and C&C clones that made up too great a percentage of the RTS market. A clearer and more manageable command concept, an economic model that rewarded efficiency rather than hoarding, the either/or approach to town development; all these features combined to make Kohan a real standout.

    And the sequel is even better than the original.

    The story of Kohan 2 is told through a 25-mission campaign. It begins as the immortal warriors known as the Kohan are rebuilding after the Great War against Ahriman and the Ceyah. At the start of the game an unknown force launches an attack on the borders of Istaria. Fearing that it's the Ceyah, the Istarians send out a Seeker named Naava Daishan to check things out.

    Though there are a few holes in the game's overall presentation, TimeGate's done a wonderful job with Kohan 2. Any RTS gamer who's tired of the same old crap will definitely enjoy the unique take on the genre. There's certainly been more innovation among RTS titles over the last few years but Kohan 2 still stands out as one of the best. The mechanics are solid and the visual presentation is honestly better than I expected.

    This week puts RTS fans on the horns of a dilemma. Kohan 2, The Creative Assembly's Rome: Total War and Relic's Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War are all being released within days of each other. This is what we cynics like to call "an embarrassment of riches." The good news is that each of the titles offers a clear and distinct approach to the genre, both in terms of mechanics and content. That, at least, should make the decision easier. One thing's for certain however: those gamers who choose Kohan 2 will definitely not be disappointed.

  2. Feb 1, 2016 · The single and multiplayer AI is more aggressive, challenging players to adapt to a much more demanding pace. But the clearest (and prettiest) new feature in Kohan II is how cities are handled. The single-sprite settlements of the first generation are gone, replaced by fully modeled cities.

  4. Oct 30, 2004 · That is exactly what happens in Kohan II.

  5. Jul 9, 2004 · The Shadow is coming back over the world. Here is where Kohan 2 picks up, with the alliance fractured and unprepared for the coming danger.

  6. Oct 24, 2007 · Kohan II is a fantasy RTS, including every traditional bad point of the genre. While admirable for trying to pull away from a straight Tolkein clone, it just ends up as an unmemorable chimeric blob of randomly arranged consonants.
