Kohan is a very smart, very polished title that lures the user in with elegance and absorbs them with possibility.

 Gamers Europe » PC » Review » Kohan II: Kings of War   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, along with the likes of the Total War series, essentially created a niche within the RTS market of gameplay based off tactics and involving very little (if any) base management.
Kohan II’s single player is split into 25 missions, each containing a number of set objectives flanked by a few side quests that, while often quite long, are rarely very taxing on the grey matter.
In the original Kohan, you had to pay gold if a captain died but in Kohan II if a captain dies, he will regenerate but their stats and experience points will be back down to zero.

In Kohan, a regiment of soldiers was as large as the city they came from and taller than trees out of necessity.
In Kohan II, cities will be able to be attacked by troops who can actually enter the city and attack individual buildings as well as capturing the castle at the center.
Just a bit about the story, since that's all there is: Kohan II will be set in a new age long after the original, when only the immortal Kohan remember what happened at the end of the first game.

 The Awakening - Kohan: Kings of War - FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
"Kohan II" will in many ways be very similar to its predecessor, retaining many of the popular features and gameplay design that made it such a critical success.
"Kohan II" features a state-of-the-art 3D graphics engine capable of displaying over one hundred units on screen and easily handles eye-popping graphical effects like dynamic lighting (the glow of a fireball illuminating the darkness), spell effects (flaming arrows, lightning bolts, billowing clouds), weather effects (rain, snow, hail) and terrain decals (scorch marks, withered trees).
Kohan Heroes will be more powerful, yet less available, making each one more valuable to the player’s army.

 Kohan II: Kings of War Preview - PC News at GameSpot
The 2001 Kohan games earned widespread critical acclaim and were beloved by the game's audience--but they didn't reach nearly the same number of gamers as the genre's best-known franchises, like Warcraft and Command and Conquer.
As such, Kohan II is focused on bringing a more contemporary look to the series (it's a fully 3D game whose graphics are quite reminiscent of Ensemble Studios' Age of Mythology), and the game will also feature an even more streamlined interface than its predecessors.
Kohan II will be a fully featured real-time strategy game, with an extensive story-driven single-player campaign, a complete versus-CPU skirmish mode (with a random scenario generator and multiple difficulty settings for computer opponents), an online multiplayer mode for up to eight players per match, and a map editor for making custom battles.

For the rest of us, the world of Kohan II is a generic mishmash of humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, and undead.

 KOHAN
Kohan is, at least initially, inspired by Persian mythology (Kohan means "ancient" in Persian).
In Kohan II called "Ahriman's gift" instead of going with a Tolkienian style world or the classic Greco-Roman, Celtic or Norse mythologies, a blend of Persian mythology and Zoroastrianism was used for the base.
The Kohan, though immortal in spirit, can be killed by violence, their spirits retreating into the Great Dream, their only connection with Khaldun being a indestructible golden amulet.

 Cheat Index - Kohan: Ahriman's Gift Computer Review
Kohan: Ahriman's Gift is billed as a "stand-alone prequel" to this spring's excellent fantasy-themed real-time strategy game, Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns.
The Kohan game engine attempts to eliminate the frenetic pace and mouse-clicking that had become associated with so many real-time strategy games, as well as to introduce a strategic depth reminiscent of classic turn-based games.
Kohan's improvement-based system means that taking enemy cities will rapidly shift the balance of power in your direction, and the most effective way to do that is by massed force.

Kohan are immortal generals that lead (mortal) armies into battle.

Kohan II's single-player campaign is passable, but doesn't do as much to break the RTS mould as the rest of the game.
Kohan II can be agonizingly slow in the beginning, which on the one hand is nice because it discourages rushing, but on the other hand...well, it's boring.

The original Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns was a sleeper hit from TimeGate Studios -- the first game for an unknown company trying to make its mark on the real-time strategy scene with an interesting story, unique units, and a twist to the traditional gameplay that had started to bog down a crowded genre.
One of the biggest challenges we faced in bringing Kohan II: Kings of War to life was the prospect of taking a game that has won "Strategy Game of the Year" awards and remaking it so that the game progressed the ideas that we presented in Kohan while also reaching out to a larger audience.
We knew that we wanted to retain the core ideas that make Kohan such a deep game, but we had to ensure that the barrier to entry was low for new players.

 The Wargamer - Review - Kohan: Ahriman's Gift
Some visitors to the Kohan forum have expressed some disappointment with the lack of movie or cut scene videos in the game, but this author's personal preference is always for increased emphasis (particularly expenditure of resources: time and money) on game play and less on cut scene videos.
The Kohan game interface is one of the most elegantly designed and easy to use GUIs in the RTS market and a real paragon for other games to emulate.
Many Kohan gamers tend to be primarily multiplayer fans (at least this seems apparent from reading the forum posts), and some have expressed dismay at the incompatibility issue of not playing Kohan: Ahriman's Gift with players who own only Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns.

While adding to the mythos of the Kohan (a group of immortal beings, both good and evil), K:AG attempts to follow the philosophy of 'more is better.' As with most fantasy-based games, there are the forces of shadow -- in this case, the Ceyah -- who are attempting to take over the world.
If you have never played the first Kohan, you can think of it as Warcraft 2, with dashes of Civilization 2 and a few great new ideas.
The most impressive feature of Kohan is the use of Zones to determine where your supplies can go and come from, without all the little peasants running around.
