Like the original game, Kohan II is a fantasy-themed RTS built around the ideas of cities and companies. We've been putting an early version of the game through its paces, and the good news is that Kohan II is shaping up to be a worthy successor. Now with the sequel, developer TimeGate Studios faces the challenge of improving on the original and broadening its appeal without losing the elements that made the original great. The result was that you could focus more on the big picture rather than on the minutiae, and Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns was a breath of fresh air in a genre that was seemingly stuck in a rut. The original Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns burst upon the scene in 2001 and introduced a new model of fantasy-themed real-time strategy-one that actually emphasized strategy and did away with unit micromanagement and large-scale resource gathering.
