Kohan 2 Kings of War

[Ashitaka-san]

I just thought I'd mention this game on here. I have been playing it for a few months now and it is one of the best, if not the best, MP RTS games ever (althought single player isn't very good). It really is that good.
It's much different from your typical RTS games, like Warcraft 3, which is all about micromanagement and pumping out units. Not a whole lot of strategy in that type of game.
In Kings of War, you work with companies that you design using frontline troops and support units as well. All the races are fairly equal and the game gets intense as there are many different strategies you can use. Terrain has an effect on everything as well. Rather than gathering resources, you work with economics of cities. It makes things much easier and better IMHO.
Only drawback is the community isn't so large... the game came out at the same time as RTW and Dawn of War. But there are some good players online and we have some awesome battles. ~D
Anyways, I thought I would mention this because I have been disappointed with most RTS when it comes to MP. I came across Kings of War and it really is one of the best RTS I have ever played.

Oh yes, I know the first Kohan, alright, and played the second one's demo already.

It is a good game. May be I'll buy it, say, next week?

But, is the single player really sucks? Because I hate MP games.

EDIT: P.S. Oh, do you agree with me that the Haroun are just another name for elves and the Gauri are just twisted bigger dwarves? Hehe...

Yes, Haroun are elves and Gauri are dwarves ~:)

You may like the single player campaign. I personally found it too easy.

If you liked the campaign in the first Kohan, you will like the campaign in this one. I played through most of it but stopped once I discovered how great MP was ~D

[AntiochusIII]

Oh, then it's fine for me, because I liked the first one's campaign. ~D

Hmm...and the Drauga must be the "tribal barbarians." Though I can't find any Slaanri (Ninja Turtles???) anymore. Are they in Kohan 2?

Slaan are available as tech units for the Shadow. You'll find them when you play.

And actually there are now some amazingly good AIs being written by members of the community that make single player every bit as compelling as STW was. I will bet you it will take you quite a while until you can beat some of the nastier ones on the hardest setting. Too bad the same couldn't be said for Rome, eh?
