In order for cities to develop, you must have a set amount of gold, wood, stone, et cetera. Only by carefully developing a city, then upgrading it, are you empowered to use some of the more exotic military units available in the game. The graphical effects in Kohan are quite nice, and the game which incorporates the fog of war for lands unexplored, yet does not hide them if units haven t visited them in a while is quite colorful and bright. Each campaign within the overall structure of the game in played on a finite map. Though you are marching northward and retaking the lands overrun by Shadow forces, the game is segmented so that you accomplish each mission before advancing to the next map area.
Game play within each mission moves along in real time.
Kohan Immortal Sovereigns is wonderfully playable, offering a nice range of options and even campaign generation tools to allow gamers to create their own scenarios. This game has managed to forge a nice mixture between the civilization and strategic combat genres, with a dash of magic thrown in for eye candy. The script for the game may be old hat, but the developers have delivered a fresh look and enjoyable adventure to spice it up. This game is rated for Everyone. Though there is animated blood and animated violence, both are rather tame.
