People might have missed the thread in PC Games where I asked what game I should play next. I got some responses saying "Kohan," so I did.
Thank you so much.
This game has grabbed in a way in which few games have in a long time. I'm constantly thinking about the mission I'm on and how I can finish it, and I explore the ENTIRE map on each mission, just to see what there is (like a young dragon! Sweet!). It's so great.
I'm going to have to hunt down Ahriman's Gift, methinks.
Just wanted to give my thanks for the Kohan recommendation.

This Kohan I or Kohan II? I almost picked up a copy of Kohan II this past weekend, but I developed the catapult just in time to deliver true vengeance on the Egyptians. Break a trade treaty with a sneak attack, and suffer the consequences.
Three of my generals now have the traits "mad" or "bloody." In order to remove them from my family gene pool, I have been forced to attack with reckless disregard for these general's lives.

My computer can't handle it, I think.
Kohan 1 is GREAT, though. It's something entirely different from what I'm used to.

You might be surprised how forgiving Kohan II is. You can dip below minimum specs and still play the game. My desktop runs it well but I can play it on a laptop with a 32mb graphics chip when I travel. I lose a lot of the bells and whistles but it still looks good.Eel Snave wrote:My computer can't handle it, I think.

What resolution are you running it at? I have a 64MB video card and I get slide shows if more than a couple companies are duking it out at the same time (at 1024x768). And that just in a 1vs1 skirmish. If I drop the resolution to 800x600 everything seems so damn big and it throws me off a bit.Tareeq wrote:You might be surprised how forgiving Kohan II is.
