Kohan Features

Company Based Combat System

• No more unorganized masses of units. Kohan players create custom groupings of units that we call companies.
• Up to 40 different units can be combined to create thousands of possible unique companies that will most importantly function distinctly.
• Different formations alter the company’s Attack Value, Visual Range, Zone of Control, Movement Rate, and can even affect Morale
• Companies are commanded like single units are in other games reducing the click-factor inherent in many RTS titles.
• The units within each company manage themselves, positioning and attacking by following their own internal AI.

Classic Military Concepts

• Morale - may drop during combat and when members are lost. This can cause rout in battle and refusals to accept commands for a short time.
• Supply - if a player dares to venture too far from the supply range of their buildings, they may lose the ability to heal and regain lost units
• Terrain - may slow the movement of a company, provide defensive bonuses, and be used to one’s advantage or create disadvantages
• Other concepts such as fatigue, zones of control, visual range, formation and company efficiency
  

Distinctive Economic Model

• All units and buildings have per minute upkeep costs rather than lump sums to be paid upon creation.
• Kingdom’s building components and mines produce resources on a per minute basis
• A simple balancing of pluses and minuses will provide a more involved player with a successful economy

Depth of Play

• The Kohan player will have many options and paths to success.
• Scenarios were created with complex goals in mind.
• A successful Kohan player will need the ability to plan ahead, generate strategy, and be involved in several aspects of the game at once.

• Variety of settings to create your own customized multiplayer games
