Description:
A real-time strategy game set in the fantasy world of Khaldun, Kohan: Ahriman's Gift takes you to new heights of strategic warfare. Built on the award-winning Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns gameplay, Ahriman's Gift provides countless hours of entertainment with five campaigns, forty custom-built maps, and a host of multiplayer options. You become one of the Kohan, an ancient race devastated by a cycle of world-breaking cataclysms. Newly awakened to an uncertain future and a past you don't remember, you must forge the present using superior strategies. Now, as your strength grows and your destiny unfolds, you have to seize the reins of power and take your place in the war between the Creator and the Shadow. Which side you fight on is up to you.

Players will need to use a mix of strategy, tactics, and resource management for successful kingdom building. Victory will depend heavily on the player's ability to commission and manage a strong military force that compliments his economic strategy. Nothing can be taken for granted though. Players can play a basic tutorial, an advanced tutorial, and three story-based campaigns, as well as play with up to 7 other players over the Internet or LAN. Also included is a fully functional Map Editor that allows users to create and customize their own maps, allowing for endless replayability.
