“Loki Software, Inc., the leading publisher of commercial games
for the Linux operating system, today announces an agreement with
Timegate Studios, a premier developer of entertainment software, to
bring Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns to Linux. Kohan will be the
first of the immensely-popular real-time strategy gaming genre to
be commercially available for Linux.“
“This is a tremendous coup for Linux games,” said Scott Draeker,
president of Loki Software. “The Linux version of this masterpiece
will be released near-simultaneously with the Windows version in Q1
2001.”
“A real-time fantasy war game for up to 8 players, Kohan is
visually stunning and provides a rich gaming experience. Set in the
mystical world of Khaldun, players must use strategy, tactics, and
resource management to create a successful kingdom and to create
and deploy their military forces. Special features of this upcoming
title include the consideration of terrain, formation and company
efficiency in combat and movement. The regimental command structure
allows players to focus on strategy and tactics without
micro-management. A rich fantasy setting with a detailed background
and many unique races, places and magic guarantee excellent replay
value. Players may also use a fully-functional editor with a random
map generator to customize new scenarios, campaigns, and deathmatch
maps.”
