The standalone expansion to Immortal Sovereigns, Ahriman's gift is more Kohan. It introduced a lot of new units and campaigns thatt happened in and around the events of the original campaign. It was actually my first introduction to the series as it was featured in more than one gaming magazine's bonus CD. If youever wondered how a marriage between something like Civilization and a Real Time Strategy would look like - this is it.

Epic strategy game so many technologies to obtain, different champions to get with a degree of randomness of what u get to enable great replayability, love this game love that you dont know which kohan you get, what tech you find in ruins and adapting strategy around that. Wish it was more easily accessible nowadays.
This game was my Christmas and my winter holiday. I loved it, even though I only had the demo version. It brought me so much joy and excitement during those cold days, and I couldn’t stop playing it. Even with just the demo, it felt like a complete experience, and I’ll always remember it as a highlight of that time

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty
Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed. The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.

ParaWorld
ParaWorldThe game-concept is similar to "Age of Empires", which is a real-time strategy game. ParaWorld features food, wood, and stone as resources. Food can be picked from bushes, hunted from animals, fished from the sea, or farmed. Stone is located in limited deposits, and wood, cut from trees, is generally scattered throughout a map. Battles can occur on both land and sea. The story takes place in a parallel dimension, where prehistoric life thrives alongside diverse human civilizations that are not technologically advanced. As a result, dinosaurs take the place of traditional wildlife and livestock, though some of the dinosaurs in-game are highly stylized and not necessarily scientifically accurate. Wild-living dinosaurs can be hunted for food, though some are of dangerous and aggressive species and will attack any player unit that wanders too close. Other prehistoric creatures make an appearance as well, for example woolly mammoths are used where other games might feature elephants. Players advance through epochs in order to unlock new technologies and upgrades.
