Kohan: Ahriman's Gift was an awesome, strategic RTS--better than Starcraft IMHO. I can't vouch for the latest iteration of the series however--I've heard it was substantially dumbed down and lost the hardcore following that KAG had.

Re: Vote Dom3 as Strategy Game of the year on Game
There is a good number of RTS that are real strategy games not for click fanatics (and in most cases pausable) : the Kohan serie, all Paradox games, one of the many serie of games about WWII -forgotten it's name, a rts with mechanisms very close to squad leader/spww2-, the old Seven Kingdoms serie very slow paced and about gestion/spying more than fights, etc... There are also some TBS with far simpler mechanisms and no strategic interest.
RTS should be splitted in several genres considering their diversity (command&conquer inspired games are very arcade, warcraft/starcraft/ToA inspired games a little less, rts with buildings and an important financial element, rts without troop construction, rts using tabletop mechanisms / maps with provinces like Paradox games, etc.... and each of these categories can be splitted between pausable and non pausable games which are very different).

Yeah, Kohan II was a huge step backwards from the near-perfection of Kohan: Ahriman's Gift. 6 years after Kohan came out, I still play it online. It's that good!

How many of the old diehards are still there? I played a fair bit of MP under a different name--you used Potatomon in KAG too, IIRC.
