Overview
Description

Kohan II: Kings of War is a classic real‑time strategy game that expands on its predecessor with deeper kingdom management, larger battles, and a richly detailed fantasy world. Players command armies, develop economies, and lead heroes across diverse terrains in both single‑player campaigns and multiplayer skirmishes.

East vs. West: A Hearts of Iron Game is a grand strategy video game developed by BL-Logic and published by Paradox Interactive, built upon the popular Hearts of Iron franchise. Set during the tense backdrop of the Cold War, it aimed to let players navigate global geopolitics, nuclear brinkmanship, and ideological conflicts. Ultimately, the project faced a prolonged and troubled development cycle before being officially cancelled by Paradox Interactive, leaving it as a notable piece of strategy gaming history rather than a completed commercial release.
