Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns (usually shortened to KIS) is a real-time strategy game, developed by TimeGate Studios and published by Strategy First for Windows in 2001 and ported to Linux by Loki Software. The game is set in a high fantasy setting following the immortal beings named Kohan. The word "Kohan" comes from a Persian word which means "ancient". Indeed, the game Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns takes many elements from ancient Persian history, including the name of one of the most revered kings of the Persian Empire, Darius Javidan of the Javidan dynasty, as the main protagonist. The game features a lengthy single-player campaign and skirmish maps playable in multiplayer, or against the AI. The gameplay focuses on controlling companies instead of individual soldiers, a mechanic praised by critics for eliminating micromanagement. KIS was widely regarded as being an innovative game, especially for a fledgling game design company.

Being a thing immortal as itself?”
