Kohan II: Kings of War

What works

• Installation (through Steam).
• To get the game to run, I had to perform several steps, see below.
• Intro movie works.
• Tutorial was completed without problems.

What does not

• Fonts issue. The game most likely will crash on startup with an error regarding Fonts/TrueType/VILLAGE.TTF.
• Option called "Additional terrain details" causes weird graphical glitches, but it might by just an issue with my card/drivers.

Workarounds

Here's how I fixed the TTF font issue :

1. download RWDExtractor.exe from http://kohan.chimaerica.com/dl...
2. use it to unpack Data.rwd
3. rename Data.rwd to for example as: Backup_of_Data.rwd
4. rename Data directory to for example: Ill_change_the_name_back_soon_to_Data
5. copy Warchest/Warchest.rwd a directory higher and rename the copy to Data.rwd
6. use RWDExtractor.exe again
7. rename Warchest/ directory to for example Warchest_original/
8. rename Data/ directory to Warchest/
9. rename Ill_change_the_name_back_soon_to_Data/ directory to Data/
10. copy file Data/Fonts/TrueType/VILLAGE.TTF to $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/fonts/ directory
    remove or rename Data.rwd
11. in files Warchest/Fonts/font_large.tgi and Data/Fonts/font_large.tgi
    locate line saying "font = /Fonts/TrueType/VILLAGE.TTF" and change it to
    "font = Village"
