Please stay tuned to our website for the official announcement."</i><p> I am vividly keeping my fingers crossed they will finally update the Linux version of KIS (1.3.1) to match the Windows version (1.3.4). Besides, I can't wait to play KAG...<p> Cheers Status of "Kohan: Ahriman's Gift" for Linux default
