What is Kohan? I've never heard of that before. As for the rest -- Starcraft is generally accepted as being a ripoff of Warhammer 40k. (Protoss=Eldar, Tyranids= Zerg, Space Marines=Terrans) I never played TA bc I was into Starcraft, did TA have squad-based fighting? DoW is actually more similar to TA:Kingdoms actually -- TAK had static resource points to capture with a similar resource-scheme.
The reason people like it so much is bc its Warhammer and/or its a refreshing change from the standard fare of RTS games that come out in slews nowadays. Even if it were similar to TA, that game was out 7 years ago, I'm not aware of any other squad-based RTS games (Ive played about a dozen of them since Warcraft1 and heard of numerous others)
