Old Wargame

Post by Distrust »

Hi,

I'm looking for a game that I played when I was like 7 or 8 years old, thus 14 or 15 years ago.

Basically, you had an army which you had to train and upgrade and whatnot and you could choose one hero who had a specific class (I remember that fighter and mage/sorcerer were two of 'em). As you fought battles, your hero gained levels.

Then there was a map with sectors you had to conquer. I think you had 3 computer enemies.

To conquer a sector, you had to fight the enemy's army in real time, which means the fights themselves were not round based.

It was army vs army, with the individual heroes of the armies being part of the battle on the battlefield. You could always choose one warrior of your army (your hero, too) who you could control yourself, the rest was computer-controlled. The perspective during battles was birds' eye view style. The weaponry was medieval style, with longbows, swords, shields, etc. Some huge battles with some 100 units on the battlefield at the same time.

I can also recall that one of the mage computer enemies had a really strong hero who was level 36, even from the very beginning, whereas it took your hero a lot of time to even get from level one to two.

I'm sorry if I can't be any more descriptive, but I really have to find this game. Used to love it back then.

I think it had a rather long name, but I'm not too sure right now. Issue date should be somewhere around 1994 - 1996.

Thanks a lot!

No, that's not it unfortunately.

It's not just about magic. Magic is a part of it, but there are other classes you can choose from.

There were also some undead people in there.

It sounds a lot like Gladiator

Please mboushka, don't upload games.
Post the names and/or link to mobygames if you want to be helpful, but don't expect that we download everything to check if it's koosjer or not.

Acceptable are links to HotU or Abandonia, in extremis to known archive sites as ifarchive or cdtextfiles, read the rules please.
Use your common sense.

No, that's not it either.

It was a little more sophisticated as far as the graphics are concerned.

nope, unfortunately none of those.

it was definitely more sophisticated than warlords.

I think it had a rather long name and the game logo was in kind of a twirly font.

Something like "kingdoms and realms of magic" or something along those lines.
