Some games will be more obscure than others. Every game I post will have had a US release. And is a game I’ve personally played.

Can you guess the game ?

    Not the answer, but the screenshot reminds me a lot of Dragonshard from ‘05.

    That looks familiar to a game I played back in mid 2000’s. The UI looks similar but I think it was white not red. Dark War, or Dark something: War.

      Was thinking the same at first, but Majesty 1 was 2D and I don’t think Majesty 2 had quite this style

      It deffo has a Warcraft III vibe, but I’m pretty sure Warcraft II used flat isometric sprites. (But not sure enough so I searched for it lol)

    Oh I have definitely played this game before! It’s a game with multiple factions and each faction collects different resources. There’s something like five resources and each faction needs 3 or so of them. Iirc these salamanders were sort of monk/magic/nature-ish or something along those lines. I think there were also humans (perhaps space marine style?) and some other species as factions.

      The idea for the challenge is to just guess . If you can’t remember I’d consider it “against the rules” I will allow you typing in a game name you think it is and seeing the screenshots look similar.

      It’s just to easy and ruins the fun for someone to pass an image to Google search or AI and they find it for you …

    Similar vein: this was my “we have war craft at home”

    Can anyone name it?

        What do you think was missing from the game? It felt complete to me

          More map variety and a more complete campaign. As a child, I played the heck out of it, but as an adult, there just isn’t the same content draw that games like AoE1 had.

          If there is one game from that era that I really want remade, it is Tzar.

    For a second, I was wondering if it’s Dominant Species. But I don’t think it had anything resembling human houses or cool UI.

    I tried to find it out with a web search for my own curiosity (I wouldn’t have shared it), but all I learned was that the RTS market was insanely saturated around the time 3D RTSs were gaining steam.

    There are so many.
