Spoiler!


Now here's a another one. Again a RTS game, quite old. I played it once in an internet cafe when I was a kid. I believe it was in renaissance times. I remember it having quite a few races, specifically I remember that the Dutch are in it. The game reminds a little bit of a smoother version of AoE 2. I think it had a little bit fancier graphics (although still sprite-based). I remember a classy handwritten type of font, although I don't think it was the gothic style. Other key features are that The Fog of war only clears where there are units. So if the unit moves away, the field becomes 100% black again instead of the usual shadow. The LOS was also perfectly circular I think (and prtty big for all the units). I think it had units like archers, priests and gunpowder units, probably cavalry as well. buildings were pretty extravagant as well I think...

I'm not sure =/

I figured that it might've been one of the C&C games, but I never played one or even seen anyone play it to confirm.

can you show pictures of vehicles D:?
what was the thing that (probably) vacuumed...
and I think there were jeeps that fired stuff (missiles?)

well if it is, good luck finding it, that's like a really old game. I think I had to stop playing it because it didn't work on Windows XP. Like Red Alert hated me too, required Win95 or some crap.

Should be able to get it cheap, though.

Nope, should be able to get it free.

Command and conquer classic games have been free for a while now http://www.commandandconquer.com/classic. Enjoy.

I'm guessing this is the building that I thought looked like that thing in the Original post. On second thought I think it resembles the opera house a bit more though

The first C&C and the first red alert were truly amazing games. I don't know how many times I cleared the first C&C or how many skirmish (probably spelled wrong) matches I played in Red alert. Good times.

I went on that site and I can't seem to find the original C&C or the first red alert. Are they downloadable for free? I'd like to play a little bit since I'm really bored of D3


On a side note, another epic old game is roller coaster tycoon 1 :)

I don't think that's the game :/. I really think it had sprites, not 3D models.
