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.

Answer will be revealed in 8 hours (if no one replies correctly)

Can you guess the game ?

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

    Can anyone name it?

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

    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.

    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.

      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)

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

    I don’t know the game, but it looks like an older version of Age of Empires. The houses & town centers. I’ve only played AoE-2.

    Reminds me of the Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth RTS. That was a great game.

    EDIT: I was thinking of War of the Ring, which is older than Battle for Middle Earth by one year.

    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.

    edit:

    I found the name. Is describing everything I remember about the game to an AI allowed, or does that loosely fall into something like a “no image search” rule?

      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 …
