I played this game a long time ago, and can't remember that much about the game or the game title itself.

I know the game was a fantasy game, and you could collect crystals.

I also believe that the game was a sort of strategy game in which you could claim land by building/placing something, maybe a crystal, on the land and it would create an area around it. I don't remember whether there were buildings you could build or not, but I think you could. I think you could also pack up stuff like fabric and food and send it to another kingdom (either one you owned or one someone else owned) I think that the entire plot of the game is you were going through the lands looking for seven crystals.

The game itself I think was in third person, diamond perspective (ie you were looking at the landscape from one corner)

That is all I can remember about the game, (and I am surprised I remembered that much) sorry about that. I do know that it WAS sold, so it is not freeware (I once had a cd I think, but I lost it) but I don't know who it was by, whether it is abandonware or not.

sounds like Settlers of Catan, maybe?

No that isn't it, the one I am thinking of had better graphics and you were closer to the ground, if that makes sense. it wasn't hexagonal. I wish I would rememeber more :(

Sorry it took so long, but I kept forgetting to look here.

I think you had goods like cloth (you had bolts of cloth you could send) and stone or something. You couldn't build cities (I don't think I don't remember that) but rather just managed them. I think you had various kingdoms that you could take over and had to manage, and I am positive that you were searching for crystals that would end the game.

Populous? sounds like that...

[kittybrod]

Populous? sounds like that...

That could be, but I don't think so, populous sounds familiar, do you have a link to it?

[Scatty]

Populous (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/populous)
Populous II - Trials of the Olympian Gods (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/populous-ii-trials-of-the-olympian-gods)
Populous - The Beginning (http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/populous-the-beginning)

[kittybrod]

No, that isn't the game I am looking for

[OBMiT]

Is it Powermonger/Warmonger by Bullfrog?

No, I doubt it, those don't sound familiar at all, are they on Abandonia?

[Robsie]

Powermonger (http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/444)
Warmonger was the original name of the game before release.

No, that isn't it either, though it does look interesting (I am downloading it now)

I wish I could remember more about it, but I just can't. I don't even remember iif there was any fighting in it, and if so, how the fighting was done.

Could it be MegaLoMania (http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/../en/games/155/Mega+Lo+Mania.html) ?

No, that isn't it either. If this helps, I think it might have been released about the time of Fantasy Empires and Ultimate Adventures as I am pretty sure it came in a pack with both of those, as well as some others I can't remember the exact names of right now.

[DonCorleone]

Then Fantasy General (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/fantasy-general) maybe???

[Icewolf]

Reminds me of Netstorm (http://www.abandonia.com/de/games/14488/NetStorm+-+Islands+at+War.html). :huh:

[Kugerfang]

Final Fantasy....

[TheChosen]

Final Fantasy....

*slaps Kuger to the back of the head*

[kittybrod]

Final Fantasy....
Nope, I think I would remember that one ;) (not that I ever played it....)
Reminds me of Netstorm (http://www.abandonia.com/de/games/14488/NetStorm+-+Islands+at+War.html). :huh:
No, I would have definately remember that one, since I don't speak or read german and it didn't look familiar :(
Then Fantasy General (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/fantasy-general) maybe???

No, a good game, but while this was a strategy game, I am not sure it was the type of strategy game with a lot of fighting (as I said earlier, I can't remember how any fights were handled)

Thanks for the help, I will TRY to remember anything else about the game.

[Tarek4c]

Maybe it is Blood & Magic !!

[kittybrod]

Hmm, that name doesn't ring a bell, I guess I will have to google it and hope that there are screenies at whatever I find.

thanks for the name though, hopefully it is.

Found two sites, and one was in german and the only screenie I could find didn't look like it... :(

I know this doesn't have crystals in it, but there is a myriad of resource harvesting, trading and other such diplomacy, as well as the main game in Diamond view perspective and fixed cities.

No that isn't it, I actually bought that game a while ago and have played it quite a bit. I do think that the game I was looking for was a bit like that, though again, I am not sure whether there was any fighting or not (I can't remember any, but there could have been)

BTW, I love your avatar and Username :D

I know its late but how about this:

http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/642/Stronghold.html

I have a copy of this game that was part of a 5-disk set called Ultimate Fanatsy that had Dark Sun: Shattered Lands, Dungeon Hack, Fantasy Empires, Stronghold (SSI), and Unlimited Adventures.

There is also this that is very similar to Populous:

No that isn't it, I have that exact same five disk set :D I already downloaded this one (I love it). I thought that what I wanted was part of that set, but I guess it was part of another set because I know what all those are (I have them and love them all.

Thanks for your help, and for reminding me about that game, I might go play it some more tomorrow :D

But I just realized that I never checked out the second link and I am pretty sure THAT is it. :D but it is protected :cry:

Some of it isn't familiar, but other parts are becoming more familiar. Thank you for finding the game, maybe one day I will be able to play it again :) And it does have the quest for the crystals like I thought :)
