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...

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

Populous
Populous II - Trials of the Olympian Gods
Populous - The Beginning

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

Is it Powermonger/Warmonger by Bullfrog?

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

Powermonger
Warmonger was the original name of the game before release.
