Hi,
this one should be fairly easy, although cannot locate the name myself. Thanks in advance
I played the game somewhere between 1990-1994. It was a medieval themed strategy, with a map being being shown as the main part of the UI.
The key thing is that there were video cut scenes played upon action taking. The videos were small in size, played from within the UI (something like 80x60 pixels) & totally black & white. Clearly they were videos, not animations. Sort of a very early appliance of MPGs
Even at one moment i thought i recognized the actual movie those short scenes were taken from. One scene was a battle cry, other a charge etc. I did not play the game a lot & don't remember much more. Overall the whole screen game had a 'marble' feel (I think), but the videos should pinpoint it for you.
Castles/Castles 2 come to mind, but no videos there.
