Im looking for an old game, i cant remember the name of it.
I do remember...
It was a turn based medieval(ish) war game.
You had armies that had to surround opponents armies to defeat them.
It was based in Europe / Persia.
Opponents turns were computer generated.
It was a little bit like diplomacy but simpler.
Macedonia and Rome were the names of 2 Armies.
The game was freeware, given away with compilation disks in PC magazines.
Ive spent hours googling, nothing.
Thanks for reply. Thats not it.
The graphics were more basic , hex squares too.
Ill try draw from memory the layout with MSpaint ,when I get home from work tomorrow.
Was it Oregon Trail?
Always ford the river
You've killed 3 billion pounds of buffalo, you can carry back 5 pounds.
dawg, no, caulk the wagon imo
you guys are doing it wrong.

wasn't any of the early civilization games? like Civ 1 maybe
I've seen screen shots of civilization.
Doesn't look right. Also. Maybe early civilization is too early.
I remember that on the amiga.
I assume you've looked through various abandonware sites?
Strategy | Abandonia
I liked the part where you get to shoot Indians.

I keep coming back to this thread hoping its been answered, because I can't think what it would be and feel like I should. Definately sounds like Civ. Not Civ 2 by any chance?
Its not Civ cos...
It's 3000 B.C., dawn of civilization. Wait, which Civ do I wanna play? America? Aztec? Babylon? Chinese? Egypt? English? French? German? Greeks? Indian? Mongols? Romans? Russians? Zulu?
The countries are wrong, it was Rome, Macedonia & more. Plus the screen shots wrong.
Its not a sim city/ populous type game. more diplomacy with armies.
I must attempt a sketch,
Say you chose Rome, you started with a tiny army and a small patch of land, say 15 squares (honeycomb shaped i think) , you move , you move 5 of our units in any direction, then the computer takes every other countries moves simultaneously as the game progresses some countries get dominated and wiped out.
Greece was another country / province. Gee, im on the verge of remembering the name of it.
You keep saying its not Civ, then describing Civ :p.
Draw a picture!
Populous?
Not populous
crude drawing, but from memory.
It was so addictive.

You sure it wasn't Oregon Trail?
when was the first Europa Universalis made? Sounds like it could be an early crude version of that game.
Looks like Minesweeper.
Based on the drawing, it's clearly a very early version of Civ5.
...or Oregon Trail.
The Oregon Trail screen shots I googled were pictures of cowboys & indians, So I disregarded it.

also , the title "Oregon Trail" is wrong,
. Ill check out more screen shots , from civ5 too.
looking up Civ1 , its pretty close, but too advanced.
Also , my sketch is quite accurate.

The earliest Civilian I can find, from the Amiga, its not the same game, you didnt find scrolls etc. so its not CIV.

This thread reminds me of the How I Met Your Mother episode "Best burger in New York"
I STILL HAVE DREAMS ABOUT THAT BURGER!Quote:

P.S Not slay ?
Slay - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com
THAT'S IT !!
Soon as I saw the title, yes it was shareware, I remember they wanted people to upgrade, I never did, but enjoyed it immensely.
Thanks, Ive put a lot of internet time into finding this.
Well done miffed22001.
Sorry to be tardy to the party, but for future reference try here:
The "Can't remember the name of this game" Thread
There is no game that cannot be found even with minimal description.
There's no point in trying to get Celtic to use the search function.
Search buttons are for failed clowns.
