Can't remember the name of a 90s rts game...

[jadebarrow]

Hello there,

I'm hoping you people can help me, I've been going crazy, browsing my old computer magazines issues, looking for a particular demo of a real time strategy...

The only things that I can remember are :

- it was quite difficult
- it's from around mid 90s, possibly between 1997-1999 but it may oscilliate around later years
- it's rather 2d if not slightly isometric
- the villagers go out of the base and harves pumpkins... large, irregularly shaped pumpkins, those big pumpkin patches made me recall that game and now I'm looking for it.

can anyone help?

It sounds like Empire Earth, but it was released in 2001 though.... Are you sure it's not that?

The pumpkin thing is scratching at my mind - I'm sure the answer is in my head somewhere, but I'll need more details to lure it out.

Its not Beasts and Bumpkins is it? I remember that game, it was awesome.

Are these the pumpkins of which you speak, from Empire Earth :

I've checked the above and unfortunately these are not the ones.

It's not Tzar either.

I remember that the setting seemed pretty dark, I think it was night time when the scenario was on (at least in the demo I played) and it created an atmosphere of suspense.

Seems familiar... but I may have delusions. I'll look for a demo of that.


EDIT:

Nope, that's not EE, despite the familiar pumpkins

Still looking...

The Settlers?

 

[jadebarrow]

Nope. I'm just playing S2 again and it's not that. If that's of any help I remember the pumpkin gathering villagers being attacked by some monsters soon after I tried to build my base, somehow.

after personally looking for this game for for myself for quite some time now i think i may have finally come across it, i believe it was a game called rising lands and is quite hard to come across nowdays.

[pegasus010]

confirmed, i think i found it, or at least its the game i was looking for for many years.

Rising Lands is a fantasy-based real-time strategy computer game developed by Microïds, released in 1997.
