Title: old game i used to play
Post by: DEViANCE on April 28, 2007, 23:37:23 PM
ive been trying to find an old game i used to spend hours playing when i was younger.

its pretty old (say mid-late ninties) and the gfx are pretty poor, 2d etc, and i used to play it on a p90 with 32meg ram.

It is a RTS game, and i think it has Dracula in the title.

basically you start off with a small force, of blue men.
a knight, a couple of battering rams, a few swordsmen and a few crossbow men and you have to kill all the red army on the map.

once you have won this map you go to a screen where you can train more men, upgrade tech(catapults and connons etc) ,and choose the next piece of land to invade and build castles and forts on the land you have. there is a map on the top right with lots of pieces of land and you have to get them all.

even tho i used to play it alot i never managed to get all of them so dont know what happens.

even tho it has dracula in the title (i think) i dont actually remember it having anything to do with dracula or ever seeing him  :?

anyone got any idea?

sounds like it could be "settlers" to me

no it is from around the same time tho, bit more basic than settlers. i am pretty sure it had dracula in the title.

i think you(the player) actually plays as dracula, and you are building and controlling your armys to take over all the bits of land, its a real time stratagy game, so you are dracula in the same way you are a commander in C&C.

there was only a few types of units, catapult, cannon, swordman, crossbow man, knight and battering ram, and you couldnt build anything while you where in battle, only when you have won, or lost the land you are fighting for and returned to the main screen.

you could build castles on the land that you captured, ranging from just single towers to massive strongholds.

gutted i cant find it, used to play it for hours.
