The classic "we have Warcraft III at home"!

Game: Dark Planet: Battle For Natrolis Publisher: Ubi Soft Developer: Creative Edge Software Platform: Windows Release: 2002

This was the first unsolved !!! Thanks for everyone who participated!!

Similar vein: this was my "we have war craft at home"

Can anyone name it?

3D houses and more pixels, must be something between 1995 and 2000. I have never played that though.

That looks familiar to a game I played back in mid 2000's. The UI looks similar but I think it was white not red. Dark War, or Dark something: War.

Not the answer, but the screenshot reminds me a lot of Dragonshard from ‘05.

I tried to find it out with a web search for my own curiosity (I wouldn't have shared it), but all I learned was that the RTS market was insanely saturated around the time 3D RTSs were gaining steam.

There are so many.

Warlords battle cry 3?

Sonic Adventures 2

this is the first time i have actually no idea lol

For a second, I was wondering if it's Dominant Species. But I don't think it had anything resembling human houses or cool UI.

Reminds me of the Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth RTS. That was a great game.

EDIT: I was thinking of War of the Ring, which is older than Battle for Middle Earth by one year.

I'd guess majesty but I'd be incorrect, too much control over units...

what are the units they look like goblins?

I don't know the game, but it looks like an older version of Age of Empires. The houses & town centers. I've only played AoE-2.

Was this game fun? I would love more early 2000s rts games!

Warcraft 2?

Oh I have definitely played this game before! It's a game with multiple factions and each faction collects different resources. There's something like five resources and each faction needs 3 or so of them. Iirc these salamanders were sort of monk/magic/nature-ish or something along those lines. I think there were also humans (perhaps space marine style?) and some other species as factions.

edit:

Please no image search …

I found the name. Is describing everything I remember about the game to an AI allowed, or does that loosely fall into something like a "no image search" rule?
