I played this RTS about a decade ago, it was on my first computer which ran Windows 98. So this is an older game. I bought this comp right around the Y2K scare, and I don't remember if this was before or after the millennium. Someone loaned me a demo for this game. I don't remember the name, what I do remember is this.
It was based on early human civilization, prehistory if you will, it also had a focus on magical elements. You were the leader of a primitive tribal society, and a bit like Black and White you had magical powers, these were mostly nature based. You could summon ground out of the water, create tornadoes, storms, etc. You lead a tribe in warfare. Unit production was unique, it involved creating birthing tents and placing a male and female inside the tents, this would slowly produce more tribes men that you could then send into other tents to give them specialization like priests, warriors, etc. There did not seem to be any water combat, at least not as far as the demo let me see. From what I remember of UI, it reminds me of C&C to a certain extent with the vertical combat bar, but I think it was on the left side of the screen. I also remember you could set up watch fires, but had to place a unit to tend the fire. This unit would actually patrol, or dance (almost in native American fashion) around the fire while tending it. Resources... only two I remember were wood and food, but I may be mistaken about them. The civilization I remember reminded me of a very early version of the Incas, not in technology, but in art style (almost Easter Island like).
Anyways that's all I remember, except that the game demo disc was from a gaming catalog, maybe PC Gamer? but not sure on that either. Anyways, would be much appreciated if someone could ID the game. Have been searching the net for it, and no where I have looked has any info.
Thanks.
