This is a game I still remember on occassion, I really weird RTS where tech progress happened permanently per mission and you had to individually recruit, train and feed your troops.
A friend let me borrow it in ages past and I never got to play it again. I'd really like to check it once more and see how it holds up.
**Rising Lands** was one of the first RTS games I ever played; it was a gift from a dear friend. I was young and didn’t understand much English (maybe I still don’t), but I would get lost trying to survive level after level.
Unfortunately, the version I had was buggy and caused the game to crash, so I was never able to complete it. I would love to see how this game ends! 😊
UK Computer Buyer Magazine Sept 1998 had a demo of Rising Lands (along with IE 4.01 SP1 lol).
I was 9 years old and played it to death, but it was impossibly difficult. Why? Well I didn't realise sending food to the 'Culture' got you more Settlers! Mum got me the full game for Christmas but I never did complete it, the version I had was buggy and in 1998 there wasn't a way to fix it.
This is the sort of weird RTS that deserves a second chance, and we'd like a first chance at beating it!
This was one of my favourite RTS from my childhood. I bought it long time ago and I still have the CD. The game is challenging, you have to feed your troops and villagers, defeat enemy clans or keep peace with them.
You get little technology every mission but fortunately you can steal it (very recommended)
