I miss having a hero I can directly control in an RTS game. Rise and fall civilizations at war was the closest there was, but it won't even run on windows anymore

Have you heard of Divinity:Dragon Commander? It's exactly what you're describing

Also Black and White has a lot of that

[-] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

That looks like a cool one, I'll check it out.

I'm not an avid rts player and I found it very difficult fyi

[-] Nashua@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

This is an old one, but have you ever played Sacrifice? Loved that game, think it was around the same era as Black and White

[-] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Sacrifice looks pretty dope.

One of the things that made Warcraft 3 so fucking good at the time.

I'm totally not the guy to give this advice, but I am frequently told you can get almost any old game running on windows with the right emulators and know how. I don't have the know how, but I'm sure you could figure it out if you spent a couple days learning about it.

[-] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

No your right %100. I actually already know how to do all of it. But I also do a lot of that stuff for my job, and while I really want to play the game. I really don't want to spend half a day to the majority of a day setting up a VM. One day.

[-] Lurker@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

Yup, that's my problem in a nut shell. People make it sound really easy, and I'm sure with enough time and reading it would be, but man is that not just something I can do right now

[-] linuxdweeb@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

That kind of sounds like the Warriors franchise.

[-] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

It was a LOT like that. Think of a regular RTS game. Rome, Egyptians, Greeks. 5000 population cap. But you can enter a dynasty warriors mode with your hero and level up and give your troops rudimentary commands. It was dope.
