This is an old game ('98) but i don't care.
Basically you have a shaman which can cast 20+ spells. And braves, which you can train into specialized units and use them in different ways. It is an RTS but not really an ordinary one. It involves quite a lot of skill to control the shaman and use units. Your resource is wood but its not like other RTS (Harvest it to add to your total) instead, when youre building braves take wood from the trees. It's a good, realistic way, and with a trick you can make more grow by taking some wood off. Its only good online and the learning curve can be high, but its great!!

As far as I can tell that game is hosted on a clans server and I highly doubt that Bullfrog made it freeware or abandonware. Therefor: No links to warez.

anyone ever played this online? its pretty class even if half the community have the collective IQ of 6 and the cognitive skills of a pile of rocks, theyre fun to bash and there are some nicer, more cleverer folk on it!
