    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

      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

        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.

      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.

        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.

          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
