I play this game at 2001. So it release earlier than 2001. I can tell a lot of information about this game:
-This game is a pc real time strategy game, made by SoftStar(not sure). The background is in middle ages.
-The game will play intro video when you start the game. What i remember is a lot of cannon on the wall, shoots one by one like people wave. And the end of intro shows 4 Korean word.
-Before you start a game, you can choose either red,blue or yellow army. The game?s logic is like red alert, starcraft that when you finish a mission, you go to next map. Red army?s first map is in snow environment(not sure).
-You need to fight other army to win a map. But the map may have natural animals to fight too. They are aggressive. Will attack you and your opponent. When you kill animal with melee unit, you will gain food. There have at least 3 type of animals which is wolf,tiger,bear(very sure this three) or maybe i miss someone.
-About the mini map, it is on right side. It acts like regular rts game. The dots on the map will show the unit in the map. Red color dots for red army unit, blue for blue.etc . gray dots for animals. It will first cover the map with dark clouds until your army explore to clear the cloud. When unit receiving damage, it will spark with switching green color and normal color in the mini map(very sure).
-Instead of machines(cannon and kite.etc) and animals only have life(green bar), units have stamina to sustain their attack. Some units have special abilities can active by player and cost stamina. For example, movement speed, attack speed.(pretty sure this two)
-About resources, the game have food and gold. Different unit will cost different amount of food. When all the food consumed, units will take damage every period of time until hp reach to 0 and die instead of machines unit cost 0 food.
-The game have worker. It acts like regular rts game that can build,gather resource,repair??They can gather gold from gold mine and food from wheat field. Player only can build gold mine on an area which have a lot of yellow pixel dots on the land. You can mine enemy's mine also they can mine yours. You can close the mine and trap all the workers in the mine. Player don?t need to build wheat field and the wheat will grow at period of time. When gold mine depleted, it automatically destroy. Wheat field never stop grow. Player cannot build buildings on wheat field unless the field is harvested. After build on harvested field, wheat will still grow but it is unable to harvest again until enemy destroy the building and free the area. The game also have market(may not actually called ?market?) to build and able to exchange gold to food with 1:2 ratios(not sure).
-The game will rain at random time. Rain also can cause by some unit?s special ability. It has a glitch that when the natural rain occurs then player active the unit?s rain ability and stop casting, the rain will stop. It is useful when player have flying units. Flying units will take damage everytime when it is raining(very sure).
-instead of machine unit, when unit dies, it will drop a bone and release a soul. When there have multi unit die at a same grid of area, the bone will stack up and show the amount of how many bones. Maximum is 6 bones that we can see(not sure). But the actual bones amount is not affect by the texture. Bones will disappear at a period of time. Worker can build a building that can produce super unit but it need a lot of bones. player need to call the worker get the bones and haul it to the building. When bone value reached the threshold, the super unit will automatically created. I remember red army is dragon, blue is white tiger, yellow is turtle.
- The soul will fly away quickly when unit dies instead the map have a building which will attract and collect the souls. That building can store the souls and use them to make rain and snowslide and something else i don?t remember. The building have maximum capacity of souls.
-red army?s dragon flies very fast and able to dodge any kind of projectile when traveling. I always use it to clear all the black cloud on the map.
- About normal units, red army have a unit that ride black horse and equip with Dragon Crescent and it looks like China Guan Yu. Blue army also have a unit ride black horse but equip morning star as weapon. And have another unit ride white horse and shoot arrows.
-The game has gold glitch. when the worker is building a structure, structure?s hp will raise like a process bar. you can press the cancel button to stop building. It returns the gold cost. The glitch part is when we build a structure have more than 1000 hp(e.g. 1500), when it reach over 1000 hp(e.g. 1200/1500), then player click cancel, it only decrease the hp by 1000(1200>200). And the worker will still build the structure and finish it at 500/1500 hp. It also return the gold. Which means when player double click cancel at building in progress structure that over 1000 hp, it returns double gold cost.
-Some map have sea. Player can build ship to transport ground units.
-The game also cannot build more units if reach the maximum unit threshold.
I may forget something to tell you guys. Please feel free to ask me more if you not very sure some part. Thanks~
