Bay 12 Games Forum

Warning, moderate sized wall of text ahead.

There are 2 different games that I'm looking for.

The first game I remember playing at a game website called bonus.com (which has now been replaced by some kind of lottery website *sadface*) and it went something like this.

You first start out by customizing your character by choosing your race (human, elf, halfling, dwarf) and choosing your class (cleric, fighter, mage, thief). You then customize your stats of strength, endurance, speed, and magic(?) which will later influence your future stat growths as you progress through the game.

Most of the events and descriptions are text based. The only graphics of the game are drawn picture slides of the town, the town outskirts, and the various monsters and enemies and bosses that you meet.

Every time you defeat a boss, you will face stronger and more powerful enemies.

Now I'm not completely certain, but I believe the bosses were:
1. A barbarian lady person
2. A red dragon
3. A warlock
4. Some big heavy fighting creature
...
Until the end when you have to fight this mysterious shadow figure boss who I believe transforms into different things  once its health grows low enough.

..........

Now the second game might be a bit less heard of.
I remember it was a turn-based tactics sort of game where you control a party of ~4 (or was it 5?) characters to take on different opponents on a tile-based map.
The graphics were simple and if I remember correctly, they were like sprites moving around on a grid.

Each unit had its own hp amount as well as something similar to a shield amount (which I believed the game called "focus" or "defense" or something along the lines of those). A unit's "defense" was the first thing that took damage and it would recover by 10 per turn, but once it reaches 0, any incoming damage would directly hurt the unit's hp (similar to how starcraft protoss shields work).

A unit had 2 basic physical abilities. "slug" (punch the opponent), and "grapple" (reduce the opponent's movement). More abilities and spells could be learned later on.

But that's all I remember about these games.

Anyone happen to know what these games might be?
I remember playing them nearly 10 years ago, so I can't really remember their names anymore.

Well it's actually 2 different games that I'm looking for.

wow, this is definitely a succession with a loooooooooooong history (compared to most others I've seen).

quite amazing, truly quite amazing.

That's quite...
Wow

As much as I appreciate !!SCIENCE!!, the answer is no.
You cannot starve sieges.

darn ninja'd

Ah finally got the upload up here.
To be honest, the turn felt rather weird since I always had a conflicting feeling on whether I should strengthen the fort or ruin it.

Oh and AnimaRytak, hope it won't bother you too much, but I'd like to see what the goblin vs demon combat arena that I built looks like with your mod, and if it is still rotting away.
