Looking for a Win98 Game Title

[ISO-Man]

This game I played was around the start of the Millenium (2000). The OS was Windows 98.

1) The game was online only.
2) It was an over-head game.
3) Each player starts with a city/town/base (whatever it was properly called)
4) 24-Hour Turn-Based.
5) I remember having a Hercules (plane).
6) Over-Head was a map of the 'world' with roads and green areas for land. (similar to CivNet, but more zoomed in)
7) Goal was to capture other players base/city/town.
8) You can build other military vehicles/aircraft.

Can you name that game? I can't

Thanks for the response, but I like to limit the sites/forums I register to. Reddit seems to have an area for everything, but that site is just not for me (as a member). If I never get the answer, I am content with it

ChatGPT thinks it's Metal Knights.

Based on your description, the game you're recalling is likely Metal Knights. Released in the mid-1990s, Metal Knights is an online-only, turn-based strategy game where players manage cities, build military units, and aim to conquer opponents' bases. The game features an overhead map view and includes units like the "Hercules," an unarmed transport plane used to carry units over impassable terrain. Players could also construct various military vehicles and aircraft to expand their armies.

Metal Knights was initially developed for DOS and later updated for Windows 95 and Windows 98, aligning with the time frame you mentioned. The game was known for its 24-hour turn-based system, allowing players to plan and execute strategies within a daily cycle.

If you're interested in revisiting Metal Knights, you might find community forums or retro gaming sites that offer downloads or emulators compatible with modern systems.

WINNER!

Name didn't sound right (confusing it with Shovel Knight). I looked at the history and versions. Soon as I saw the units page, I knew that was the game. I want to implement that game into my retro collection. I'm impressed with ChatGPT, much better than my google and bing results.

Thanks, I used search engine using every possible way to find it
