First, really sorry for the sparse info I can provide, but memories from those old days are very blurry, since that game came installed in my very first PC.

It was a medieval RTS (I think). Graphics, perhaps similar to Diablo 1 (color, textures, etc).

In the very first single player map (?), you got a small bunch of units (archers, knights, a couple of cavalry units maybe?),
no more than 10-15, I think. You started in a road (or a glade perhaps), and have to reach a town (I believe).

The prince? king? hero? was raiding a brown horse (maybe).

As you progressed through the map, you could hired mercenaries with gold.

And... that is all I can remember!

When you say old, could you be more specific? Even a several year range would probably narrow things down quite a bit. It's been years since I've played the Majesty games, but maybe that's what you are looking for?

Sounds like it could be Warcraft 1 or 2 playing as humans maybe. I know there's definitely knights on horseback in WC2.

Also maybe Lords of the realm....

Sounds like Warlords Battlecry 1

Maybe Myth: The Fallen Lords

When was that? Which year?
And was it a new PC? Or a used one?
If it was a new PC: did the game come as a free gift bundled with the graphics card?

And if that has been the case: do you remember what graphics card your first PC had built in?
Sometimes, if you remember the card, you can find the game(s) that came bundled with that card.

Sorry about that, forgot that small big detail: definitively a 90s game, 1995-2000.

uh... Rage of Mages?

Oh whoa, that Warlords looks so promising! There are other games that you know with similar visual style?

Not an RTS, but everything else could fit the description:

Heroes of Might and Magic III?

Oh man, you're making me doubt now! I really hope I'm not mixing memories because Warlords fits so well (Tzar a lil bit)... I need to watch the whole walkthrough to see if I can find that mission I remember playing.

Another fantasy RTS from the right era, but I haven't played it so I don't know about the other details: https://www.gog.com/en/game/total_annihilation_kingdoms

That's the 1st campaign's 1st mission from HoMM III.

Can't you remember anything else from it?

Sadly, I cant recall nothing more because I played just that one mission, before losing all my HD data.

OK, marking Syphon72 as the answer, but thank you all for your suggestions!!!
