Hey there!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I'll give it a go anyway!
I'm looking for an old game i used to play about 7ish years ago.

I'll try and explain the image i have in my brain the best i can. Here goes.
You would pick a map, i think they were real life places. Like a map of Europe, Map of the USA, etc.
The game was a top view game where you looked down on the map.
When the game started you were given a territory on the map as well as the AI you were playing with. Where you spawned there was a thing that generated your colour around the marker (If you've ever played starcraft, kind of like the creep that spreads from a hatchery when its place). The AI were also given markers which also would spread the colour around.

The objective of the game was to kill your opponents and take over all their territory. To do this you could send stuff around the map which would generate colour.

It was kind of like you were a virus and you had to spread over the map.

I'm not sure about this, but i think the game was either published by Greenstreetgames or Egames. I could be completely wrong though!

If i can think of any more description i will update this thread.

Been looking for this game for a while! Hope you guys can help me!
Many thanks!

Arianus: Big Huge: Rise of Nations?
No, It wasn't that kind of style. As far as i know it didn't even have a story. It was just a top down view of a basic colourless map which would end up being filled with colour.

It would kind of look like this: http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/europe/euoutl.gif

but more zoomed in.

Thanks though! :)

KavazovAngel: Europa Universalis?
'fraid not =/

Pretty close though!

The game didn't have any sort of story nor characters. It was just simply colours on there own.

Started on a white canvas and the "virus" would spread in a circle from your starting point and you would sent out like rockets to places and they would drop some colour where they crashed.

Feeling like i'm getting warming, Thanks for the quick replies guys!

No, but apparently it's included in this compilation.

My turn. The game I'm looking for is a 2D isometric fantasy action RPG in which one of the companions confirms a command with "Agreed!" (just like in Jagged Alliance 2). Also, the characters might be in hoods and at least one of them could use a bow or a crossbow. I used to play a demo of this game many years ago (back to 2000 and earlier) and now I hope I could find it on GOG.
