It plays like a age of empire 2, but it's wild west setting with a nice sepia colorstyle, historical campaign and even a level editor.
It's fun to play it despite some features which are not clearly explained which are interesting such as moral or experience for the units, or the robbery.
It would need a community to patch it and make it run like before on modern machines while fixing bugs.
I wish the game could be more known and explored because it worthes it
I loved this game!! I used to come home from school and play this every day. I put hundreds of hours into this when I was a kid. I thought this was on GOG already and was disappointed when it wasn't. I have been looking to play this game again for years.
A beloved childhood game, and it definitely could use some help to run on modern machines.
I loved playing as the Mexican faction, they had the biggest cannons.
If it's able to be brought to GOG, do make sure to get the expansion since it has a lot of game balance and engine fixes!
If you want to have fun playing a classic early 2000s RTS game, then America: No Peace Beyond The Line is that game. I played this game a lot when I was a kid. To me, what made this game fun to play was how certain units of each faction had certain abilities; like herding livestock, being capable of seeing camouflaged units or spike pits, or hijacking transport wagons and robbing banks or Catholic missions. This game is sort of unique, a lot of other games are either settlement building/management or just action, this game is a hybrid of the two. I remember that in a lot of the missions, you had to establishment a new settlement or expand a small existing one, defend your settlement from attacks from the other factions, and go achieve the mission objective, which usually was you train a militia or a small army and go "take out" the leader of another faction or destroy the headquarters building. When your civilian units take wood to the sawmill or food to the farm, those resources are automatically in your inventory, but when they take gold to the gold warehouse, transport wagons have to haul the gold from the gold warehouse to your headquarters building in order for you to get the gold in your inventory. There is a risk that your transport wagons could be hijacked by another faction, but you can hijack their's as well. Rifles and horses are also resources in the game. I do remember that there were a few minor glitches in this game, but they never bothered me a lot. I have not played this game in many years and yearn to play it again. I have tried to download this game from other lesser known websites, but the download would not even start with any of them. If GOG can blow the dust off of this good old classic and bring it back to life, I would greatly appreciate it and I am sure a lot of other folks would too.

Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles.
The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.Fantasy

Kagero: Deception IIShifting the viewpoint to third-person and the emphasis to trap combos, Kagero: Deception II formed the foundation of current Deception titles and would be built upon in future titles, coming out two years after its predecessor. In it, players assume the role of Millennia, a young girl being used as a puppet and guard for a race known as Timenoids (or TMD, as the game abbreviates their race's name), who are like humans except immortal, and whose power is desired by the humans whose lives they govern. Millennia finds herself in the middle of the war between her own race and her captors, with her chosen side dictated by the player. One of the endings to the game heavily implies that Kagero is a prequel to Tecmo's Deception, and that Millennia will grow up to become Astarte from the first game; this interpretation is supported by the fact that naming the main character in Kagero "Astarte" lets you start with a hefty sum of extra Ark (the game's currency). However, Tecmo has not made it clear if that ending is canon.
The change in how traps functioned gave this game a much more strategic edge than the first game, with traps able to interact with one another in long strings that could be likened to Rube Goldberg set-ups, just much more lethal and involving other people. Instead of using items such as medicinal herbs, healing was accomplished via glowing blue crystals called "loons" which could only be touched once before breaking, never to be used again in a given chapter. Trap improvement was conducted by using the points earned after successfully killing each invader, called Ark, and by following a somewhat logical "tree"—improving an Arrow Slit after a Lightning Rod was created could make a Laser Arrow, for instance. Six secret traps (one of which depicted Suezo, a popular monster from Tecmo's own Monster Rancher titles) could be unlocked in future replays by completing the game and achieving all four endings in the game, as well. Traps, when constructed, could be used as often as the player liked, but required a recharge time between uses in any given level. Game saves are one block in size.Action Fantasy Horror
