Looking for two old pc games!

    Hey,

    This is a total shot in the dark but I'm wondering if anyone can remember two old strategy games from back in the windows 95/98 days!

    I remember getting a demo of both with some pc magazine like pc gamer or something.

    1) the first one you had to build a town like age of empires but the villagers use to have affairs, get married and murder other villagers. The demo was over after a point where these wolves came down from an area and attacked your village.

    2) The 2nd was kinda based in the clouds, you had to build these bridges and create windmills to source energy and create expand and stuff.

    I know this isnt alot to go on but it's all I can remember and can't remember the names!

    Anyone got any ideas?

    The 2nd will be pretty easy to pin down. I know what you're talking about but never played it, only seen it played.

    Does anyone remember a game where you piloted a big floating island in third person and destroyed other floating islands to add weapons and mass to your own?

    I think it had the word 'Lode' in it

    Nope, it was Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies.
