Old PC strategy game

[marcipaans]

I don't know how old it is but I remember picking it up in a store with a friend 7-8 years ago.

I thought the name of it was Outlaw but my googling skills are terrible or it isn't named like that.

I don't remember pretty much anything besides it being futuristic type and having 2 resource types. Something like Warhammer 40k but without strategic points or any sort.

I am pretty confident that the first part of the name of that game started with "Out-". If not "Out-" then definitely with a letter "O".

And I really doubt it was a blockbuster. Might as well be the worst strategy game ever created. But back then it didn't even matter as long as there were pretty pictures and somehow enjoyed it. Not that I was aware of such a thing as "reviews" back then anyway.

Total Annihilation? <3

No. Not that old. It was somewhat decent in 3D.

Would it happen to be Emperor: Battle for dune?

Seems to fit his description and theres no RTS games that begin with O that fit his description

YES!@@!
I loved that game.
It was the first real-time strategy that I played. Oh my god - Leviathan was so pro (a player).

@Everyone-else: FOR SHAME!

@marcipaans:
- were the two resources red ore and gold ore?
- did you have to 'smelt' them into bars?
- did your colonists starve if you didn't grow enough food for them in your "Agridomes"?
- was the power-generator called a "Tokamak"?
- Was the longest-range unit in the game called a "Thor's Hammer"?
- Did the cheapest unit move faster than all other units (except scouts) and was called the "lynx"?
- Could you turn-off your lights during night time to enter 'stealth' mode?
- Were there two different factions, named "Plymouth" and, "Eden"?

Nope... Never heard of it

Edit: Name was http://www.outpostuniverse.net/

[marcipaans]

None of those are.

@Phenoca

I honestly can't answer those questions as I don't have such detailed memories

Might be, might not. However, I am sure about the games name. It is possible that it isn't even a title from a big publisher, not even a global release. Maybe some local or national creation which never got to see the daylight abroad, in the whole world.

Could it have been The Outforce? http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/166/166023p1.html
