NetStorm: Islands at War

NetStorm takes place in the world of Nimbus, a planet whose crust has been sent floating off in to the atmosphere by the never-ending battles between the three god-like beings called "The Furies", representing Wind, Rain and Thunder.

The people now live on small floating islands, each with its own high priest; their only link to their patron Fury. The islands battle each other in order to capture and sacrifice the priests of their enemies to their own Fury so they may gain knowledge and power.

The gameplay itself is relatively simple but quite innovative for its time, as few moving units are used, in contrast to other real-time strategy games, such as Command & Conquer.

The battle area consists of a number of islands, each one controlled by an individual player. Each player has a priest unit which the enemy has to capture and sacrifice using their own priest.
