Seemed interesting and I'm kinda curious if anyone might know what it was. I'm fuzzy on a lot of the details since it had been a long time and I only played very briefly, but here goes:

1. I played it on demo at an electronics store Comp USA) and I remember playing the Donkey Kong 64 display on that same trip, so that should give you a good idea of how old the game is.

2. Almost positive it was an RTS, but it kinda felt vaguely like whtever genre those Marvel Ultimate Alliance games are.

3. For PC.

4. The graphics were bigger than in some strategy games. It was possible to click a single unit and give them orders. You had a handful of units instead of like an army or whatever.

5. For some reason it was possible to attack your own allies, and they wouldn't fight back (Dad didn't understand how to play and used one dude to kill all the others before the monsters even showed up, lol).

6. You could specify formations, like circle the enemy or etc. I'm sure most RTS have this feature but just in case it might rule something out.

7. I want to say it was like medieval times or so, but with monsters for enemies.

8. I thiiiiiiiink the graphics were all 2D but it might have been simple models or maybe pre-rendered ones, though I'm almost certain the background (grass, etc) was 2D and completely flat like in old-school action adventure games.

That's about all I remember.

Total Annihilation: Kingdoms?
Seven Kingdoms II: The Fryhtan Wars?

I'm not very knowledgeable on RTS games, but I Googled "RTS games 1999" and those might fit.

Yeah, might have been TA Kingdoms. Screenshots look about right.

Wasn't Seven Kingdoms II because it definitely wasn't isometric in perspective.
