Great game with some techinal issues

I bought this back in the day and have nothing but fond memories. It's a fast-paced fantasy RTS with some original/weird elements and superb voice acting. The graphics engine was literally ahead of its time, as the "Insane" graphics setting was pretty much unplayable back then, yet a few years later the hardware had caught up enough to make that setting viable. That being said, I have to remove one star due to the technical problems on modern rigs. While you can run the GOG version out-of-the-box, there are serious problems with the AI. The AI just won't do much at all, making it pointless to play the game vs the AI - unless you as a customer fix the problem yourself. As strange as it might sound, the issue is the frame rate; if it's "too high", the AI will fail to function properly. Make sure that the game's using a refresh rate of 60 Hz or lower, either by simply (temporarily) changing the Desktop refresh rate or using a utility that takes care of such things automatically. Nvidia's Control Panel did not solve the problem, however.

Windows 7 64bit

I have a bit of trouble playing this game, for anyone else that wants to play it and has trouble, run the game in compatibility mode for Windows Vista(SP2) then literally keep launching the game till it works, for some reason it will keep crashing 8-9 times then actually work. Overall this game is really nice and a classic, just thought i would wrote this to give some help on people wanting to run the game.

Drugs&Dragons

Well, malformed dragons, deformed pigs, low-poly monsters from before low-poly was cool. But, still, an unforgetable game which makes you want more. Solid gameplay, fun lore and great A+ voice acting (some of them from the Legacy of Kain franchise and others like Tim Curry) as well as character design out of this world. It all feels like a weird drug induced dream inside what was suppose to be a fantasy setting. It is one of those unique gems, which stand out. It deserves some of your time.

Best game I've ever played

It's been nearly 20 years and this is still the bext game I've ever played. Ubique gameplay - TPP RTS, sort of similar to which I've only seen in Mount&Blade. Hoverver, in Sacrifice the units are way more varied and you are not playing as just a buffed-up version of one of your soldiers, but as a wizzard, and you get to whield some of the most interesting and spectacular spells ever. Great atmosphere - honestly, there are a few games that feel remotely as good Non-linear story - the story is uniquely told from the endgame perspective - your character is taking a stroll with one of the important NPCs through the landscape resulting from the events of the game and tells them how it came to be, and you play those "stories". Before each mission you choose which god you will serve and they each have a diffrent mission, new unit and new spell AND have a significantly diffrent impact on the story. Seriously, this is more non-linear that Mars Effect (note: I only played 1 & 2) Souls mechanic - Each units costs you souls to summon, the only way you get more of them is to convert fallen enemies before the enemy wizzard can get to them - then you get 1 they loose one. Is it a runaway snowball mechanic? Yes, the only thing what is balancing it out is the friendly fire - the afore mentioned magic system is so destructive it must be used very carefoully not to kill half of your own army, but if you have far less troops - well - that makes things easier. And there is friendly fire between units as well, so if you don't manage thm well thy'll kill one another as well. With all this it is very satisfying to snowball AI, which was bullying you in early game in the campain and there is also multiplayer - which I've heard is good, but sadly haven't had a chance to play it much myself.
