[Solved] Trying to think of a PC game from ~2006 that was similar to Settlers 4 and had a cheat code to reveal the map (lemmy.ca)

I've been trying to recall a game I played briefly as a kid at a friends house.

I feel like it was similar in style to Settlers 4 with an isometric view, typical click and drag a square around who you want to control, and a focus on building and combat. What makes me think it wasn't Settlers 4 is I don't recall it having that kind of cartoon style and I vividly remember there being some kind of cheat code that would reveal the map.

The reason I say it's around 2006 was because I originally went to buy it in a Future Shop (a Canadian store that was bought by Best Buy) but my mom said I should get Civilizations 4 instead because she recalled my uncle talking about it.

I think that is it.

I had to look up what the early era looked like though.

I meant less cartoon than Settlers 4 with their kind of mascot people. I remembered it look a bit more realistic and slimmer smaller people.

Oh I see! I read that totally wrong, it was pretty early here haha 😂 Well, you can get it on GOG.com for just a few bucks if you don't have a copy already - enjoy the nostalgia, it was a great little series :D
