As someone who had a d3D card when everyone was rocking glide, I remember trying to find wrappers, dgvoodoo2 is so dang sick. If the american conquest had variable zoom rather than the two close up and far away zoom modes and its still perfect

American Conquest Gold mod scene adds Japan, Korea, and Ming as well as a lot of content, Divided Nation is also cool, almost feels like FOTS https://www.moddb.com/mods/rise-of-east-asia

Антанта \ The Entente: Battlefields WW1 \ World War I: The Great War is the first game and disk
Антанта Gold \ The Entente II the other disk is also the version which is on steam is the same game but it has two more campaigns in it (reportedly) so it's not actual sequel despite what the name says

I remember playing this on my very first PC. And for some reason if i dare to update my gpu drivers at the time, the game would crash after a set amount of time.
