''[[War Wind]]'' is a somewhat obscure [[Real Time Strategy]] game developed by [[Dream Forge Intertainment]] [sic] and published by [[Strategic Simulations Inc]] in 1996. The game was highly reminiscent of ''[[Warcraft|Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness]]'' which was then at the height of its popularity. Despite obvious imitation of ''Warcraft II'' and not-too-polished gameplay, the developers managed to recreate some of ''Warcraft II'''s charm, as well as add many interesting things of their own.
The setting of the game was a hybrid of sci-fi and fantasy, taking place on an alien world of Yavaun, home to no less than four sapient species. The first one of them were the Tha'Roon, purple-skinned snakelike humanoids who were quite intelligent but preferred to have underlings to do most of the dirty work for them. To that end they struck an alliance with silicon-based, roughly humanoid (but with some beastlike features) [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race Guys]] called the Obblinox, who became their empire's military wing, and enslaved the half-plant, half-animal Eaggra to become their workers and architects. This went well for the Tha'Roon for quite some time until the Eaggra managed to rebel against their oppressors led by a few capable leaders and began to wage a guerrilla war against the Tha'Roon and the Obblinox. The Obblinox, too, grew unhappy with the conflict because at first they thought the Eaggra too weak to be considered a worthy opponent for them. They also began to question the legitimacy of the Tha'Roon's rule. The fourth side in the conflict were the Shama'Li, a race of cute, tribal humanoids that preferred to stay out of conflict and instead preserve ancient teachings. Their goal is to make sure that all the intelligent races of Yavaun survive. To that end they want to summon a mysterious god named NagaRom.

The second game did not gain a lot of popularity because at that time other, more advanced RTS games were released.
