Not schiffbruch either, I've played that game, Vattic's right, it's feature complete AFAIK. No, this game was top down, a bit cartoony, the swinging was a bit Zelda-like (you hit the trees and they shook, enough times and they were destroyed). The guy kinda had Popeye arms.

He didn't just have Popeye arms. He was built as fuck.
Well, enough to break down dead trees and also alive trees.

Well, Popeye arms was probably the wrong way to describe it. But if he had a huge torso, his arms were almost as big.

Was this a version of Stranded? I can't remember if there was a top down option at all.

No 3D, just sprites.

Wow this is going to annoy everyone for a while now.

I know this game too. It was called Village or something. o:

edit: It looked like don't starve though, but you had this lumberjack guy. No darkness problem like in don'st starve where you get instakilled but... yeah you kinda built your own village.

A PSX game where you control a little man on a platform of blocks.  A wall of cubes rolls towards you, you plant bombs and try to destroy the wave before your're crushed by their onset.

I think it begins with an "O" or a "D" but ... who knows?

Japanese dev, possibly.  I'm guessing around 1997-8.

edit - Got it...

OK, another one... PSX game, you control a slow moving plane that has to destroy tons of planes, tanks, missiles etc. in different warzones... Kamchatka, French Guiana, Area 51 etc.  There were FMV cutscenes with a tough talking CO and a stripper as a reward for completing the game (which was near impossible, but entering the code to get the stripper was easy).

edit - Remembered.

There was this RTS game for the PC in which playing around with the battlefield (literally, you could make mountains, valleys and flats) played a major part. The story is kinda confusing, but you get more advanced units by merging existing units into more powerful versions.

Check if it's one of these.

Nope. The game sounds very much like Perimeter. And maybe Maelstrom. Be aware that there are at least two games named Maelstrom. One is an Asteroids clone with better graphics, and the other is the RTS.

Maelstrom is technically the sequel, but both games feature terraforming heavily, and both, IIRC, feature the combining nano-units.

Definitely sounded reminiscent of what I remember of Populous.

Agreed.  Populous was exactly like that, but I dont think it really had any story. 

There was a 3d sequel called "promised land" or something like that, but I only played the demo.  Dont know if it had the same flat-land making and unit combining, but it seems likely.

[Mech#4]

It sounds like Populous, except for the "Merging units into more powerful versions" part. In Populous 3: The Beginning you train braves into the desired troops at training huts.

Undiscovered Worlds was the expansion, though it didn't really add much more then a number of new maps in a short campaign. There is a flatten land spell, but that's available in the base game as well.
