I’ve definitely played City of Bywater.

    Prelude To Pestilence (1995, Sean Sayrs)
    Assault On Giant Mountain (1995, Tim Phillips)
    Castle in The Clouds (1995, Jim Foley)

Same. I also definitely played City of Bywater, and I know I had both Assault on Giant Mountain and Castle in The Clouds (this one was giants right?)

I'm stretching my memory too far. I remember the City of Bywater world map, but I can't even remember the world maps for the other scenarios, if I indeed played them.

This abandonware site appears to have a Windows release:

https://www.myabandonware.com/game/realmz-bce

I have no idea what scenarios might be included, and I'm always a little leery about running binaries from random sites outside of a VM

abandonware can be a vector for malware

so I don't know if I should recommend using it, but it's there. There are serial numbers to activate what looks like all the listed scenarios in a comment there, so maybe it comes with all of them.

The company appears to have been defunct for the past 20 years, so I suspect that there isn't going to be any legitimate re-release.

Yeah I downloaded it while we were chatting. I'm going to try and get it running after work.
