This game is a real time strategy. It takes place in the skies. Your territory was islands that float in the sky. You have territory you control and the computer or other players have territory. You expand until you get close enough to theirs. There was some sort of resource system, something you had to mine or collect. Eventually you start building weapons to attack opponents.

I had thought the title was Nimbus(Nimbus of course referring to the clouds the game took place) but can find no reference to it online.
The weapons have effects and ranges that come into gameplay decisions. Most weapons have a weather related theme to them.

I remember a sun cannon(I think it was sun) The sun cannon could only fire in cardinal directions like N E S W. It would rotate. If an enemy was diagonal it could not hit it and you would have to destroy it. It would crumble when sold/destroyed.

Then another weapon like a rain generator which would attack in a small circle from where you place it.

NetStorm: Islands At War?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetStorm:_Islands_At_War takes place in a world called "Nimbus"

I've a hunch about it from seeing info about the game, answering about it in http://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=98561 before.

Ha, yeah, http://everything2.com/title/Netstorm mentions a sun cannon only firing N S E W.
