Your on the right track. The bard's tale was the first three. The other was...umph....a two word title with the second letter in the first word an r and the second word an a.

Okay, I know what your talking about but can't remember the title. Crud, if I was home I could look in my C-64 box and pull it out already....

Is it cheating to call home and have someone rummage through a box and tell you the title?

Lucky, he flat out told us it was the game right after the three Bard's Tales.  Does this mean I broke my NCAA world record losing streak in this game?

Argh! I actually have one ready with screenshots and everything but my internet provider has been down since last Wednesday and I have to post from work.
Alright, VERBAL clue.
1) It was available for the C64 in the 80's and was a fairly simple yet popular war game.

We already had Theatre Europe, so it can't be that.

I remember Empire, I really liked that game but that was quite awhile after this one. Not Theatre Europe or chess.
2) It had territories and is the first game I can remember that had a map editor for you to make your own maps and territories to fight over.

Sorry, I mean Wargame construction set. UMS was the same thing only later. I still get them confused.

Could it be some sort of version of Risk? (I haven't heard of those in C64 though...)

No, but as you can see, I posted the guess at about the same time as you posted clue two. I didn't see it.

No to all the above.
3) It had resources with which you fought over and used to build units. Iron, Gold, and Pastureland were three of the resources.

I think I've played a pc-conversion of that kind of game. I believe the name of the game was 'Stronghold'... or am I completely lost?

That's a recent game. However, I sure can't think of a C64 era game that fits those clues.

was it one of the early versions of 'Vikings - fields of conquest' - i played and loved the amiga version, but i believe there were earlier versions that may have started on the 8bits?
Link
This is one link to the amiga english version(it had a german version too)
EDIT: to get to the page i linked to you have to jump through two hoops - click 'Skip' to get through the adverts on both Apolyton and 'Gameszone'(whatever it is) if you get them.

Link didn't work. This is the first video game I can remember that had resources (outside of M.U.L.E) that dictated the military troops you could build. I'm amazed no one has guessed it, I thought it was easy.
4) It allowed up to four players and their territory was displayed by different colors.
Next clue will be a screenshot.

Something reminds me of "The Ancient Art of War" but it doesn't really fit the clues altogether.
