Question about a game

[DarthzeroP]

I am trying to remember an old ps2 game that I played and I was wondering if anyone else could help. It is a grid turn based strategy where your sole purpose is finding treasure. You can either move the character across the grid, or dig for treasure in that spot. You only have a certain amount of days to find said treasure across the grid. When you come across an enemy on the grid, the game breaks down even more into a combat grid where you fight the enemy. There are orcs and other stuff that you can recruit in the game. Any ideas?

More info on it :

My forgotten game is an old ps2 game. It was a RPG turn based strategy game. What you did was ride on a horse fighting creatures and recruiting people for your squad like thing. When you were riding on your horse it wasn't 1st person it was super *****med out and when you ran into an enemy it would *****m into a mini square-like battlefield. Then you would take turns moving your characters around and attacking. I think you made money by killing enemies and then spent it on buying new people for your squad. I remember you could buy archers and orcs. It was a medieval time game. That's pretty much all I remember.
Thanks for the help!

Warhammer?

I'm guessing Heroes of Might and Magic: Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff. It was released in 2001, your main goal is to find a certain treasure before a certain number of days, you ride around on a horse on the map, enemies appear on the map but battles take place on a square grid, you can hire archers and orcs. Check out a video on YouTube.

If it is the game, you should check out the newer King's Bounty games on the PC as well. They're quite fun.

If that's not the game, tell us any minor details about the game such as graphics style (2D, 3D, anime, realistic, etc.), when you first played it (so we can narrow down by release date), and in what language you played game (many games in the genre are Japanese-only; though a few were English-only).
