This sounds a lot like Heroes of Might and Magic (maybe III), based on the timeframe you've given.
Alright, tell me if you guys know what this game is. I only saw a bit of it once, very long ago (2002-2005, somewhere in there). It was for PC, a fantasy turn-based strategy, with realistic, almost FMV-like sprites. Sort of like Pokemon, in a way. You had five monsters, and you fought other monsters that you came across, and you could convert them to your side somehow. The only two monsters I remember were a gold dragon and men made of fire (the battle that stands out were the party versus two of them, and there was a fire-man on the team afterwards.
