okay, so i have been trying to find a game i used to play in the computer lab at school way back in the day. It was a turn based rpg game that was octagon tiled movement. it had knights, mages, archers, dragons and creatures. it was a 2d platform.

the biggest thing i can remember is when you played with an archer, warrior or wizard you gained experience and could level up. when you reached a certain lvl the character could change into bigger classes.
EXAMPLES.
wizard could turn into a white mage or red mage
archer could turn into a scout or expert archer
warrior could turn into a knight or paladin
cavalry could turn into a horsed knight or horsed paladin

it was a really cool game i just cannot remember the title.

i dont think it was available on any platform except PC

First thing came into my mind is Disciples 1.
There are hexagon (not octa though) movement tiles. Your soldiers levelled up the same way you described.
Squire -> Knight -> Paladin
Acolyte -> White mage -> somethingicantremember
Archer -> Marksman -> Badassmarksman
and so on. It kinda looks like Heroes of might and magic.

Sounds like... Ogre Battle. There's at least 2 versions of this, and an extremely similar game on Linux. Depending on the time frame you played in your old computer lab, the Linux one is a viable option... not sure about the name, but if you are certain it's that one I have a friend who still plays that I can ask. Could also have been Final Fantasy Tactics, which is not PC exclusive.
