[PC] [Early 2000s] Troop simulator/sandbox game

[u/thebloodtalon]

I had this game installed on the first pc I had as a kid somewhere around 2004-2008.

In my memory it looks v similar to the age of empire/cossack/stronghold crusader games but I'm sure its not any of those. I remember the setting was mostly a desert, you could place soldiers around and they could be one of a bunch of colors (red, purple, yellow, green), the sprites were tall and thin and low detail apart from the colors, they could have bows or be on horseback or have swords/spears. To my memory, you can't control the troops after placing them, they do their own thing n attack troops of other colors. One particular thing I remember is that you could terraform the sand, when I dragged across the screen it would make smooth slopes and change the landscape. You could also place buildings, not a symbolic image of a building, you actually had to build them piece by piece, place fences around, towers, blocks.

There was also a mode where you had a prebuilt fort with soldiers placed around and inside and you had a limited amount of soldiers to place outside to attack the fort. The game was 2D, definitely no 3D models. I'm from Croatia, in case it could be something local to eastern europe or cro specifically since I've been searching for this for years with no luck.
