Hello!
This game is controlled from above, with a "god-view". You'd be able to pick stuff up and drop them with a big hand, like skunks, stones and your little dudes that you were controlling.
There were 4 different assignments which you could give to your people, and they'd change the color on their clothes.
I think it was Red for builder, White for researcher, Green for soldier and Blue for engineer?
You would have many of these little dudes, goal was to wipe out the other team.
I remember vaguely that if you had researchers in houses you built, and dropped items on the house (like a cow, skunk or stone), you'd start researching abilities..
What is this game?
EDIT: It's for the PC. The small guys had either big eyes or big noses (or even both).
