looks neat!

Tiny bit of a necro, but I remember this referral-based game which I believe was on the board a while back but I can't seem to find it.

The game's name was something akin to "Little Soldiers" or "Tiny Army", and it consisted of you creating an "army" by giving it a name, and upgrading 2d soldiers to go on PvP battles with other players, or PvE battles against things like rats. Later in the game you could unlock little helicopters or jeeps, etc, for some of your soldiers.

That would be Minitroopers. Fun little game, but as all games of its kind, not terribly engaging in the long run.

Two games sprung in my mind lately and I didn't have much luck finding them so:

1) A sci-fi game that I played in Polish language. It was about human exploration mothership that landed in a planet in a far-away space system and you had to develop technologies and exterminate 'them' from the planet. When you did, your mothership could take off the planet and land on another, with different map features, enemies and techs to discovery. I remember that there was 'Academy', that created your machinegun grunts, and that you had to use energy transfer posts to deliver power to your outposts away from mothership.

2) A tycoon about space-station resort. I remember it was divided into 'biosphere' that grew your food/resources and main area where guests stayed. There was plenty of alien races to come and enjoy/work at your resort.

I may be misremembering, but that one sounds like Startopia.

I remember a post apocalyptic rougelike made by someone who also made dwarffortress mods. It was Ascii only I recall and you started in a shelter and were supposed to go find stuff outside.

I would play that in a heartbeat.

Cataclysm? Or the sorta-remake Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead?

As a proud Cataclysm "survivor" I can confirm it is indeed cataclysm.

How is the game now that the Dark Days developer has more or less taken over the project? 

I really enjoyed the original game because it was simple and gritty, but I stayed away from the mods because the seemed to have a lot of feature-creep and more fantastic elements.  I think the original feature list for Dark Days looked like they expanded the vehicle and base building parts of the game?

How are NPC interactions?  Did factions ever make it into the game?

Yeah, I've checked the title and it's exactly the game I was thinking about

The 1st still mystery, though...

The 1st still mystery, though...

Other than the machinegun grunts it sounds a lot like the Creeper World series.

[Jiharo]

It also could be Perimeter, the game by which Creeper World was^{[citation needed]} could be inspired.

[Haspen]

Nah, it's neither. I think the game I'm thinking about is much older than that (2000? Late nineties? not sure)

[Sean Mirrsen]

Maybe it was something out the Earth series, by Reality Pump (a Polish developer)? I know Earth 2150 had the power-grid mechanic, but if there were machinegun grunts it'd have to be either Earth 2140 (which I haven't played), or Earth 2160(which is a bit more modern). Earth 2150 series has only robots, tanks, aircraft, and ships. No infantry.
