A couple weeks ago I ran across this little browser game, pretty simple but surprisingly fun.
Basic premise is that you start with one guy and send him into fights gaining money which you use to buy more troops or upgrade them with skills & weapons.
Here are my two armies:
1st Rildarian
2nd Rildarian
If you want to try it out
just go here and select your first guy.
(Yes that is a referral link but you have to sign up via someone elses army and If you use it, not only do I get a bit of money to upgrade my troops but I can use your first soldier in raids)
