Hand of Odd struck me as the kind of game with an almost Simcity focus on base-building, though on a smaller scale, of course. You'd be down there directing them personally. The battling would be there to further the ends of the village rather than the base-building be there for the purposes of the battling. Not a military operation, in other words.
