[PC][2000-2005ish] Top down simple strategy game with grid, cartooney style

Genre: Strategy

Estimated year of release: 2000-2005 EDIT: actually this might have been just pre-millenium. It's really hard to say, I barely remember it!

Graphics/art style: cartoon style with each faction having a simple color to differentiate them. Reminiscent of a flash game but I don't think it was flash based.

Notable characters: NA

Notable gameplay mechanics: Simple, top down grid strategy game. Grid was square aligned and not isometric/diagonal. May have been turn based. Individual units fought on the same grid, there was no separate battlemap. Think older civ game style but even more basic.

I never got to play the full version, but I think the gameplay was based on capturing cities which generated a fixed income and you would choose what units to build and send out. This part is fuzzy though.

Had fog of war.

I THINK it only had three units: tanks, planes, infantry.

Other details: this game also had a screensaver version where the AI would just play.

I thought it was "TinyWarz" but the results I get are not it.

This game was NOT an MMO. Unsure if it even supported multiplayer.

The shareware version let you play out to maybe a hundred turns?

PS: it is not advance wars. This was a PC game and was pretty obscure. As said the one very notable thing was the screensaver version where just AI would play.
