Looking for a game


I am looking for a game. It is kinda old. C&c or civ style mapping but your troops level as they stay alive through battles. I remember playing this game back in the day before the year 2000 and it was soo cool. I remember your armies started all wimpy but as your troops got more kills they got better armor and weapons but unlike warlord you did't have to get or buy upgrades all of it came from just your troops surviving the battles and getting kills. any help??

I think something like this happened in Alpha Centauri, but that doesn't sound like what you are talking about.

edit, re-reading what you put, I now see mine probably isn't it at all, any way shape or form, but I'll just leave it up anyway.

Army of Empires by Microsoft? Sounds to me I played that game, and it started very simple, I think collecting things here and there, and mostly building. An enemy may come by, you kill him, and at some point, you become more advanced.

thank you. Age, not army. my stories and games are "war" related, army sounded better to me , but yes, Ages of Empire.

C&C generals; wen u play as the gla u loot the things u kill for upgrades for ur vechiles and also with all teams, each kill a unit gets, it goes up a rank, making it alot stronger.
This isnt very old so not the game ur looking for, but it does sound a bit similar...
