Cool, the screenshot reminds me of a game I played in the Apple II days. Anyone remember the name of that one? "Age of war" could be pretty close, but I can't find anything about it online.

That's exactly what I thought of! Found out about it in like grade school Computer Lab
Sorry can't say I know of it, but you've got me curious if you ever remember it.
I think it might be this one: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=the+ancient+art+of+war+game+apple&iar=images
Seems to be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ancient_Art_of_War
I can see the similarity. That game looks a bit like Heroes of Might and Magic as well.
Over the past week I've
- Re-worked the units and building into a more dynamic and less hardcoded system.
- Made some minor UI changes
- Started adding resources
- AI can now build buildings
- Added ability to destroy buildings, allowing you to free up tiles for future improvements
- Added end match information, along with a tracker showing upcoming waves and allowing for selecting rewards
This week I've
- Made buildings generate resources on their own timers, allowing for future upgrading or modifying of buildings to produce faster, better, stronger
- Re-wrote the unit script, it's 90% complete. Having some issues with projectiles and referencing deleted nodes.
- Worked on the post-round screen, showing what levels are coming up and offering different rewards based on the round.
- Started working on Events system, a set of narrative events similar to Crusader Kings series.
- Units now wear the colors of their team
- Slight UI changes and toolboxes added
