Thats description sounds like Globulation 2, which is packaged as
'glob2', would be worth a look.

I'm not really into games, I'm not very competitive and most leave me
cold so I rarely bother, but I enjoyed investigating this one, where
tribes of autonomous little animated entities compete with one
another. The AI always beat me because I didn't care enough to master
the game, but for me that was irrelevant because I was entertained
just observing this game play itself out regardless of what effort I
made to influence the final outcome.
