I am trying to remember a game likely about 8-10 years old.
It was a game where you played something like an RTS but you controlled characters that were very tiny compared to your surroundings.
there was a little vehicle that you had to produce electricity for your other units cars and you had a home base that you were trying to build up.
It was a cute little game that I played for some time but never finished.
I cannot remember the name of it though.

No not Battle Bugs, but thanks.
Many of these exist.
I made one way, way back (page 70)... http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/help_me_remember_this_game/_/1]

Battle Bugs is so awesome, but difficult. Too bad once you finish the game, there's nothing else to make you replay the game, except for nostalgia's sake

There's a thread for this.

You are much too late. Read the thread before posting ;-)

HRM.
I was half asleep when I did. Think I mistook the link for something else.

Battle Bugs sounds so cool. Because of that badass name.
