I must run off to training a couple minutes from now so I'll let anyone take this turn.
Will be back with a riddle within max 24 hours if no one at all posts anything but surely that won't be necessary, fire up your MS Paints and mouses etc :)

Thanks Adam for taking the thread out of its slump!

I'll top AdamR's 12 seconds with a 10 second drawing though admittedly much easier to guess than his. :D

Diablo II, Wirts leg?

Quit smoking dope. :p

Yeah. Tough huh? :P
You're turn.

Here it is! Should not be hard I hope.

Settlers?
(the little figure looks like a Roman soldier wearing a galea)

Soldier? And here I thought it looked like a long haired, shapely, voluptuous woman.

A woman? Now that I look at it, it seems more like a person carrying two giant wiener sausages on their head, carrying said wiener sausages to giant hot dog spikes, one of which lies in enemy territory. No offense meant, it's just that I've played many strategy/managerial games where people carry around resources (Anno 1503 etc).

Haha, no offense taken, but no sausages either.

It's a red head woman and she is a soldier. She is not so much profoundly voluptous but iconic to the game. That's no matter in the game, just a bad, hastily sketch.

Is it Tania in Red Alert ?

Nope.

Another hint, the black structures in the image are in the name of the particular game genre.

Okay, then it's a Tower Defense game and the ONLY game I recall with a female lead, is Sanctum.

Got it!

Sweet! I'll make a pic when I get home from work in a few hours.
