It's Good.

Might need a bit more than paint on the graphics front, but the idea is really good and I like it!

Shouldn't the cogs be connected physically, so if you were to turn one all the others would turn too? You could also do ones of different size. Is there any way graphically to make them all DO something, like it was part of a machine or engine?

A way around the cogs/ gears not touching would be to use sprockets and chains as well as gears and make it more of an industrial theme, not simply loose cogs.

This might be a bit premature, but if you do stick with just cogs could you make it have a unique game play feature where each turn the troops shift one spoke around the cog? I don't know if the XML will support it but it could be done similar to an auto deploy.

The XML does not support that at all, cool as it would be.
