I don't mean to be critical or cynical, but there's several implementations of the 3D tic-tac-toe concept out there:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubic
http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/3-...oe/screenshots
As you can see, these games aren't immediately easy to distinguish from one another in terms of mechanics...and there could be a dozen or more versions which aren't recorded anywhere on the internet.
If any of the games above look familiar to you (not necessarily the individual games but how they choose to portray the cube/four boards), that might be helpful.
hey, wait a second...
I didn't realize this until just now (argh), but the variation of Kingdom on that Mobygames list and one I passed over yesterday are actually different, since the one I found is a DOS version with a bit of new content. I disregarded it at the time because....well, I wasn't really paying attention, I guess. Bah.

If you're looking for a Sumer game variant, this could be it, but there doesn't seem to be anything about garrisons. Perhaps that was yet another game...?
