I'm currently playing Warlock: Master of the Arcane. On my first map, medium size, normal difficulty, cylinder world with 3 other planes and 4 rivals. I'm playing as a default mage, Miralbus the Hat.
The game overall is incredible for the price. ($20 with $2 DLC for more mage options.) Has a very Civ5 feel to it with additional systems. Some of the quality lacks, such as voice acting and no advanced hints, while other parts excel, like the unit variety and spell system. I'm on turn 102 and in the process of crushing Saint Nicholas. He sends me a peace treaty every turn, offering gold and mana. I would rather just take all of his cities to bolster my economy, which almost started posting losses about a dozen turns ago.
