Warlock 2 is a New Game from Paradox Interactive. It's fun .. and even feels like a a Civ 5 version of Fall from Heaven 2.
It's the same company who Crusader Kings 2 (which if you haven't tried it, has some fantastic Dynasty Mechanics).
So I Installed Warlock 2 on the 11th (3 days ago) and have been playing it pretty much since then
Unfortunately, I just beat the game on "Impossible" Difficulty. I say unfortunately because paradox also had problems making Crusader Kings 2 even halfway difficult.
I'll still be playing Warlock 2 for the next week or so, but much like Crusader Kings 2, it's just not balanced or difficult enough. The mechanics are too easy to break.
That's Why I always come back to Civ 4 BtS. It's the balancing, the mechanics, and the sheer replay-ability. When I open up a Turn based strategy game on "Deity" or "Impossible" I don't want to win on my first attempt. And when I lose, I dont' want it to be because of silly RnGs (but losses to RnGs are OK).
I want it to be because my strategy / tactics were not good enough to win but a player who thought through the complexities of the Game could have. Sure Civ 4 has it's flaws, but I'm crossing my fingers that Civ 6 will be the true successor.
