Today the first real highlight of turn based strategy gaming this year has been released: Warlock - Master Of The Arcane.
It's a fantasy strategy game with partially similar mechanics like Civilization. It uses a hex based grid, and besides building up your fantasy army with mages, dwarfes and other creatures, empire management is also an important part. You build cities, improve these cities and the surrounding, conduct diplomacy, and aim to achieve one of four different types of victory.
The game requires a dual core computer with at least 2 GB RAM, a GeForce GT240 and Windows Vista (XP not supported; users note that it still works). A demo can be tested via Steam, which is also used as DRM. The price is 19.99€/$.
