Warlock: The MAster of the Arcane

Flying werewolves wearing top hats fighting donkey-knights by a cave made out of cheese. That just happened.

The new patch has beefed up towers and cities. In the early game they are now quite painful. By the late game they are still little better than gnats biting at my uber units, but I definitely had to be more cautious in the first 100 turns. That's a welcome tweak.

I've now won on the second highest difficulty. The AI had a lot more units and was a bit smarter in how it used them. Once again, a small collection of heavily upgraded and buffed units proved the key. The AI does not dispel my buffs, and it doesn't upgrade its own units to the same degree. By the time I have a bunch of magic weapons, armour and health regen on mid-tier units like minotaurs there's nothing which can challenge me. Still, half the fun is getting to that point. The other half is stomping the computer with flying top-hatted werewolves.

Don't be dissing the cheese caves! They give magic AND food. :D

Nothing can steal the pumpkin shrine's place in my heart. Hall o'Win buff, plus elemental regen spell, plus regen level perk equals unstoppable units. Sometimes I throw in vampiric weapons for regen overkill.

Pfft. Red Dragons are all I need. Half the fun is trying to get them.

If you are remotely interested in what it does, yes!

If you want to know what the game does and doesn't do, I tried to cover that in a review. That's based on the release version. The AI has improved a bit in the current version, and there have been misc. other tweaks to balance. The 'Power of the Serpent' DLC adds some interesting units. I wouldn't bother with the other DLC as I do not feel it adds anything worth having.

Or try the demo. It's pretty comprehensive.

TB has a really good first impressions video of it. Better than having to wait for a demo to download. Though, the video is from the beta, so don't let that discourage you.
