stopped playing Warlock: Master of the Arcane 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Is a game with a lot of potential, but also a lot of jank and just poorly thought-out systems. It occupies that Master of Magic niche with a strong influence from Civ 5, but lacks a lot of the depth and polish of either. You get bogged down in an almost constant fight against unaffiliated monsters, while your building strategy is survival. There are almost no limits on city settlement either, which means you end up spamming them and drowning in constant micro-management. The careful strategic development of cities becomes near-impossible in the long term. Also I encountered bugs and crashes.

The game Warlock: Master of the Arcane is set in the magical world of Ardania, which some games might recognize from the innovative RTS-series Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Simulator. In Warlock, the players will chose from several factions, of both human and fantasy origins, such as orc tribes or hordes of undead, and set out to conquer the world and defeat the other rulers. The game features a strong spellcasting system, including the ability to combine spells into more powerful and/or different versions. The players will have to prove their worth both in managing the empire and its cities as well as defeating the other mages and enemies on the battlefields.
