Wut? Would you like the game to play itself and you just hammer the END TURN button and after a random turn it will tell you if you won or lost?Research and city queues a must.
Yeah man ! I want that for life with like an AI and stuff.Wut? Would you like the game to play itself and you just hammer the END TURN button and after a random turn it will tell you if you won or lost?
holy shit man
Dude, game is easy on the micro. Demanding a research que cause you're too lazy to click every 9th turn to select a spell and calling it a "must" is stupid. But hey, what do i know.Yeah man !

Of all the things to bitch about he picks q's as a must. Of all things. Game is easy on the micro, there is 1 research spell at a time, not 15 of em, there is a city limit and you build buildings when the city grows. Theres a unit build queue but you cant build alot of those either. Not alot of clicks there and going all "omg, i gotta preload those clicks" is just stupid.The game is not a mega epic space complicated 4x game with a trilion of planets and stats.Wut? Would you like the game to play itself and you just hammer the END TURN button and after a random turn it will tell you if you won or lost?Research and city queues a must.

How the fuck does having a queue imply that the game plays itself? You're still making every decision.

Actually, the AI in Warlock is still more impressive than in Fantasy Wars/EL because the maps are random, while FW/EL maps are much easier to script.That evolution also goes a long way to explain how Warlock 1, a relatively obscure budget title, managed to have the best tactical AI of its kind when it released: it wasn't the least bit new, but rather the third generation of an AI that had been around for years. Though honestly, if you really want to see how good it is Elven Legacy does a better job of showing it. And if you're into Panzer General type games with a fantasy coating, the Fantasy Wars/Elven Legacy series is absolutely worth playing.

On the other hand, the utter weakness of their strategic AI is for the same reason, because the game evolved from one without any strategic management at all.
Some ppl want more micro while i want less.Oh yea, the city limit mechanic is REALLY stupid. I know you can increase it by managing morale and researching perks but... wtf... I could fit five cities on one shard... never mind only being able to do five (increasing to around 9-10) for ALL the shards. Extremely hamfisted mechanic.
