fun game, decent pace for turn-based, good resources gather/management style. combat is interactive and strategic.

The nostalgia is strong with this one...

Growing up, I used to watch my parents play this all the time. I remember when I finally got to play it for the first time. I chose the Chaos faction...and got absolutely wrecked. So many years later, I tried it again. Went with Order that time, came so close to victory...but no dice.

THEN, we lost the disc for the game. Oof. When I saw this game was out on Steam, I immediately purchased it. I can proudly say that, after about 20 years of on and off playing, I FINALLY beat Balkoth! With elements of city development mixed with real-time strategy and more magic, dragons and elves than you can shake a stick at, Lords of Magic has something for every fantasy fan! Plan your moves carefully, as the Lord of Death waits for no one...

Best advice I can give to any new players out there looking to pick this up, is choose Order. They're honestly the best faction to start with. Prioritize building up your city first, taking any resource nodes within your area while sending scouts to fill out the map and figure out where things are. You can choose to befriend other factions by freeing their Temples, or take them over by force by killing their Lord in combat. I'd suggest allying with Water (because boats) and Air (eagles FTW)

Fantastic game, 10/10, so happy to have it back!
