I've just recently discovered that this gem has been on Steam for a while, so I decided to repurchase it on here. Reason being: This game is great, and even greater multiplayer. It has shades of Dominions 3 without the anal-retentive "I have to play out wars in a simulated game before I take my turn once a week" community. Since not many will be familiar with Dominions 3, let me go into detail.

At the base of this game is your Heroes of Might and Magic Style RTS with troop management and citybuilding. On top of that is a giant conflict between Wizards. What's important is that magic is present everywhere. There's enchantments for units that need upkeep, theres your in-and-out-of-battle direct spells, and Global spells that make everyone nervous, such as bringing about an Ice Age. Sure you can break that spell, but it'll set you back, so maybe don't and hope someone else will before everything freezes... It has all these subtle beats and pressure for awesome multiplayer.
