- Warlock: Master of the Arcane is (briefly) free during the Humble Store End of Summer Sale - 8 September 2014
The Humble Store End of Summer Sale is currently underway and they've got some pretty solid deals on, like Batman: Arkham Asylum for a fiver, or The Wolf Among Us for ten. But what's of particular interest at the moment is Warlock: Master of the Arcane, which until 10 am PDT on September 9 you can pick up for the price of absolutely nothing. That's right, it's free, and it's apparently not terrible, either, so I don't know why we're still talking about it. But if you need more reasons to click that link, here are a few: Psychonauts is a buck, Euro Truck Simulator 2 is $5, Amnesia: The Dark Descent is $5, Shadowgrounds Survivor is $1, Kerbal Space Program is $16, the Lego Movie Videogame is $8, and so it goes. Good stuff, good prices. You know the deal. And Warlock: Master of the Arcane is free! The Humble Store End of Summer Sale runs until September 22.

- Warlock 2: The Exiled screenshots tease fantasy civilization - 26 November 2013
The danger for 4X strategies is that, inevitably, they'll be compared to Civilization. Although, to be fair, many games are openly inviting that comparison. Galactic Civilizations, which yesterday released its own set of screenshots, contains the word "Civilization" in its title, for instance. Then there's the fantasy 4X, Warlock 2: The Exiled, which has successfully differentiated itself by name, if not entirely by look. Judge for yourself, by browsing the game's first selection of screenshots. First though, here's a sample of the game's feature list: "Spelling Counts – Over 150 spells to add to your tome, allowing command over powerful enchantments, nasty hexes, and elemental forces "A Crass Menagerie – Hundreds of different mythical and magical beasts to deploy on the battlefield with distinct tactical uses, from giant rats and dwarven prospectors to werewolves with hats on them "Fri…
- Warlock 2: The Exiled bringing more turn-based strategy to PC - 4 October 2013
"War. A wise man said it never changes," a gravely voice declares. "But he's dead. Eaten by a dragon in war." It's not easy to make a fun announcement trailer for a hexy turn-based strategy game, but publisher Paradox certainly has a fair crack at it with Warlock 2: The Exiled .

- Warlock: Master of the Arcane review - 11 August 2012
Half the world was coloured the, um, turquoise of my undead armies. My war with the Anubislike dog-mage Sol looked set to bring more territory under my control. Things were going well. End turn. Rjakh is demanding 900 mana or he’ll declare war. Well, no, I need it. Sure, history has proven it’s bad to fight a war on two fronts, but history didn’t command a two-headed poison spitting dragon. War it is. Anna the Benign is demanding 900 mana or she’ll declare war. Really? Anna the Benign is giving ultimatums? I could be in trouble. Warlock: Master of the Arcane isn’t without its problems, but it has what I always look for in a turn-based strategy game: the ability to generate stories. From your first forays to the final climactic (if grind-heavy) wars against fellow mages, there’s plenty of drama along the way. You start with a city, a couple of basic units and a whole lot of uncovered lan…

(old saves are still valid) • Ballista unit became a bit tougher and cheaper. • When starting a saved multiplayer game the missing players will be replaced with AI. • Monster lair spawn events are more logical now, and a few more were added. • Multiplayer Lobby now shows the total number of players in it (including playing). • Quest and Loot windows became a bit wider to better show long units and artifacts names. • Now a player cannot disable a building manually – only demolish (or activate if disabled). • The hint added – the reasons why the building cannot be activated. • Now when a player closes the "Select target Mage" window the spell is automatically can…
