Sorcerer King

Sorcerer King is a new direction for 4X game design, pitting the player against a single overwhelmingly powerful enemy instead of a set of evenly matched factions racing for abstract victory conditions. 

Think of the Sorcerer King as the evil mage who won the last traditional 4X game. He has already conquered the world. His enemies (including you) are scattered, their armies broken and cities torn down. His dark minions have free reign to terrorize the survivors everywhere except a few tiny outposts of civilization (like the one you start in) too insignificant to crush.

Features:

• Unique, asymmetrical design creates a new kind of 4X gameplay based around surviving the Sorcerer King’s relentless, unscripted assaults. 
• Sophisticated "Game Master" AI ensures each game is a new, challenging experience. 
• Win the allegiances of independent minor factions before they abandon any hope of defying the Sorcerer King’s dark reign. 
• Play one of six different sovereigns, each with their own unique skill tree, spellbooks and units. 
• Extensive crafting system allows players to customize their units and seek out ever more powerful recipes to even the odds. 
• Hundreds of quests deliver unique items, units, resources and unexpected narrative twists. 
• Earn the loyalty of powerful champions and develop them into juggernauts capable of standing up to the Sorcerer King’s most powerful minions. 
• Found new cities and build them up to gain access to new units, abilities, crafting recipes and more.
