Our take on Warlock 2: The Exiled
The listing emphasizes armies, spells, races, heroes, and multiple modes, but the victory structure is narrower than that variety suggests: diplomacy is excluded, and the main objective remains defeating opposing forces.
What is Warlock 2: The Exiled?
Warlock 2: The Exiled is a turn-based fantasy warfare game played on hex maps in single-player or multiplayer.
Choose from more than a dozen Great Mages or create a custom one, then command one of six races, including Humans, Undead, and Planestriders. Research over 170 spells, use divine blessings, adapt to terrain, and play across randomly generated maps. Heroes can join as reputation grows, lead armies, and use found or crafted artifacts.
