Control one of eight different faiths, and fight or ally with the others, in your attempt to rid the world of the Death Lord Balkoth (or in case you're playing as Balkoth, fight to rid the world of those who want to rid the world of you).

The game combines turn-based strategy, resource management and real-time combat, in a richly detailed fantasy setting.

Trivia

The first release was so filled with bugs, that Sierra eventually had to release a patch called Lords Of Magic 2.0 . This caused some confusion, as some gamers thought this was actually a new release of the game. That release did come about a year later with Lords Of Magic: Special Edition which among other things added the premise of special quests.
