Ultimately you will clash. In these battles, your weapons are your magic spells. When magic battles between sorcerers arise, the game comes to life. Thunderclouds roll across the skies as lightning bolt attacks are directed at opponents villages. Armies of skeletons are summoned who stride across the countryside scything everything and everyone in their paths.
Earthquakes tear the ground apart.
Spells directed against you can be anticipated. You always have time to react to spells. And time to cast an appropriate counter-spell in time. Lionhead have developed a new technology Gesture Recognition technology which allows spells to be cast, practised and perfected by mouse movement. To cast a firewall, for example, you must sweep the mouse in a circle.
