Worlds of Magic Strategy Game Released On Steam Early Access

Did someone mention "Master of Magic"! ^_^

Looks like it has a mix of a few different genre's mixed in with it for good measure too, As not only will you be turn-based battling, but you found cities, raise armies, research and cast spells, hire powerful heroes, and create powerful magical artefacts. All in one tight package.
Pretty much an accurate description of Master of Magic.

I usually don't buy early access, but this time I might make an exception.^_^:D

A New The Witcher 2 Linux Beta Appears, Improved Performance
12 Aug 2014 at 9:15 am UTC

No difference for me. Still runs at ~12 frames per second (voglperf).
AMD 6850 + Catalyst.

Addition:
Played around with some profiling...
  • When running around in circles in The Witcher 2, clone is used 33.49% of the total system time.

  • When panning the map in Civilization V, clone is used 5.54% of the total system time.



That's an unhealthy amount of time spent on creating threads in The Witcher 2.
