Early 4X fantasy game 

This is an early entry in the 4X fantasy genre, the first to feature unique heroes in fact, and is very similar to the later and more famous Heroes of Might and Magic series. The depth and complexity is quite impressive, loads of different units, magic spells and structures to be explored. Random generated levels allow good replay value, but the lack of a story/campaign and a bit unvaried gameplay denies you of that true "one more turn" feeling.
