I need more analytics in the game to do this properly but this is a start. How long should a game last? That depends on the game. Sorcerer King, for me, as the designer, is meant to take elements of Master of Magic, Star control and FTL and put them together. While those games may seem dissimilar, they each have key ingredients that I think can be blended together to create something really spectacular. And Sorcerer King is turning out spectacularly.

More on destroying the world to save it
A pet peeve of mine of fantasy strategy games is how weak magic often is. It makes sense if every side is supposed to be equal.
