The comparisons are inevitable so I'm just gonna go ahead and make the obvious one right at the top: Warlock: Master of the Arcane owes its entire existence to Civilization. There. That's out of the way. And while the comparison is inevitable and warranted, that doesn't mean Warlock is some cheap rip-off. On the contrary, it basically takes all the best parts and melds them into a fantasy wasteland where throngs battle each other over land and sea. In a civilized turn-based fashion, of course.
Sometimes a game does nothing wrong, technically speaking, but still comes up wanting. MMO strategy game Illyriad is a prime example - everything from the game's interface to its resource-building is standard free-to-play strategy game fare, none of it too intrusive. The only problem?

It's also the name of the galactic sector you'll command in FleetCOMM: Operation Vigrior, an upcoming real-time strategy game in which humanity struggles to defend itself against an alien enemy known as the Virals. Unlike conventional RTSes, however, FleetCOMM will forgo unit building or resource gathering in favor of what strategy games are supposed to be all about: epic military engagements.
Dungeon Crawlers isn't just the name of a genre anymore. Now that genre is also the name of a game! Not all that surprisingly it's about, well, dungeon crawling.

Ghostbusters references?
