''Wizards and Warlords'' is a 2020 FourX fantasy strategy game along the lines of VideoGame/MasterOfMagic. As the name suggests, it allows you to play as either a wizard or a warlord seeking dominion within a randomly-generated fantasy world. Magic in the setting is divided into numerous masteries, although most of the time a wizard will have to master several of them to get anywhere.
!!This game provides examples of:
* CastingAShadow: The Shadow Mastery, of course, is heavily focused on this, with spells to summon [[LivingShadow Living Shadows]] and the like.
* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: The game deliberately makes no effort to balance wizards against warlords; warlords are outright described as hard mode in the interface and the game strongly advises new players against playing them because of how rapidly this trope causes wizards to pull ahead.
