The way the author talked about the feeling of if a sequel could live up to the original, and how it had been mostly forgotten, reminded me of Warlords, which together with civilization and rail road tycoon was the main turn based strategy games of my youth. I remember there was a sequel, but it would always freeze up on our computer.
... And I don't think I've stumbled on anyone on the internet talk its praise.
Was it just an oddity in my games library, or did other people place it along side the classic turn based strategy games of the 90s?
Warlords - especially the second installment - is generally considered one of the 4X classics of the 90s.
The Age of Wonders series was heavily inspired by Warlords (and Master of Magic), and is still around.
