Personally, i don't like the idea or sorcery throne into this game,
others allready have plenty of that. But I do like the idea of the
terrain changing. Like desserts expand after a while, Maybe have
volcanos erupt and leave an island in the middle of the sea. stuff like
that. But I would be greatly disappointed to see magic be added to a
game as good as it is so far.
