Describe Your Grail Game

It seems to keep coming up ... but you basically just described Mage Knight. Including the conquering cities bit.

Yeah, Mage Knight is pretty close.

How about this: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/108344/might-magic-heroes

I have it and it looks quite good. But also a bit complex so I haven't had time to play it yet.

Car Wars vehicle customization with Xwing styled combat/movement. None of this ten rounds per turn stuff that can be difficult to teach.

My dream game would be simple: Die Macher, with streamlined rules and shortened to be played in 90 minutes.

I'll go with an updated Divine Right-esque game with some new mechanics (not necessarily fantasy, I'll also accept post-apoc, sci-fi, etc.).

Lots of random chits/cards for allies and events. Give me Oggsbog the Ogre helping me siege and Juulute helping me raise a barbarian army in the North. Give me the Black Hand creating an undead colossus and a unit of lepers in my army to frighten my foes!

Personality cards for the neutral kingdom rulers that influence behaviour to make interactions with those kingdoms more interesting.

Some means of generating a semi-randomized map that still makes sense geographically.

And endless hours on the weekend to play it!

or:

A really good pro wrestling game (either actual matches or running a fed).
