The Paradox-published 4x-ish strategy title Warlock Master of the Arcane is free at the Humble Store today. All you have to do is give Humble an email address to deliver the (Steam redeemable) code to and solve a not especially baffling captcha image.
Oh, you might also have to try a couple of different browsers to make the process work. Last time I tried, Firefox wasn’t an option. Here’s what Humble support have to say about that:
If you are having troubles picking up your free game from the Humble Store, try opening the page in Chrome or another browser.

So I guess if your default browser doesn’t work at the moment try using Chrome, if you have that installed somewhere. Or just wait, they’ll probably get it working on Firefox eventually. Looks like the offer will be available for the next 24 hours or so.
In case you’re wondering what Warlock Master of the Arcane is all about, allow me to borrow a line or two from Tim’s old 7/10 review for the game. The full review is still up, but it was prior to a redesign so the formatting is all terrible.
Anyway, Tim says:
“Warlock is a streamlined strategy game, at a cut price, and that is absolutely no bad thing. It has a few unfortunate quirks, but if you fancy something a bit lighter and a bit more combat-focused than the usual fare, then you’ll get at least a few dozen hours of entertainment from this rather enjoyable title.”
