Caster of Magic Warlord mod adds a lot to the game. A downside is that some of their additions cause computer to perform extra calculations, slowing down end turn waiting times considerably, particularly in larger games. Warlord Lite preserves the vast majority of the additions from Warlord mod. It however strategically removes or adjust a few of these with end turn wait time as a top priority, reducing end turn wait times by 60%-85% depending on game size. The game also aims to reduce overall unit spam. The game stays reasonably balanced and coherent despite the alterations on Version 1.0.0 and will be polished since then.

Version 1.0.3 - what's new?
Coliseum costs 220 (from 250)
Corrected spell research images for State of Rot and Temporal Twist
Discipline now grants the +1 move among elite units (only in combat) and costs 10 (from 8)
That +1 move certainly makes Discipline worthwhile as a combat-only spell that is especially useful for elite ranged units you need to kite and shoot with. Still a bit sad about sacrificing it as an overland buff to the god of end turn wait times but this is a decent compromise.
Actually, Warlords removed discipline as a researchable spell in favor of ‘True Light’. As true light was influencing end wait turns yet Warlord removal of overland discipline was partially done for balancing reasons, discipline was restored only as a combat spell then buffed in 1.0.3 with the +1 move at elite.
