I agree with the comments from winterplum and Barry. I very much disagree with Tom and Sam's review of Runewars. While they normally do good reviews, I have noticed a trend where the reviews are not as detailed as they used to be or they produced a review before playing the game enough to understand its details. Whatever the case may be, do not let that discourage you from a great game.I have the 1st edition and expansion, and it's still a 10 on my list. I very much enjoy the asymmetrical powers of the units, and the ability for the heroes to help combat or capture a few more victory points. That really allows some flexibility for victory paths. The cards are unique in determining combat results, but other than a little more learning curve versus just some dice rolls, is elegant.
I would very much love for FFG to release another expansion with some more races, again with asymmetrical powers, and maybe some more terrain tiles. That would provide more replayability and interest.
Based in what you said so far in this thread, I think you would really enjoy this game.
