Description from IGDB IGDB

In a world beyond imagination... In their immeasurable greed and constant thirst for power, the thirteen most powerful Mages of all time doomed the land, hurling it into an endless spiral of chaos and despair. Entire countries were wiped out in the blink of an eye when the devastating power of the Elements was unleashed – Elements summoned by dark rituals. Continents shattered like glass, the pieces strewn about like leaves in the wind. Huge armies, bound by the the power of ancient runes, brought war and destruction to the lands that survived the initial onslaught. All that was left were a few islands, connected by magic portals. Now, only a few years after the end of the Convocation, evil is back – stronger and more powerful than ever before – to finish what was started. Yet there is still hope. The prophecies tell of a human. A human damned to immortality, bound forever by the power of the blood runes… Soon, the time will come when the power of one may change the destiny of many. For better or for worse... Summary of the most important features: Innovative game design: The unique mixture of RTS and RPG elements offers a brand new game experience. High degree of identification with the hero-avatar, whose skills and strengths can be improved by the player Click’n’Fight: This revolutionary control system guarantees instant action, the best possible overview and completely new tactical possibilities in battle 6 races – Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Dark Elves, Orcs and Trolls – that can be used simultaneously (!) to build settlements and fight battles More than 30 different enemy races, from cowardly goblins to powerful demons and dragons A multitude of spells, divided into different categories of magic (white, black, elemental, etc.) Persistant game world with continuous, gripping storyline and myriad sub-quests Awe-inspiring 3D graphics with zoom levels from isometric to 1st-Person-views

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

SpellForce: Order of Dawn is played from a third-person perspective, in which players control a custom-made avatar to explore a variety of maps in the game. The game makes use of traditional elements from both real-time strategy and role-playing video games, in which players take on various quests, kill monsters and earn experience to level up and improve skills and unlock the ability to wield new equipment, while at times having to build bases, gathering resources for the construction of buildings, and training units to fight against opposing armies. For the role-playing aspect of the game, players create an avatar for interaction with the game's world, defining them with a player's preferred stat points to begin with, and focused on one of three classes: fighter; archer; and magician. Each class focuses on a particular aspect of combat, with avatars learning skills to unlock new abilities for use in combat, as well as to unlock the ability to use equipment related to the skill - for example, improving their skill in ranged combat unlocks new long-range weapons for use. Equipment confers bonuses to various stats, and are divided between weapons, shields, armour, and accessories, with the player able to come across new equipment with better stats as they progress in the main campaign. Characters level up by completing quests and defeating monsters - a unique system awards more experience for defeating higher level creatures than those below a characters level, and less for repeated killing of the same creature. Quests are divided into main quests that progress the game's story, and side quests that offer bonuses such as new equipment. For the real-time strategy aspect of the game, players work to build up bases, gathering resources to build structures and train units, with the ability of forming groups to help with taking on opposing bases. In Order of Dawn the game features two opposing factions with three different races: the Light Side, featuring humans, dwarves, and elves; and the Dark Side, featuring orcs, trolls, and dark elves. Each race has its own troops and structures that can be used, including a unique unit called a "Titan", each with its own cost and requiring specific resources to be spent to build/train them – wood, stone, iron, moonsilver, aria, lenya, and food. Each base has a set of different buildings to use, some of which need to be upgraded to access stronger units for each race: Military structures to train units; Gathering structures help with gathering specific resources; Tech structures for upgrades; and defensive towers for protecting the player's base from attack. In the game's story campaign, players visit various inter-linked islands, each of which feature a set of main quests to complete and require making use of portals to move between them; portals cannot be used when the player engages in an island's main story, until its series of main quests are completed. During the course of the game, the avatar can equip special "runestones" to call forth "Runewarrior" allies - each with their own skill set and class, but set to being lower in level than the avatar's own; they will still level up alongside them. Although the game can be over if the avatar and their allies are killed, players can activate a monument called a "Bindstone", which re-spawns such characters upon their death. Alongside the story campaign, players can engage in three other modes: Freeplay, which allows players to explore the campaign's world without any quests to deal with; Skirmish, which allows players to engage in RTS matches against an AI; and Multiplayer, which allows players to compete against others online.
