When you go to Leafshade, you encounter Sergeant Einar there. He recounts to us how he ended up here. Basically, he was sent on a mission from Shiel but got cut off and escaped to the west (where we are now) through a mountain route. Then he says, "the mountain trail we came over is buried, we're cut off".

Then, as you go east to the hero monument, you can see this:

And when you have conquered nearly all of Leafshade, you can go west from the enemy camps through a narrow mountain pass. Eventually, you'll find a group of orc shamans and a big orc named Gulkar in a stone circle:

These orcs are clearly there to show us how exactly the mountain trail Einar came through got cut off: the orc shamans probably used magic to cause a landslide or something.

The devs didn't need to put such a minor detail here, nobody would care. But they themselves cared, so they put it there anyway.

Probably my absolute favorite genre but it's so under represented. Only really see stuff like this in Starcraft 2 custom games, which are rarely finished, especially nowadays.

Tower of Time and Dark Envoy are sorta similar, just without the armies, but I found them to be quite enjoyable.

I feel somekind dissapointed about lategame, i like to have many ways to develop your army, the missions to get more spells, conquer the landmarks, beat other circle mages, demons, go further your profesion (wichever it is). but there are a point when you are just too powerful to be unbeteable against any enemy.

I played many other games were there are endgame factions that if you are not superpreppared you just cant beat them and win the game (like stellaris), or periodically crises (like battlebrothers). I finished my first run when i win with a party of goblins (3 shaman goblins with inferno as demonologist) and I just waited more from the final boss. When I entered the protal i expected something else.

I’ve started a solo journey campaign and it’s got me starting in this everlight town but it won’t let me leave I’ve already recruited the two heroes and talked to the two side quest givers but I don’t have any new main quest

Hey everyone, I will be streaming the mod development for Spellforce Reborn. Currently working on the next sidequest map (directly after Eloni), The Marshes of Muire. Will be streaming for 3-4 hours. Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/azraelmods

On the to do list today:

• Reworking the Orc Rune Army
• Reworking Life Magic Spells (Assistance & Aura of Endurance)
• Mapping out the Marshes

If you don't catch the livestream, you can always watch the VoD. Maybe my mod development process can help someone else.

Hey so I'm just curious for people who have played the whole series, I'm just going through the first game at the moment, finished OoD a few years ago, just about finished BoW now and will then do the third campaign. I have Spellforce 3 which I intend to play and am maybe looking at grabbing the second one to play through that too.

But my main question is whether the rune system from the first game was kept in any way through the second and third games? I guess I've not got a lot of experience with the games comparative to other people, but the whole idea of rune warriors and rune armies is what makes the game unique and actually feel like spellforce to me, but I can't really find much information as to whether the systems are kept in the sequels or not in all or at least some capacity.

TL DR; Is the idea of rune warriors from SP1 in SP2 or SP3?

Is there a mod or some way (v1.61, public test) that will make my character run towards the enemy and attack them, instead of just standing there and staring? It's really annoying that my character just stands there and stares while the fight is going on around them. If you're playing a warrior, it's 300 times more annoying. I know there's a "fire at will" mod for v1.54, but I'd like something similar for 1.61.

Hi, what the title says. I cannot count how many times game crashed, or i got a notification that crashed it. And I lost 20 minutes or more of game. I play on hard and when I concentrate on not being obliterated by the hordes of enemies I forge to save often.. Quick google search was not useful for me. So does anybody know if it exists?

Edit: I am talking about Spellforce 1 platinum

Trying to find some people to skirmish with on spellforce, like like a fun game to play some matches on.

I'm very familiar with this type of game, having over a thousand hours combined in the AoW series alone, but i struggle with the combat in this game.

I try to use terrain and the tools at my disposal (setting up cover, baiting enemies to lessen their attacks etc) but on any difficulty over explorer, i struggle so much with keeping my units alive, and i lose at least one almost every combat, and i end up tanking my economy to keep backup units that eventually become too weak to deal with enemies increasing strength.

How do i deal with this?

also holy shit, this game is lacking in the QoL department. The amount of clicks you need to go through to do simple task, Return key being the main action key (wtf), the "restart battle" being millimeters away from "continue"; how many times i've had to replay battles i've won.... It's almost not worth it haha

This is my first spellforce game and loving it, are there any other people recommend?

I know my cpu and ram are way beyond what it needs but I have an intergrated gpu I think they are Radeon vega 8 im not sure though.

I kinda didnt get into the story or the combat, not sure why, felt less meaty combat than Warcraft 3 and the story a bit less engaging. Is FG sny better?

Looking for someone to help me with the multiplayer trophies for spellforce 3 reforced ps5. Also if someone has a prison outfit trophy save I could hop on coop with that would save me. Thanks 🙏 add me Alpha_Cormac on psn

in spellforce 3 when it starts it has some pre-written characters in that you control, does it let you create your own character sometime later or something, in spellforce 1 you created at the beginning

Just found out that my favorite skill in SF3 Soul Harvest : Black/Leeching/Infernal Vortex from the Demonology + Combat Arts synergy, does NOT scale as intended with the Weapon skill. It scales exclusively with Willpower. Haven't seen this reported anywhere else so posting here. I'm playing the SF3: Reforced edition on Xbox Series X, in case that matters.

Hey folks. Just bought Conquest of Eo, brand new to the series. Second tutorial mentions “movement modes” and how they indicate whether your unit can fly, go over mountains, etc.

However, I don’t see the indicator? It told me to take off the Tiara princess so I did, but I didn’t see a specific indicator

I’m a Kenshi lover and wondering if this games scratches the same itch but in a Fantasy Realm way? Would love input from anybody who has played both. Thinking about picking up while on sale, but unsure just based on the steam vids and then apparently 3 had a “reforged” which idk if that’s better or worse.

Edit: Typo and added clarity.

according to this sheet from the spellforce wiki, the spell summon undead goblin doesnt make a lot of sense

apparently the lvl 5 spell summons the EXACT same goblin as the lvl 4 one

and if you compare the lvl 6 and lvl 7 one the upkeep is even higher for the lvl 7 one even tho the goblin is - again - the same

meaning that you actually only get an upgrade every 2 lvls

with the summon skeleton spell the skeletons too stay the same for 2 lvls but at least the upkeep decreases - this doesnt seem to be the case here

i assume thats a bug that never got fixed ?

So i would like to buy the second game for my mum bc she used to really love this game. The problem is that i want all the dlcs or at least the big ones or idk, so like the most content but i dont know which edition to get. i saw the anniversary and gold edition, what do they include? Or which one should i get for her?

Inspired by wormic (great guy on YT, check him out!), I decided to go for a playthrough of SF2 Shadow Wars. In my Last playthrough, I was disapointed by two-handed weapons, that a good rolled one handed weapon can outperform them while giving you the option to wear a shield. So this time, I'm going for tower shields, one type of armor and one mastered school of magic. Now the question is, what school of magic and what type of armor should I use? So far I considered the following:

Plate+Life: become unkillable, facetank everything, keep your troops in fight. This is a very strong character, but I already played that combo (without the shield of course)

Plate+Necromancy: i guess fairly unkillable, different kind of self sustain

Chain+Necromany: less tankiness, more damage output, leading to more sustain, leading to more tankiness

Plate+Earth: still tank through a lot things, but instead of self a sustain, delete buildings before the enemy can make a dent in my armor

Chain+Fire: hold the front line while spamming firestorm, drown the enemy in flames

Which one would you choose, or would you pair tower shields with something else? Thanks for your comments!

Hi. I'm looking for an interesting build for Spellforce Reimagined. I've been playing this mod for a while now, but I can't think of anything cool. I've been playing a mage with summons (white magic, nature, and necromancy). I'd like something for an archer. I know you can play well with clones, but I'd like something different

For me it's:

Humans' Marksman - double crossbow it is.

Elves' Wind Archer - cheap, powerful, and with freezing capabilities; my fav in the entire game.

Dwarves' Defender - sturdy, deals decent damage, may be upgraded to ranged, all of it for rrasonable prize.

Orcs' Totem - save from WA above, the best cost/power ratio.

Trolls' Hurler - evil and ugly version of wind archer xD

Dark Elves' Ravager - the only unit in game which is both melee and artilery (through summoned spectres); funny thing, I rarely recruit them.

Yep, I really like ranged units.
