just finished the game today... its great!
if you like rpgs and build up strategy games you will love spellforce!
its a perfect mix of a role play game with a built up strategy game :D

its like a mix between morrorwind the elder scrolls and warcraft3, but with much better graphics!

you have a real night and day emulation on all levels! the sun and moon rise and set and move on the sky! the shaddows on all trees etc are moving together with the sun and moon! there are water reflections of the sun and the moon on the water! the trees are all moving in the wind! some days are cloudy and dark and others are bright and the sun is shining all the time!
its beaaauuutifull!

you can watch the level from right above, slightly from the side, a 45° angle from the side and more close, or even switch to a frist person view with your hero!

you have 6 different races you are playing with, humans, elves, dwarfs, trolls, dark elves and orks.

the story is great!

you have quests and side quests you dont have to fullfill, you switch between playing in rpg mode and then in build up strategy mode all the time, i really loved it! the graphics and animations are beautifull and kept me running around in levels for an hour! even after i slayed all enemies ^^

the game is actually a 3part story.

the order of dawn is just the first part of the story, the second part is an add on called the breath of winter and the thrid part will be released soon.

def check out this game! its really nice! :toast:




and here you see a beautifull early warm autumn sunset in nightwisper dale :slobber:

the story has a lord of the rings athmosphere... its in no way like a ripp off, but it feels like its playing in middle earth or at least somewhere on the same planet if you get what i mean :D

its using the same engine as aquamark3, the famous krass engine. around half of the units have at least one magic spell with beautifull lightning, and your hero can specialize towards any weapons you want to, plus he/she can specialize towards any direction of magic you want to as well. you can specialize on white magic, black magic, nature magic, fire, ice, wind, water and in all of those directions you can still specialize your heros capabilities towards a special typ of that group of magic... its really nice!

this and the very special and interesting story this game has will make you want to play the game at least two times if not several times to really understand the story in all details and you have to change your strategy completely depending on what magic and capabilities you pick for your hero :)

paintshoppro should do the trick. or imageready if you're more of the photoshop type. or ms gifanimator, or ... bunch of tools out there. wirth virtual dub you could make it an avi - and vd is free, with loads of plugins available - great tool.
