overhaul of
SpellForce 3, including improvements, fixes, new game modes,
and new features for the RPG. This is available for Windows on

Here's a
PC
Release Trailer with a look at all that's new. Here's a refresher on the
game:
It is the year 518. The rebellion of the renegade mages, known as
the Mage Wars, has been quashed by the Crown. However, it was a Pyrrhic victory:
Whole regions have fallen into anarchy, refugees roam the lands in search of
shelter, and a mysterious, deadly plague called the “Bloodburn” has arisen and
is spreading rapidly.
In times like these people cling to any sign of hope they can find. The Purity
of Light, led by a charismatic man called Rondar Lacaine, claims that mages are
the source of all misfortune – and that only the second coming of Aonir, the
father of all gods, will return Eo to its former
splendor.
