Thirteen power-hungry mages once tore the world of Eo apart, shattering continents into scattered islands linked by magic portals. Years after that catastrophe an old evil returns, and hope rests on a single rune warrior bound to immortality by blood magic. SpellForce fuses two genres in one campaign: you steer a hero and small party as in a role-playing game, then raise buildings and armies to wage full real-time-strategy battles across the same map. Six playable races, runes that summon champions, and a long story-driven quest give it unusual scope for its era.
