SpellForce - Conquest of Eo

Development	Publisher	Release
		03.02.2023
On a journey to great magical might, explore and control the lands of Eo in this ever-changing turn-based strategy role-playing game. Field armies and heroes in tactical combat, finish hundreds of quests, and gather spells and artefacts to become the most powerful mage of all. In this turn-based strategy game set in the fantastic world of SpellForce, take up the mantle of your master as the heir to his mysterious wizard’s tower. Study a multitude of spells to cast over the lands around you, train or summon fantastical minions and warriors to roam the world. Fight in fast-paced but tactical turn-based battles. SpellForce: Conquest of Eo lets you dive into a rich world, filled with magic and adventure. Will you succeed or perish in the struggle to become the greatest mage the world has ever seen?

Explore the Realm of Eo
Win over mighty heroes to go on adventures for you, find useful artefacts and ingredients or bring back riches. Seek out talented apprentices to expand your domain and workers to gather a wealth of resources for you. Unearth the secrets inherited from your master and follow his quest to tap and unleash the ultimate source of magical power – the Allfire!

Face powerful foes
Among the other mages, there are those who would oppose your rise to power. You will have to face great armies and even greater ambitions of your rival Mages. Can you survive the struggle for domination? To expand your domain, you will need to control sources of Allfire, so you can fill your grimoire with new magical spells, craft mighty artefacts, and build additions to your tower.

Choose wisely
Become a Necromancer creating dozens of powerful undead, an Alchemist concocting potions and explosive vials for use in battle or an Artificer crafting glyphs and magical items to furnish your troops with. Bolster your might with over 60 spells and more than100 different troops from lowly goblins to majestic griffons.

Leave your mark

Befriend cities, harvest resources, and expand your domain. Fill your grimoire with arcane knowledge to best your rivals as you vie for sources of power. Hunt arcane artefacts and unearth the long-hidden secrets of the Shapers or take control of mythical locations to absorb their power. Improve your tower and furnish it with new rooms to grow your dominion, with upgrades ranging from a necromancer’s crypt to the mystical crystal chamber.

Tower to Go

Your immense magical sophistication allows your tower to levitate from the ground and travel the lands. On your path to exploit the sources of magical power on Eo, you will face New Purity fanatics, hostile granite dwarves, and bloodthirsty orcs. Encounter undead, demons, and monsters as you explore forgotten ruins or help a village haunted by ghosts. You might even need to face the other wizards’ armies of minions and best them in battle so you can reach your competitors’ towers and reduce them to rubble. Or perhaps you might find a way for them to co-exist with you and profit from their knowledge?

Choose from one of three archetypes and six spell lists, all allowing different styles of play
Recruit individual heroes and apprentices to lead your troops

SpellForce 2 - Dragon Storm

Development	Publisher	Release
		23.03.2007
The decay of Rohens world After the convocation, the world was shattered and splitted into islands, small remains of land prevented from total destruction by the stones of gods. Rohen, once a powerful mage of the circle, dedicated his life to linking the remains together with portals. He used the power of the archfire, a dangerous arcane force discovered by the circle in the ruins of the Shapers. The force which had driven both the circle and the world to the edge of destruction should have helped him to create a new world. Through the portals, food and water was delivered into the devastated and barren realms, new empires were forged and a rejuvenated Eo began to rise. Rohen even sacrificed his life for that cause. But he forgot that the powers used were a remain of the circle and bound to it. With Hokan Ashir gone, the magic cast by the circle decayed, and the power of the portals began to crumble. While the beginning of these events was nearly undetected, the aftermath is chaos and devastation, as the inhabitants of the islands try to get into the most fertile realms. Homeless groups are straying around in search of protection, while once glorious empires are teared into chaos. And nowhere emerges a blink of hope to fill the crumbling portals with new power...

Craig Un'Shallach, Dark Elf General and member of the Dracon caste, fights alongside his clan against the influence of the ominous Shadows, but the tide of war turns against him. When defeat seems imminent, his daughter Nightsong escapes in order to warn of the approaching menace. She flees into the borderlands between the realms of humans and the dark elves to alarm the humans about the pact between Shadows and Dark Elves and of the army of the Shadows, which advances under the guidance of the insane alchemist Sorvina towards the realms of the light! With this alarming knowledge Nightsong reaches the fortress of the Shaikan, the legendary dragon warriors, bonded by blood with an ancient dragon, feared by the races of light and darkness alike. There she receives the unexpected assistance of a courageous Shaikan who joins her journey to tell the tale of the Shadows and Sorvina and to save his homeland and family. However, to resist the impeding doom powerful armies will be required. The dormant alliance of light must be reforged, no easy task for two creatures counted amongst the enemies of Light....

In times like these people cling to any sign of hope they can find.
