SpellForce 3: Reforced
During the last year we have been hard at work to deliver you this update. We spent a lot of time gathering feedback, reworking map scripts, fixing bugs and improving the game in many aspects.
But not only that, we have also included two completely new game modes: Journey (our version of the Free Game Mode) and an Arena Mode - free for all owners of SpellForce 3, Soul Harvest and Fallen God.
This is our way to say "Thank You!" for your dedication, support and love for SpellForce 3.
We hope that you enjoy SpellForce 3: Reforced and all its new content, and are looking forward to meeting you in the World of Eo!
Cheers
The Grimlore Games Team

Compete with other players in a skill-based matchmaking system
Climb the ranks in 5 different divisions - per faction!
Practice your skills in an unranked mode
Become the very best: A live leaderboard will always show who is the best player of each faction

New Standalone Expansion for SpellForce 3 - Fallen God Introduces the trolls
Vienna/Austria and Munich/Germany, June 6th – When the gods have abandoned you, there is only one hope for salvation: Find a new god! This is the conclusion Akrog, chieftain of the Moonkin trolls, comes to. He leads his clan through the continent of Urgath, struggling to survive.
Vienna/Austria and Munich/Germany, June 6th – When the gods have abandoned you, there is only one hope for salvation: Find a new god! This is the conclusion Akrog, chieftain of the Moonkin trolls, comes to. He leads his clan through the continent of Urgath, struggling to survive. The player's mission is to guide the new playable faction, the trolls, through an all-new 15-hour long singleplayer campaign. SpellForce 3 - Fallen God is a standalone expansion and can be played without having played any SpellForce game before (but we would encourage everyone to do so!)
New features for the singleplayer campaign include:
Salvaging of weapons to craft superior equipment for your tribe and your heroes
The new character-shaping mechanic, adding true replayability value (see below)
Multiple endings for the campaign, based on your decisions
Watch the Fallen God Announcement Trailer: https://youtu.be/PBvsZ9Tn_Nk
Steam Store Link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1154040/
Character shaping throughout the single-player campaign: The choices you make in the campaign affect your companion’s skills and abilities. Plus they can contribute to the story through their own decisions, based on how you previously shaped their character.
New playable faction: The Trolls. With their nomadic behavior, Trolls have a different playstyle than all other factions in SpellForce 3
A new continent to explore: Urgath is full of mysteries and adventures for you and your heroes to discover.
All-new soundtrack to underline the beauty and mystery of the new continent
Full Steam Workshop integration and advanced modding tools
Multiplayer Features:
Introducing Ranked Play: Compete with other SpellForce players in a 1:1 ELO-based ranked system, and become the champion of SpellForce
Six different playable RTS factions: Humans, Elves, Orcs, Dwarves, Dark Elves and Trolls - each with their unique troops and heroes
Create your own maps with the powerful modding tools and share them with the community
