SpellForce 3 - The perfect blend between RTS and RPG!
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.
The story takes place before the acclaimed SpellForce: The Order of Dawn.

Good: Great music and graphics. Bad: Graphics are unreadable in the RTS segments—it’s almost impossible to tell which unit is which. The balance is bad. For some reason, there is a very intense collision between units,

Really amazing game. I've been playing RTS games since WarCraft 2, and RPG games since the first Final Fantasy. The story in SpellForce 3 is well written. Everything is voice acted. The campaigns are professionally
