SpellForce 3 Reforced Release!Dec 6, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsSpellForce 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 Versus Edition Changes Over the last months, we gathered all your feedback and compiled an early launch patch addressing some of the most concerning issues. As always, we will continue to monitor the game and make changes as needed, so stay tuned for more!

Your feedback has inspired many of the changes in this major patch. We’re grateful to those of you who stream, watch and talk about tournament games and theorycraft about the game - big shoutout to all of you involved! In this patch, we have tweaked a whole bunch of values across all factions, plus we’ve made some changes to mechanics that require plenty of testing to make sure they deliver a great gameplay experience Your feedback helped shape this patch, so we hope you’ll enjoy the changes. If you notice anything that seems a little out of balance, let us know - the SpellForce Discord is a great place to share your suggestions or report a bug, and also a great place to meet other SpellForce players And we’re not done yet! You can look forward to more improvements in the future - in the meantime, keep sharing your feedback and streams with us. Thank you! We have an additional surprise for you: Inspired by the famous "Spandauer Squad", we sent our AI Commanders into a bootcamp to make them stronger than ever! The "Spandau AI" not only learned how to play more optimal in general, it also studied the builds and playstyles from competitive players. It will also spawn Titans, attack players more aggressively and put more pressure on. We hope that you have a lot fun playing against this new AI and are looking forward to your feedback! Changelog Bugfixes: Fixed players in skirmish games being unable to select any RTS faction not owned by the host Fixed a problem where healthbar size wasn't updated appropriately while the entity in question was selected Fixed a problem where allied entities where sometimes not recognized as visible (even though they actually were) Fixed crash when trying to launch game while the previously selected graphics adapter (GPU) is not available Fixed incorrect tooltip descriptions being displayed for a few settings in the options menu Balance Patch Notes These changes have the goal to increase both spell and unit variety for each faction. For some, this also includes some nerfs in certain stages of the game, while also including buffs at other stages. Especially Trolls are in a good spot right now and see a good amount of unit variety. To balance their power while preserving this variety, the changes are a bit more subtle. The Plague Bringer got a couple of reworked abilities to see better spell variety, we hope you like them! For other factions, we wanted to address certain issues in specific stages of the game while also making more units more interesting. Some changes, such as the Dwarves' Earth Shaper, might need more drastical changes in the future. This test will serve as a foundation for future adjustments.
