___________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to our second demo version of Spellforce – The Order of Dawn.
The demo features the tutorial, one single player map and two multiplayer
maps.
For size reasons some of the options in the game have been disabled in the
demo, such as Save and some graphic options. The full version has all these
features and more!
1) Tutorial
We suggest playing the Tutorial to get accustomed to the game, which has some
unusual features that may be new for you. The Tutorial is not played with you
main character and can be skipped in the game.
2) Single Player Map
This is a modified version of an early map in the game with a mix of
challenges. The demo version does not allow you to save your game, however. You
play a pre-generated character, in the full game you can of course create one
for yourself or choose from a range of templates.
3) Multiplayer Maps
We strongly suggest trying the Tutorial and Single Player maps before joining
in a Multiplayer game.
You can play these maps via LAN or Internet (supported by Gamespy). You need at
least another player to start and you do not choose a race, but rather a
monument next to which you will start.
In Multiplayer you select one out of a range of many Avatars that are
pre-generated and cannot use your Single Player character in order to keep the
match balanced.
For further information on the game, latest news and patches please visit
Spellforce.com.
This demo is based on the 1.05 version of the game.
Thank you for taking the time to have a look at this new milestone in RPG/RTS
games and we sincerely hope you will enjoy it.
