SpellForce: Conquest of Eo - Demon Scourge

New content

Regardless of the strategy we choose, the expansion titled Demon Scourge introduces a lot of new gameplay features to the game. Among the most important ones, we can mention:

1. demonologist archetype - the fourth (next to the alchemist, necromancer and artificer) character class that we can choose for our mage at the beginning of the game (each has different spells and skills, and also gives access to different buildings);
2. school of occultism - a separate type of spells our protagonist can learn;
3. 25 units and over 30 upgrades for them;
4. 25 constructions that can expand the wizard's tower (the player's base, which can be moved to different areas of the map);
5. two (initially) hostile factions - demons and trolls - and bosses in the form of demon lords;
6. 120 main and side quests;
7. two victory conditions.

Mechanics

In of gameplay itself, Demon Scourge doesn't bring any major changes to SpellForce: Conquest of Eo. The game still involves taking over the legacy of our Master, uncovering the secrets of his research, and fighting with other mages who want to keep these secrets for themselves. Thanks to exploring the map, completing quests, and gathering resources, we gain access to increasingly advanced buildings and more powerful units, which brings us closer to victory with each turn.

New tasks, units, upgrades, spells, and character classes significantly expand the mix of strategies that we can use to achieve the goal. The plot of the expansion takes place alongside the events of the "base game", making each subsequent session differ from the previous ones even more than before.

Technical aspects

Demon Scourge is not a stand-alone expansion. This means that in order to play it, you must also have the base version of SpellForce: Conquest of Eo.
