Most of the levels we played involved a seven or eight-strong group of heroes, both major and minor, and each with their own special powers. All that variety would be tough to handle with an off-the-shelf RTS interface, which only exposes these powers one hero at a time. Select an enemy in Spellforce 2 -- or a friend, for that matter -- and the powers all your heroes could use on them are neatly arranged under their portraits. It's a matter of a few clicks to send three or four heroes to intercept an enemy attacker with either magic or physical attacks, or to send healers to assist a hero in trouble.
