For all it's role-playing distractions, however, SpellForce is a strategy game at heart - and a fairly decent one at that. The range of units is impressive: soldiers, archers and magic users are available to deploy for a range of races. You can also mix and match these into quite a fearsome force - just remember to keep your evil orcs and trolls away from your fluffy dwarves and elves. Despite the wide array of units and playable races, though, it's strange there are no mounted or artillery units.
