Firstly how do feel SpellForce:The Order of Dawn was perceived? In your eyes was it a success or a building block for perhaps this title?

We achieved what we set out to do. We managed to create a game that is both an RTS and an RPG. We went further in doing so than anybody else. And it is not just working; it is actually a great new way of playing which many call Role Playing Strategy (RPS).

Fortunately many people around the world recognized this and bought the game and its expansions so that now we are able to build on its success. We learned a lot about this new way of playing, so for SpellForce 2 we are improving the gameplay at many points. Our goal is turn up the pace, provide more interesting decisions and deepen both the RTS and the RPG aspects of the game.
