Hi all,

Most of your problems are adressed in the manual
-Interface:
Do a simple CTRL-Leftclick on one Unit and every Unit of the same type gets selected.
-Blood&Gore
Will be patched soon
-If one doesn't like tutorials then simply activate the checkbox "Skip Prologue" when creating the Avatar.
-There are plenty of things one can do while in 3rd Person view. I.e. you may set an follow mode for whole armys; Use the CnF System; Attack, Talk via rightclick.... i refer to the Manual for Details.
-Skirmish:
The Campaign consists of about 100 hours of gaming fun. Furthermore we are working on and discussing new Modes.
-Bad Graphics
I refer to the technical support Forum. There you will find
links to the latest drivers. If you still face problems then please attach a DirectX Diagnose File and a System Info File to your post here. This will help us to deal with your problem immediatly.

Enjoy

Let me try to address some of your problems ...

- it still looks like it was produced in 1990(I doesn't look one bit like the cover).

We have heard that when Anti-Aliasing is enabled on Ati Radeon Gfx Cards the textures will be a lot less sharp than what they are supposed to be. If you have AA enabled in the Catalyst driver options, please turn it off (setting "standard") and try it again.

To be able to further help you please let me know how the video option settings are configured, and what driver version you have installed.


- The interface. It sucks, it really really sucks. In normal RTS games you can double click a unit, and all units of the same kind(ie. workers) will get selected on screen.. In SpellForce you can't, When you have 10 workers in a group of 50 other units you'll have to find and then manually select every single one of them.

Do a Ctrl+leftclick on the idle worker button (topright of the screen). This will select all idle workers at once. Or Ctrl+leftclick on a worker, this selects all units of this type on the screen.


- The tutorial, don't even get me started. It took me 2 hours to get trough a tutorial, you can't just skip things. While the "commentor" was telling me howto move my Hero(step 1) I was already killing my first goblin, which was step 10 or so. So you can figure my disappointment when I found out the commentor didn't skip tutorials 2 to 9.

You should be able to skip messages (except the ones with yellow text) by pressing RETURN. I believe that is not mentioned in the manual.


- You CANNOT attack in 3rd person mode, all you can do is walk, walk and walk. WTF do I need if for then ?!

Select an enemy and use the click & fight icons on the upper left of the screen to cast spells. In order to issue a melee attack via click & fight you have to stand close to the enemy. The Avatar does not auto-walk in 3rd person. However the Avatar will fight back by himself if he gets attacked.


- No skirmish mode, I went like "W T F !" when I found out about that one.

This will be addressed in the Add-On.
