the first game have 2 playable races and this have 1. the first game had an encyclopedia which this game does not. in the first game i could move units but here i can only control one turret. the multiplayer is a bonus but, when the game is trash, multiplayer does not help.
even on level 1, i could barely beat it and only because the ai did one critical mistake.
i do not understand why so many game developers makes games impossible to complete. specially bad when it happens in the first level. the lack of english dubbing is also a huge minus. the game also wants me to update it, making it stop working as then it is updated beyond the gog version.
spellforce 2 cut the number of playable factions in half. adding a few new ones did not help when the resources was also halved. income is too low to keep up with the costs of constructing buildings, meaning that i am waiting for stone almost at all times. i used all of the stone sites available to me with the building that stone can be returned to. at least spellforce 3 is better once all factions have been released.
i reached a point in the creatue stage where i was unable to get any more DNA because no races was possible to convert(because i have level 4 sing when i needed level 5). i was told to move the nest bug the path to that went through hostile areas where i get one hit killed.
