    Welcome to our second demo version of Spellforce – The Order of Dawn.

    The demo features the tutorial, one single player map and two multiplayer maps.
    For size reasons some of the options in the game have been disabled in the demo, such as Save and some graphic options. The full version has all these features and more!

    1) Tutorial
    We suggest playing the Tutorial to get accustomed to the game, which has some unusual features that may be new for you. The Tutorial is not played with you main character and can be skipped in the game.

    2) Single Player Map
    This is a modified version of an early map in the game with a mix of
    challenges. The demo version does not allow you to save your game, however. You play a pre-generated character, in the full game you can of course create one for yourself or choose from a range of templates.

    3) Multiplayer Maps
    We strongly suggest trying the Tutorial and Single Player maps before joining in a Multiplayer game.
    You can play these maps via LAN or Internet (supported by Gamespy). You need at least another player to start and you do not choose a race, but rather a monument next to which you will start.

    In Multiplayer you select one out of a range of many Avatars that are
    pre-generated and cannot use your Single Player character in order to keep the match balanced.

    For further information on the game, latest news and patches please visit http://www.spellforce.com.

    This demo is based on the 1.05 version of the game.
    Thank you for taking the time to have a look at this new milestone in RPG/RTS games and we sincerely hope you will enjoy it.
