In practice, SpellForce is a real-time strategy game that features traditional base-building and resource gathering, but it lets you maintain bases of operation in different areas. This means that you don't always have to start out from scratch when beginning a new level, since you can sometimes jump back to your previously built fortress for supplies. The entire world, at least in the single-player game, consists of floating "islands" connected by portals that you can use to jump to and from different locations, which you'll do to advance the story. You can also use the portals to revisit your holdings. You play the game using a persistent hero character who gains levels, picks up items, and can learn spells, depending on which profession you choose. You can also use built-up hero characters in the game's multiplayer modes.
While SpellForce wasn't perfect right out of the box at release, it does have a number of unusual features that help set it apart from other, more-conventional games.
