I'm quite incapable at the harbor battle alas, but enjoy the trade, town development and normal naval battles. Sea graphics have aged a bit, but it's a fun game and face it, there are so few games like this. The free play is vast and open, and 3 of the scenarios are quite clever guided challenges.

The spellforce game alternates RPG style small party question and RTS moments - something that is more common nowadays but was quite fresh then. The RTS parts are somewhat easier than a normal RTS but well done and fun, and the RPG is exploration heavy (sometimes acting as a scouting for the future RTS battle). I totally loved it back then and mean to revisit the series again (hence buying it on Steam)

I cant quite figure out why I like the feeding frenzy games so much but the gameplay of "eat whats smaller avoid whats bigger" is fun and th difficulty and gameplay variations keep coming. Neat casual diversion. It doesnt have the screensave mode that the first one had, though
