1.0 Journey (PVE) Mods/Maps Preview

1.1 [Journey] Peak Mountains

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2676106728
Story:

Alright, here are the details for your next mission. A dragon has appeared in the old abandoned fortress of Peak Mountains. Normally we would not care if some old beast made his new home in an old ruin like that, but since the dragon arrived, he started to corrupt the lands all around him. Undead started to walk the lands, wild animals behaving very strange and even the local people are getting more and more corrupted and insane. If this does not stop and spreading, all of Nortander will be in danger! Well, the mission is the following, make your path to the old abandoned fortress - maybe slay everything on the way that attacks you - , find the dragon, kill it and bring back peace to these lands.
Difficulty and Design:

Type: RPG

Recommended level: 1 – 16

Explanation:

You can start this map as your 1st map after Everlight, because it was designed that the start is only crowded by easy mobs who can be killed by even lvl 1 chars to get some 1st exp and gear. The further you go the stronger the enemies become, but thanks to the checkpoint and progress-flag system, your progress is saved at certain points and restored on reentering the map(s). So if the map or the enemy gets to hard for you to progress, you can just leave the map with the progress you have reached so far (after a checkpoint save), and continue later with a better equipped and leveled char. Not having to start the map all over.

1.2 [Journey] Storm Peaks

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2676111141
Story:

Have you ever wondered how the Dwarves in the Grimwarg Mountains manage to trade with the people of south Fiara without traveling through Lar? The gate of Kings is no way either since the Orcs hold it with iron fist. No the answer is a secret port in the south of the Grimwarg Mountains. To secure this secret port from invaders, two strong fortresses were crafted into the mountains to guard the entrance and securing safety. These two fortresses did hold for many years, guarded by us Humans, but we got worrisome news that something or someone is trying to take over the port. At first our messengers did report of a storm that was raging over the area for days and then they lost contact to one of fortresses. The last message is now 2 weeks old with no more messages since then. I fear we have to expect the worst. Go there and help our allies as much as you can and be prepared for what may await you there.
Difficulty and Design:

Type: RPG

Recommended level: 1 – 19

Explanation:

Same as Peak Mountains this can be the 1st map after Everlight, because it was designed that the start is only crowded by easy mobs who can be killed by even lvl 1 chars to get some 1st exp and gear. The further you go the stronger the enemies become, but thanks to the checkpoint and progress-flag system, your progress is saved at certain points and restored on reentering the map(s). So if the map or the enemy gets to hard for you to progress, you can just leave the map with the progress you have reached so far (after a checkpoint save), and continue later with a better equipped and leveled char. Not having to start the map all over.

1.3 [Journey] Dracos Island

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2676108826
Story:

This is it my old friend! We finally have found the reason and person behind all these threats to Eo and you must take him out! Our spies found out that he has his base on an island called Dracos Island. An Island who isn't mentioned in any of our maps or books, so we can't say what awaits you. One of our spies told us that you and your friends should land in the south of the island, because it is less guarded then the rest of the island. Also according to our information's, he has managed to turn himself and some of his guards into huge iron soldiers and summons all kinds of creatures to defend his base and the island. Be careful, the longer you are on the island, the more they will take notice of you and take action against you and your friends, so don't waste any time! I will prepare your ships. We are running out of time.
Difficulty and Design:

Type: RTS-RPG

Recommended level: 5 – 15

Explanation:

This map is a nice native 3 player COOP RTS(+RPG) map for up to 3 players with a scripted event based enemy. There is NO RTS AI active on this map that does overrun you without any sense or resource BS. All the units the enemy uses against you are hardcoded scripted and balanced for the exact experience I want the player(s) to experience. Also like Peak Mountains and Storm Peaks, your progress gets saved here and restored when reaching certain checkpoints.

1.4 [Journey] Udat

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2376763094
Story:

Years ago, you left your Udat for Fiara with the goal of studying at the prestigious University of Sevenkeeps. Though you learned a lot in that time, a part of you always longed for the day you will return to your hometown. Today is that day, but as you approach a port near Udat, you sense something being amiss. The clouds in the sky become increasingly dark and faint smoke is visible on the horizon. As soon as you feet touch ground, you make haste, however; once Udat is in sight, you stop dead in your tracks. The city is in flames, most of its outskirts already nothing but glowing embers. Is it an attack? Who is behind it? There's no time for these questions now. You pick up the pace and rush towards it, desperately searching for any survivors.
Difficulty and Design:

Type: RPG

Recommended level: 5 – 19

Explanation:

This map is a little nice compact grinding map for XP and coins with some nice reward loot (chests) at the end. In 25-30min of total playtime you will fight against stronger and stronger waves of enemies and try to defend the NPC’s at the center. The longer you hold, the stronger the enemies become, but also the better the XP and loot gets, and yes of course it saves your progress with every wave you mange to survive. No Progression and restoring feature this time. This is more a nice compact grind and farm map to repeat over and over again to your liking.

1.5 [Journey] Old Whisper

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2376761431
Story:

The town Old Whisper is a very rich town that is desired by many people all over Eo, not only for its riches, but also for its strategic location and healthy lands. This land was included in wars and skirmish all the time, but this time it seems to be different. Rumors say that many enemies of the town have allied and plan to start a combined attack on the town. When these rumors reached the mayor of the town, mercenary were hired to help defend the town. Let's hope this investment was not misplaced.
Difficulty and Design:

Type: RTS

Recommended level: 5 – 20+

Explanation:

This map is the hardest of all. A hord RTS wave defense mission map for 1-3 player(s) in coop. here the enemy is also hardcoded scripted with no game native RTS AI in the background. This assures again the difficulty level and experience that is designed and wanted is guaranteed.

To assure one single player can still produce the needed amount of units to stand the hordes all around the town, the population cap has been increased to 800 for each player instead of the vanilla 200 cap. Trust me, you will need that ; -) . Again the map saves your progress with every wave you manage to survive but does not save and restore the progress on rehosting, because this map is designed to be experienced all over again and again to your liking. At the end you also get again nice reward(chests) but most people told me the best reward is the amount of ancient coins and gold you earn when completing the map (a lot to loot for you).

1.6 [Journey] Wastelands Speer

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812074809
Story:

Now listen well old friend. This is my final mission for you and the hardest one for sure. I hope my last missions trained you well and prepared you for this one. You got a contract to help reestablish an outpost on Xu, south of the Wasteland desert at the foot of the mountains. Last time, it failed because of missing resources, but more importantly, because they had no water. For that, some mages created a crystal that summons water and turned that outpost to an oasis. The problem, the orcs that hold these lands with an iron fist, have noticed that and are now sieging the outpost to get their hands on it. Go there, end the siege, and make the surrounding lands safe, so this does not happen ever again. I wish you luck my friend
Difficulty and Design:

Type: RPG

Recommended level: 20+

Explanation:

This map was designed to be the “end game content” for the Journey mode. You should only play this map if you have cleared and finished all other maps available in the Journey Mode. Here you will encounter only the strongest mobs and bosses the games unit database has to offer. As rewards you will get “ancient coins”, since I expect the players to already have the best items and gear at this point. In this map you will encounter 6 multistage boss fights and multiple very hard mob groups to challenge your skills and gear. I added a progression flag and checkpoint system again, so you can take a break and continue later like on Peak Mountains or Storm Peaks. This will also allow you to redo all boss fights after completing the map for a nice challenge or coin farming. Who knows, maybe you are up for a boss-rush 😉.

2.0 Skirmish/classic PVP Mods/Maps

2.1 Lost Oasis
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1928297741
Type: PVP

Players: 2

Events: No

New Music: No

In the north-east of Xu, near the Skull Cliffs, you can find a small island with an oasis in its center that is like none other. Mostly forgotten now by everyone, it was the location of many battles during the last age, for its rare resources and tactical location. Why it was abandoned you may ask? It seems like something got woken up because of all these conflicts taking part on it. Whoever dares to claim this island again should be prepared and have a strong faith in his abilities.

2.2 Green Mountain Castle
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1954509826
Type: PVP

Players: 2

Events: No

New Music: No

For centuries you claimed this land as your own since it always was your birthright, but ever since the other noble house of these lands tries to take what is rightfully yours, it is on you to prove once and for all that you are the only ruler here with everything that is necessary.

2.3 Battle of the Convocation
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1495794650
Type: PVP

Players: 4

Events: No

New Music: No

It was the dawn of a new battle. A simple fight next to the tower of the circle mages. Nothing new to veterans like us, but then something happened that nobody even in his wildest dreams could imagine.
The earth was breaking up! The flat lands around the tower started to scatter and fire raging like a wild demon broke free, consuming land and people alike without any mercy. Even now the battle still continues, until only one still stands above this hell that came upon us. Oh Aonir, have mercy!

2.4 The White Islands
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1992186234
Type: PVP

Players: 2

Events: No

New Music: No

Have you ever travel across the White Sea? It is one of the most calm oceans Eo has to offer. Full of fish, strong winds and always so peaceful. The islands you can find there are white as fresh snow because of the sun that shines there all day long and storms never touch these little jewels. Some time ago some of these islands were used as outposts, but have been given up since no one ever did fight over them. Who knows, maybe this will change in the future...

2.5 Green Volcano
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2020399403
Type: PVP

Players: 2

Events: No

New Music: No

Urgath is a land of the extreme. Active Volcanoes, endless swamps, stormy coastline and the best thing of all, it is the home of the Dark Elves. Not many come back from an expedition when they set foot on that land. One fact that is not well known by many is that there are some islands in the south of Urgath, who have been used by traders and smugglers alike. From time to time these islands become the ground for some skirmish by these factions.

2.6 Sands of Tuscari
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2069393148
Type: PVP

Players: 4

Events: No

New Music: No

The Tuscari Desert... there are not many places like these on Eo. Places where all forms of life are almost impossible to exist thanks to their forms and environment. There are many deserts on Eo, but none of these are so feared like the Tuscari Desert with its heat, raging sands and these who call this place their home. In these unforgiving sands and heat, there are creatures without any mercy and always on the hunt for victims. Why would you ever wish to cross these lands?

2.7 Southern Godmark Path
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2083058109
Type: PVP

Players: 2

Events: No

New Music: No

Rough lands, strong mountains and wild beats. The southern Godmark Mountains are a located in the east-north of Fiara and are the borderlands between Orcs, Dark Elves and Dwarves. The highest mountains there are covered in snow and ice with some valleys here and there with little lakes that are a home for the wild beats and elemental creates that call these places their home.

2.8 Scattered Islands
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2145750828
Type: PVP

Players: 6

Events: No

New Music: No

Once these Islands have been part of one huge landmass. They were part of a huge forest with some small settlements from time to time, but one day a horrible event took place, scattering the lands, flooding it with rivers of lava and destroying nearly everything. Years later these last fragments of these lands are the target of bandits and mercenaries in search of loot and treasure in the ruins of what remained.

2.9 Fallen Great Hall
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789391393
Type: PVP

Players: 2

Events: No

New Music: No

Once the proud and fame of the dwarves, now nothing but a long-forgotten ruin of their former pride. Ripped apart by the forces of nature summoned by greed and madness for power. What an irony it becomes a battlefield once more by these seeking fortune and fame alike.

3.0 Event-PVP and Gameplay Convertion Mods/Maps

3.1 Event-PVP Mistvale
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2676111959
Type: Event-PVP

Players: 2

Events: Yes

New Music: No

An eventfull and tactical PVP map with cooperative NPC's for 2 Players.

Mistvale was a proud town of traders and farmers located at the border between Wulfgar and Hallit until the Mage Wars broke out and Isamo Tahar's men plundered and burned down the town.
The Houses of Wulfgar and Hallit want to secure their border and claim this town as their new territory. Both houses won't accept that the other house will gain any more territory and
secure it with pure force if it is necessary... and so the people Mistvale were not only the victims of the Mage Wars, but also now the frontline of a conflict between the houses of
Wulfgar and Hallit. Making them Refugees like all the other victims of the Mage War's.

3.2 RTS-Horde Old Whisper (Skirmish Coop Design Edition)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2111064494
What is “RTS-Horde”?

RTS-Horde is a mode in form of a mission or map/scenario where one player alone or in a Coop team with up to 4 players stands against waves of enemies with their RTS-camps, armies, heroes and have a target to protect. The player(s) win if they manage to stand all waves without to wipe or the defense target dies. The too expected playtime to finish this mode is around 90 min. If you need a break, just save the game and continue whenever you want.

What’s the story?
The town Old Whisper is a very rich town that is desired by many people all over Eo, not only for its riches, but also for its strategic location and healthy lands. This land was included in wars and skirmish all the time, but this time it seems to be different. Rumors say that many enemies of the town have allied and plan to start a combined attack on the town. When these rumors reached the mayor of the town, mercenary were hired to help defend the town. Let’s hope this investment was not misplaced.

How to setup the Player Lobby?

The mod-map/scenario “[RTS-Horde] Old Whisper” is a 1-4 Player PVE Coop map-mod based on the skirmish game mode. So just go to the skirmish section and select “Solo” if you want play alone/locally or “Costume” if you want to play it in online or network coop with other players. This map will be listed as a 6 player map so you will find it on the right end of the map-list.

Select it and choose “Destroy Capitol” as the game mode. Player-Slot 1-4 is for you and your friends/AI. Set all Player-Slots 1-4 to Team 1. The 5th Player-Slot is for the AI you will have to defend. Just give it a “passive AI” and also put it in Team 1. The 6th slot is for the enemy logic. The level does not matter so just give it also a “passive AI” in Team 2.

That’s all you need to do and you are ready to start :-) Have fun!

3.3 MOBA - Mountain Path and MOBA - Misty Swamp
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2678174253
Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA)

3 player vs 3 player. Fight the enemy team until you manage to defeat their titan and claim victory.
Loot the chest next to your God-Stone for revive potions and startup money for the trader.

3.4 Team Unit test Map (JourneyPVP) - Open Source project
This project was created by NeoX for education and test reasons for the modding community of SpellForce 3 Reforced. With it you can test out armies, strategys, AI and many more. Alone or with a friend.

I hope this helps a lot of you all to understand how map/mod projects work and how a project can look like.

4.0 Global game affecting Mods

4.1 3rd person view Mod
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2376760486
After a system check that asures you to have strong enougn Hardware for this demanding mod/mode, this mod converts the "follower camera" to a 3rd person view direct unti controll of the selected unit/hero with WASD control like in the old SpellForce games (1 and 2).

4.2 Visual Mod - Forces of the Undead
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2678355325
This is a fan made Community Content Mod which converts the Dark Elves factions into full Undead, Ghost and Mutant Units. This mod effects models, textures and unit icons.

4.3 LVL 50 capaign cap mod with increased leveling speed
This mod increases the level-cap in all campaigns from 20 or 25 to 50 and adjusts the exp calculation to reach that level until the end of the campaign without much grind for it. Only works on new started playtroughs after mod got installed and activated.

5.0 SF3-Script-Engine (3.5)

The “SpellForce 3 – Script-Engine” (3.5 Updated and extended for "Reforced") is a self-develop IDE (Development Envirement) for the Script-language of SpellForce 3 (Angelscript) with the goal to make Mod and Map development way easier and comfortable. Compared to other Editor’s and IDE’s who support Angelscript, the “SpellForce 3 – Script-Engine” imports the base scripts of the game and provides a database over the script-functions and enum’s of the game easier to use and implement in the own script. Also the management of the Mod and map projects is way easier thanks to the own file-formats and syntax checks targeted to the SpellForce 3 base game, Soul Harvest and Fallen God Engine. SpellForce 3 is based on the Script language “Angelscript” who has been modifier by the developer Grimlore Games and is used as the main script language of the game. Whoever wants to create SpellForce 3 maps with events and Mods, need to use this language.

this is great
good missions
i have a problem with the healing potions i pick up, they do not go in the healing potion slot under the character window
so only thing i can do is sell them and craft new ones
i hope i live through the rest of this mission with no potions :)

[max784020]

thank you very much for this, is there a way to edit level cap for campaign?

[NeoX]

@Ryo: thx! Happy you like them :-)

[Ryo]

Thank you for your work on this - having more maps in Journey that are more RPG focused adds more variety and makes the mode much more playable.
