SpellForce III: Soul Harvest – Oktoberfest DLC Available

Beer, pretzels and real-time strategy. If you agree that these three things go well together, then you should direct your attention to the free Oktoberfest DLC for Grimlore Games’ RTS/RPG hybrid SpellForce III: Soul Harvest. The DLC features a new Bavaria-themed skirmish map, a unique brewmaster hero, and some new music. Here’s the official trailer:

And some additional details:

One crisp fall morning, General Aerev received an urgent letter from Queen Ayelith herself. It reads as follows:
General,
Reports have informed us of a barbaric ceremony taking place in the distant land of Bavaria: the „Oktoberfest.“
While no one knows the exact nature of the dark transgressions there, scouts report blasphemy and debauchery of unparalleled dimensions. Intoxicated by excessive amounts of alcohol and hypnotized by unholy tunes called “Blasmusik,” the Oktoberfest is said to break even the most virtuous spirits—prompting men and women alike to break into salacious dance and mindlessly roar along to music of questionable taste.
For the sake of morality and all that’s good and holy, Your Queen commands you to foray into Bavaria, seize control of the ceremonial grounds, and put an end to this debauchery. A specialized general from Bavaria with knowledge of native battle tactics shall aid you in your endeavors.
If possible, do return a barrel of “Wiesnbier” to Nortander upon emerging victorious. Or two.
For, uhm, research.
Signed,
Queen Ayelith
