i tried this week this preview, i liked it till i start to growth my camp.

No pause to give order, u have to click to 1 point to nother 1 to put ur order and during this time u're be attacked by enemies.

To many for me, could not be anywhere at same time, saddly i would not buy it just for this.

I said in Campaign mode, i understand in challenge mode is not implemented

There was an option for "Click'n Fight" to put the game on pause at every order.

Sadly Click&fight is crap even if you choose the pause-option, the pause is only for Hero-actions and you have to select the enemy or hero first and then press&hold alt.

If i have a screen of swirling enemys, my heros somewhere within and i wan't to select a enemy Unit...i could need pause to select the enemy..unleashing the spell/skill isn't a problem.
If i wan't to place a building...but stones, tradelines,..etc. block me..i could use a pause to
If i get 4 different attackwarnings, while i am within a questdialog..i could use a pause to
If i ....

Long story stort..the campaign without a pausemod is only halfbaked..sure you can work around, use auras, aoe's and massproduce cheap victimunits to by time...but that's not the Spellforce i like.

PS: I just finished the 2.battle for Bara Gor,it was no fun at all, i can rush withmy heroes and win at magedifficulty, otherwise i have to go back to easy and spam goblins&wargs to secure my areas, on normal i am running out of ress after some time and have to storm the base with my heroes anyway. The RTS-part is just crap imo.
