I've never quite been able to get into the Spellforce series, but I'm wondering if this entry might change my mind:
https://conquest.spellforce.com/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1581770/SpellForce_Conquest_of_Eo/
It's turn-based, for one thing (as opposed to the previous games). For another, it looks like they're aiming to produce more of a grand-strategy-style title, whereas the previous games have felt more like your bog-standard RTS base-building affairs.
I'm still not going to hold my breath, but I will at least be keeping my eye on this one.

I followed it a bit but there did seem to be a lot of negative reviews, mainly performance issues IIRC.

Any idea which one that was? There have been a number of games in the Spellforce series over the years.
In any case, it sounds like it's a different team working on this new one. I think the devs for Conquest of Eo are the same folks behind the recent Fantasy General games.

It was Spellforce III as far as I recall.

Well I've already lost interest after seeing this dev post (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1581770/discussions/0/3424438414124100672/?ctp=2#c3418810907932902597) in the Steam forums:
- It's 4x RPG, but not with the usual territorial expansion as your focus is on the mage and his minions, not kings and castles
- One main base, but yo can have "outposts"
- Closer to FG2, though without the upgrading "tree"
- The end-game goal is the same, but there are many many paths to it.
I'm sure some people enjoy those kinds of games, but the first two points make it a no-go for me.
-
Top of my list - I enjoy the other Spellforce games and I like the new direction this one is going.

A mobile wizard's tower. I'll admit that's different.

I cannot wait for this!
