Old TBS - So good but first time you hear about it ??? - By Navar

Today i give you one of my favorites turn based strategy games that even didn't become so known to the public i personaly place it in one of the best of it's kind.

Disciples II
The game is a classical turn based strategy, witch means that the players play one after the other and this specific title came up from ''Strategy First''. In my opinion not many people know about this game (probably bad promotion because the game is a top on its category). I have to mention that the game have so far 3 expansions (sory if i forgot any) and each one brings up new campains, new futures and a unique storyline. Also Disciples 3 is already out in the market but i havent played it yet so ill focus in the one i have. About the expansions so far we have:

1. Disciples II: Guardians of the Light (you play the good)

2. Disciples II: Servants of the Dark (the bad)

3.. Disciples II: Rise of the Elves (the ugly??? - nah actually this one is my favorite expansion and also have playable the race of the elves )




The storyline is all about the game races and offers a different campain for each race.

The Empire
The Empire consists of medieval humans with Christian-like beliefs and holy powers granted by their deity. Knights, Mages, priests, paladins, and mythic creatures like angels and titans are the main units that combine their armys.With the Hightfather protecting humanity they march to war to defend the evil and save their lands.

The Undead Hordes
The Undead Hordes was an ancient race of magic-wielders that goddess Mortis slaughtered only to be raised and to become her undead army.

The Mountain Clans
Dwarfs and Giants,technology combined with pure strenght and endurance results to a powerfull army. The clans have god Wotan in their side to guide them and provide them with the power of ancient runic magic. (Also my favorite race - dwarfs and giants together :D )

The Legions of the Damned
This race is the aparted by demons, dark spawns and devil-worshiping humans who wish to release their dark god from his captivity, and destroy all that is good.

The Elven Alliance
The power of nature, their fairy like army is all about good mythic creatures, like elves centaurs, gryphons that swore loyalty and flolow the Elven Queen Illumielle.

Disciples II got some strong parts as a game witch they make the gamer stuck in front of the pc. There was many times i told myshelf that ill just take a look on the next campain map and sited for hours untill i finish it. The graphics looks like hand made and got many details ( i like char designs - havent seen something like that), the battle animations are few but enought by my opinion, and comparing to other games of its category it has a unique thingy i liked its about the terain that your race is conquering. For example if you play undead all the terain you own covered my corupted land or if you control mountain clans all the terain you own is covered by snow.




The multiplayer options are great, it gives the choices of many players in one pc or from many, depends what you have and prefer. And there is a variaety of maps to choose or download so you dont play same ones again.

In the end as i fortold this game worths a try for the funs of turn based strategy games and is lot of fun to play with friends, coop or in oposite sides :) .
