This game is beautiful done, it will emerse you in a fantastic world that progresses nicely as your chossen sect gains experience. I loved Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and Disciples 2 is as good, and in many areas better HOMM3(art and story) and in my opinion Disciples 2 is much better than the new 3DO HOMM4. A great game that will not disappoint. Strategy First has given us the benchmark with in the fantasy/strategy genera. My hope is that we will see a Disciples 3 in the not too distant future.

Disciples 2 - The Dark Prophecy is a turn-based strategy game much like Heroes of Might and Magic IV. You start with a town and a leader of your choice, whether it be clan or type of leader. Then the basic plot is to conquer the entire map using your brain and the strength and weaknesses of your units. The graphics are way better than those of HOMM4 but the limited amount of units makes it a little dull in the long run.
However the unit system is much more different than HOMM4. Here you also have to build the structure required for the creature, but after that your creatures have to earn their new evolution stage through experience. Like in any RPG-game your units starts as a basic warrior og whatever, and then evolves into the creature whose buildings you purchased earlier, and thus adding a RPG-element to the game that isn't in HOMM4. The leader system is almost the same though. they start as pretty weak, but later on (if you build them up correctly that is) they become merely gods. With artifacts, skills and statistics the leaders completes the RPG-element.
Bottomline is that if you like HOMM4, you will love this game. Enjoy!
