Disciples II: Guardians of the Light is a stand-alone expansion that lets you dive into the fantastical world of Disciples II as either the Empire or the Mountain Clans.
The Empire is decaying from within as self-proclaimed rulers struggle for control of the now vacant throne while a cruel Inquisition sweeps across the human lands, causing rebellion and misery. Meanwhile the Clans, recovering from their near-destruction, begin to reunite their tribes. They have received divine instructions and now seek to uncover an ancient ritual that will let them communicate with their god, Wotan.
Disciples II: Servants of the Dark is a stand-alone expansion that brings you into the never-ending quest for supremacy as either the Undead Hordes or the Legions of the Damned.
On the dark side, the Legions of the Damned enact a plan to spread Bethrezen’s plague across Nevendaar. They sense the threat brought about by the rebirth of the Elven god and will stop at nothing to steal this power for their own purposes. Perhaps most pivotal to the conflict, however, is Mortis and her army of Undead Hordes. After all, the rebirth of her husband Gallean was her doing. He had rejected her for what she had become, a twisted, heartless beast. Now she would teach her mate a lesson... one that would scar his people for eternity...

Legendary game like Heroes. Probably my second favorite game of this tipe to bed they newer truthfully develop this franchise.
does not work, can't play the main saga.
Yeah, not working for me either. Multiple attempts throughout multiple years. Steam version does not work.
Top notch old school strategy!
best game ever
The Steam version isn't working. If I purchase the game license, it should function properly without needing extra modifications.
The same applies to 'Disciples II Rise of the Elves'.
Very good follow up to Sacred Lands. Better in every way basically. It is harder though , I find. Some of the levels have difficult time limits or Victory Conditions. One level I played for instance has strong, infinite spawning enemies and a VIP character that must survive or you lose.
Crushing...
Fun nostalgic game. You can kill a lot of time playing this one.
First of all, the game works perfectly on windows 11 once you apply some simple corrections that are easily found on the internet.
About the game itself, it is clearly something that scratches your HOMM itch, with the following major twist :
You do not stack units in your army, instead you rather recruit single units (in the limit of 3 to 5) that accompany your hero and level with him. At the beginning they are extremely weak but quickly ramp up as you bash creeps on the map.
Whether it is recommandable on not is very situational. It has a lot of irritating cons :
- The leveling system of units is frustrating, as all units start back at each new campaign, this makes each new map a bit tedious as your hero has to babysit them during the first encounters.
- Another corollary is that the cities are extremely difficult to defend, since you can only use your poor lvl 0 units to defend them, and the computer LOVES to build medium strength party just to sneak behind your lines and steal everything he can.
- Your main town on the other hand, can not be taken, as it is defended by an unit with somewhat unlimited power. Eventually, you just get bored with defending minor cities and just bulldoze through ennemy lines with your main hero.
- Combat is extremely limited, your units stay in line and attack in turn based fashion. The only tactical option is who you choose to attack (with even stronger limitations as non distant attacks can only touch adjacent units).
- The end of a map is tedious too : at some point your party becomes unbeatable, and you just have to kill everything, quite slowly since attacking anything consumes half of your move points.
- But you DO have to kill everything for XP, or else your main hero (which carries you) will not have be up to the task for the main mission.
- By the way, the turn of the computer is fairly long, even on modern computers, with a typical 20-30 sec.
So there are a lot of negatives. Why recommend then ? Well, art and animations, are excellent, music is enjoyable, and most importantly the "one more turn" syndrome is unbelievably strong in this one. Maybe this is due to the globally frustrating feel of the game, but you always have something that you absolutely want to do on the next turn, so gamers that are used to old school games, with their various clunky features, might find happiness here.
Everyone said this one is better than the first.
Yet, I find this one extremly frustrating.
The graphics are just a mess of textures, patterns and colors. Like someone smeared butter across your eyes. Its very easy to not see an enemy. Click to move, and accidently trigger a fight with someone who can easily kill you. It's visual vomit.
Secondly, the diplomacy is atrocious. They expect you to keep shilling out money towards the faction they want you to join, and if you do anything against them your meter goes down. Problem is, the other factions dont seem to care if you want to join, and will steal your stuff, send spies and attack you. But god forbid you do anything to retaliate, or the meter will shoot down wasting all the money youve given them.
Your army has very little variety -- it's the exact same variations as last time. Even your heroes have only four diffrent types. So boring.
You would think they would add more in the second game... guess not.
The whole thing becomes a slog, very quickly.
classic
Doesn't work. Tried multiple times over the years.
