Disciples II is a fantasy strategy game, set in a fictional kingdom called Nevandaar (also referred to as 'The Sacred Lands'). The main focus of the story revolves around four dominant races in a state of almost constant war. These four factions are the human Empire, the dwarven Mountain Clans, the demonic Legions of the Damned, and the skeletal Undead Hordes. There are also several other 'neutral' races such as Merfolk, Greenskins and Elves (the Elves became a full-fledged playable race with the addition of the expansion pack 'Rise of the Elves').
The gameplay is divided into three main parts; building up the Capital City of your race so that you can research new Warriors and spells, and building up new armies (this involves careful resource management); using heroes (leading small squads) to explore the surroundings, procure resources and attack the enemy; and finally the battles themselves.

Review SpoonMan 2/5 · Mar 7, 2017
Finally finished Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy. The word 'finally' is quite valid here since I have been playing it on and off for over a year. I must commend it for the spectacular artwork, the intricate unit designs and for being a simple yet addictive TBS game. Unfortunately, the game was annoyingly frustrating, mainly because of the amount of time …
Finally finished Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy. The word 'finally' is quite valid here since I have been playing it on and off for over a year. I must commend it for the spectacular artwork, the intricate unit designs and for being a simple yet addictive TBS game. Unfortunately, the game was annoyingly frustrating, mainly because of the amount of time it took to finish each mission. Leveling up the units was tedious. Time to continue playing Fallout 2.
Actual Score: 2.5/5
