Disciples II

[STB93]

Ok, so I have this game on my steam list called Deciples II: Rise of the Elves and I got it thinking that it would be a intersting strategy game and yet I have no idea what to do. I am still confused though, is this game supposed to be a 4X game or is it a RPG type game? Do you settle cities and roads down like in Civ or is it completely different? Have you played the game and what can you tell me about it?

It's a bit of both, RPG and strategy.
No, you don't settle cities or build roads, you conquer cities. No option to build them.
There are also no real builder options, besides more buildings for the capital and researching more spells, that's it.
Conquering is normally the only given victory option.

But the combat is fun, and the story is also good (mainly in the addons; fun play the base game first).

One of the best games ever.
It's much more similar to Heroes of Might & Magic than Civ. However it has whole different mechanics than HoMM.

I only wish Disciples 3 wasn't such a disaster. I tried liking it, i really tried.

Yeah, It looked interesting but then the reviews gave it a 63/100. Ouch...

Have you ever played the old SNES/Playstation game Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen? It plays like a combo of that and a turn based strategy game

try disciples 1. it's nearly the same but it doesn't have this really ugly look.

It also has less unit upgrades paths & skills.

It is good nonetheless.
