About Disciples II: Dark Prophecy

Continuing the story of the original award winning Disciples: Sacred Lands, the sequel adds an element of surprise, as the Chosen One comes to life, bringing salvation to some and destruction to others.  Players still choose to play one of four races and are required to pick a leader and build an army of various units, each with their own skills and assets.  Choosing the right combination of units is all part of a player's strategy.  The differences are seen in the overall gameplay.  Disciples II adds a new event and trigger system, neutral unit AI, hot seat play, a paper doll system and an export/import feature that allow units to gain experience through combat and be imported or exported from one campaign to the next.  The interface has been completely redone and the artwork has undergone a dramatic face-lift.  Players, either new to or familiar with the series, will be amazed!
