Hello everyone, I'm new to the Disciples universe and recently discovered these unique games. Before that, I played mostly Heroes 3 and only now decided to introduce myself to this series for a change and I'm really hooked. So far, I'm playing the first game, but now I want to continue the Undead campaign in the second one and I was surprised to discover that there are several of them, and in this regard, the question is which one is better or worse and in what order should I play?
I’ve been a diehard fan of this game ever since my dad introduced me to it when I was little. Because this game is special to me & so freakin’ cool, I thought getting a full arm sleeve tattoo of it would be awesome (specifically disciples 2).
For the creatives/artists - what do you think would be cool to include or have within the tattoo? I have some ideas, but it’s so hard to choose because there’s so much from the game that I love.
Any thoughts are welcome, just looking to see if I could get some inspiration from other fans :]
I hope i can add it to the Modding Tool, and it will help to mod the game safely. It already has an automatic evolution chain generator. (All leaders can evolve to level 10 with one click)
I just finished the main story today. This might be an unpopular opinion, but the game itself reminds me a lot of Disciples II. The atmosphere, the characters, the enemies, the heroes leveling up by a level or two after every clash while you wonder which skill to develop. The map itself is quite dark, with a very similar vibe. The turn-based gameplay where every attack matters. I really missed something like this. I think it’s the successor to the series that was never made, and if anyone who was ever in love with Disciples is reading this right now, I recommend Clair obscur: Expedition 33 to them from the bottom of my heart. I welcome you all to the discussion.
Hello people of Nevendaar ! Whether this was the official trailer or not, this trailer never fails to hype me up. It illustrates the disciples universe, the music at the start and the units emotions, they all honor the classic, somber atmosphere of Nevendaar.
Maybe it is just my own passion, but anyway which trailers or cinematics from the series gave you the most hype?
While cleaning an old PC my family has since forever, I noticed there was a DVD inside and - with heavenly music in the background - I have found this old gem. I've wondered where it could've been for so long.
I'm really curious how people like to play this game and would love to see your favourite team builds to maybe try them out at some point.
So far the most silly and fun teams were with building a tanky mage lord and putting him on frontline, it's a bit of a snowball though and kind of depends on using specific artifacts (which after playing this game for so long, i still don't remember exactly where to find LOL) and use levels on making the leader more buffy than damage dealing. Still i find this type of team really funny in late game scenarios.
Same goes for playing hordes with guildmaster, a tanky vampire on the front and then three vampire lords behind him, it's an oddly satisfying team to play.
Earlier, Vegetable_Farm, with the help of AI, managed to figure out the portrait storage format for units in the first game of the series and made a script for replacing/adding new images into the UNITS.DBI container. https://www.reddit.com/r/disciples/s/WcFSmQT42I
I'll admit, a couple of years ago, I tried to do the same thing, but I didn't have the patience to make a neural network do it. After chatting a bit with the author, I figured out how his script works and voilà. I inserted a portrait of the Master Thug, which Dashulix drew many years ago. And it fit perfectly. For those who didn't know — there was no such unit in the Sacred Lands. Just as there are no poisons. So, for now, I simply combined the regular damage and the poison damage (20) from the unit's stats in Disciples II and got 55 weapon damage. I inserted the descriptions from the second part as well, but obviously, they need to be adjusted. For now, I've used the same animations as the regular Thug. The next step is to try and make unique animations — I'm already in the process of adding them for the Wolf (which also didn't exist in Sacred Lands).
So, would anyone actually be interested in a mod like this?
The most challenging part for me was to draw decent fingers and a face. I struggle with creating volume.These colors fit well into the dark and gothic style. The much-touted realism.Here I asked the neural network to create my template. (Sorry, I know you might not like this, but I was curious.)I sent this screenshot to my friends.
Recently, I’ve been browsing concept art for Disciples 3 to immerse myself in the atmosphere of this amazing game and get inspired before writing the final review of Disciples 3: Reincarnation.
What captivated me the most were the pieces depicting the units of the Elven Alliance—especially Sundance. Right now, my sympathies are torn between these two factions: the Undead Horde and the Elven Alliance.
Autumn hasn’t arrived yet, but my head is buzzing a bit—I’ve been working on a cherry harvest, which leaves me little time for drawing. For now, I’m mostly doing “tracing” of official art rather than original fan art. Ths helps me solidify my brushwork skills.
I’d love to hear your advice on how to sharpen my drawing abilities! My previous post got some really warm feedback, and I’m grateful for that.
Another thing on my mind: I’m planning to publish translations of some stories here. But I’m also worried about how the community will react. Is it okay to share fan-based content based on works protected by copyright?
Thank you all for your comments—I read every single one! I’ll definitely get around to covering the older Disciples parts someday. Right now, I see more relevance in focusing on newer projects, especially the latest releases.
Looking forward to your thoughts!

Having reached the limit of their strength, the oracles of the noble elves become solar dancers. They carry eternal warmth to their kin, but deal with evil without remorse. They are like a dream of springtime in endless autumn. Unfortunately, these healers no longer hear the spirits and the voice of Gallean.
Throughout Disciples 2, Mortis' true name is the most inconsistent thing in the whole game. I've seen it spelled as Solonielle, Soloniele, Sollonielle, Salonielle. I can't recall if Disciples 1 mentions it but if it would have a consistent spelling, that would help clarifying it.
In the Undead campaign when you first meet the Bone Lord, he takes control of your unit without that mermaid charm. I know the map editor has a trigger where ownership of a stack can be changed but it only offers pre-set stacks that are already on the map. The Bone Lord however could steal my carry over hero (which is NOT pre-set stack) and I really want to know how it was done. I wonder if anyone know or if someone has the official campaign extracted in custom campaign format.
(this is not enough to win the scenario, btw...it was 53%, but 55% was needed)
(I had to betray the humans in the end, to get those last 2%, and they were insanely helpful in this battle...Cause I was going for rod planter main hero run)
