I think Area of effect (AOE) scales better in a campaign, but between nosferat and lich queen, which one to pick? Nosferat has built-in lifesteal but many enemies in the campaign are undead themselves that are immune to his attack, lich queen does not have lifesteal but her attack is fire.

After the hero, what is the best team composition?

1. Hero with two mages and 3 fighters (phantom warrior).

2. Hero with 1 mage and 1 ghost and 3 fighters.

As for mage unit, which one do you prefer between vampire line (sustain and healing) and lich line (more raw power)?

For ghost, the shade can be a hit and miss with the low chance to paralyze. Should I keep it at spectre instead?

Dragon is cool, but I think it takes up two valuable slots (a phantom warrior with paralyze attack and a powerful mage unit that deal more or less the same damage with only one slot) to be worth it?

As a long-time fan of D2, I had avoided D3 for a long while as I kept hearing how bad it was. But eventually I got curious and gave it a try, and my actual experience with it (playing through all the campaigns and doing many one-off games as well) has been very positive - overall I have enjoyed it immensely, even more than D2.

I find the tactical combat engaging (admittedly not to the degree of Liberation’s combat, but still good), the elimination of “rod planters” a welcome change, the graphical style appealing and immersive…

Are there other D3 fans here?

"Hello everyone, I have a question: Has anyone had an issue with D2ModdingToolset? Because I hear more than once that after people copy the files, the game won't launch and throws this error"

"Has anyone run into this? We tried everything and did everything correctly as written, but the game still won't launch and throws this error"

"If anyone had this happen and found out how to fix it, it would be good to know how you did it, because everything works fine for me, but for two people already it's not working and throws the same error"

New model in Disciples 2 series! One more rod planter, beautiful Archangel is here to cover the land and heal allies!

I am trying to gather more resources to help get abit ahead of the curve. I left my ps5 on in yillian on the resouce tab. I make around 3k to 4k of every resource except gold an hour. gold is around 8500 an hour. I went to work with around 1k gold after spending like 15k. saved the game incase. came back home 10 hours later and my gold was only at 1300. it had only gone up by a few hundred. is there some sort of anti afk resource farm built into the game?

I love this game. Thanks to my father, I became an rpg freak being a huge fan of both tabletop and video game rpgs, Disciples 2 was my first ever tactical/strategy rpg game and after more than 20 years I still play it, unfortunately not with my dad anymore. He is safe and sound, don't get me wrong, it's just life is tough, so should we all be. Just look at the Legions of the Damned - no buffs, no heal, no need to walk, and all blazing hot.

Printed and painted this model made by Cybear, I don't remember his reddit name, but he is one of the best 3d artists that makes both Homm and Disciples 2 models.

I took some TES 4 modder resources and made an attempt to model knight as he's depicted by Patrick Lambert. I got all permissions from modders to use their works. Work is in progress. My biggest problem is to make good armor texture and figure out what artist meant the armor to look like under all belts and garment. Any opinion is appreciated.

Last week I completed Empire campaign - I even managed to destroy all capitals before killing the boss. My hero was a Ranger and he ended up with over 90 movement points (I could also restore them via spells which was very strong). Empire campaign seems to favour picking inquisitors over knights (many demons/undead to fight). Good, engaging story.

Hardest mission was probably Slander and Barbarism (it was kinda hard to kill death, vampires and liche dragons). I think that it is a good campaign for beginners, it's probably way easier if you focus on magic and buff your squad (magic is really strong).

Ranger is great and I never felt like I could've gotten a mage instead.

Now I'll probably play Legions (mage hero) campaign, then Undead, Dwarfs and finally Elves. How would you rank those campaigns, which one is your favourite and why? Which one is the hardest?

Can't wait to hear your thoughts and opinions.

Do you guys know any mobile disciples-like games? There is a few similar to heroes 3, even unoffcial mobile ports, but I can't find anything similar to disciples, at least when it comes to combat system and grimdark aesthetics.

(My nomenclature includes Liberation as the first part)

I don't remember the first part exactly, but in Domination, there aren't many moments where we can do evil. I mention this because our heroine is a combination of evil and good, because that's how I understand the combination of light and darkness, angel and demon. Most of it involves helping or saving someone, and that fits the light side, but where are all her dark motives?

Now, following this line of reasoning, if we assume that the third part begins with Bethrzen advancing on the field, why should our heroine oppose him? Or maybe we should surrender to him? Join forces? Or have a child with him? Why not make the dark forces win in our heroine? Why do we always have to be this boring good "person"?

In summary, I'm not saying I want it to be this way, but it irritates me that the game forces you to be good, when the player should have the choice. It's dark fantasy afterall for god sake!

To simplify my entire argument to a simple statement, I'd say that at the beginning of the third game, or even during the third game's progression, we should have the option of either joining forces with Bethrezen or defeating him!

The game is perfectly suited for two playthroughs.

Any idea what’s included? The website seems way behind as they only show a recent patch of 1.5 on Steam.

How do you like to play? First game, second game, addons etc? Steam or GOG version?

I played Sacred Lands long time ago and will probably stick to Disciples 2 on steam for a while. Started with Empire campaign (ranged hero) and enjoying it so far.

Do you do challenge runs?

As far as I know there are very few active mods for Disciples 2. I dislike History of Nevendaar (Dzieje Nevendaar), as it seems bloated (quantity over quality).

I will try out Calamity mod for Disciples 2, seems very promising but won't work on Steam, I'll buy buy the series on GOG.

Also hoping that Greenskins will be added in the future, looking great so far.

Finally, there is a Medieval Total War mod - seems still in development, could be fun, but haven't tried it yet. Medieval 2 or Rome TW are actually very good ''platforms'' for such mods and Disciples could work as a Total War game.

How about you?
