Disciples II: Dark Prophecy is a turn‑based strategy game set in the war‑torn kingdom of Nevandaar. Players choose one of four major factions—human Empire, dwarven Mountain Clans, demonic Legions of the Damned, or skeletal Undead Hordes—and build a capital city, research units and spells, and raise armies. The game blends city‑building, hero‑led exploration, and tactical battles, demanding careful resource management and strategic planning. Its single‑player campaign offers a deep fantasy narrative and a variety of neutral races to encounter along the way.

Disciples: Sacred Lands is a classic turn‑based PC strategy game set in the fantasy world of Nevendaar. Players command one of four distinct races—the human Empire, dwarf Mountain Clans, demonic Legions of the Damned, or the Undead Hordes—and battle for control of the Sacred Lands. The game features deep strategic combat, resource management, and a rich campaign that challenges players to expand, exploit, and exterminate their rivals across a hex‑based map.
