About This Game

It is now the dawn of a new age. The most momentous of wars has begun in the heart of
the Sacred Lands. Four races - the Empire, the Mountain Clans, the Undead Hordes and the
Legions of the Damned - stand ready for battle as they fight for the survival and dominance
of their war-torn world, and the gods they have long believed in.

The Mighty Lords watch silently as their Disciples prepare for the daunting tasks ahead.
Each warrior must engage in a struggle of swordplay, sorcery, and uncommon courage in order
to complete their sacred quests.

The Empire fight to secure their people's future; The Mountain Clans search to regain their
rune knowledge; The Undead Hordes seek revenge for their accursed god; and The Legions of the
Damned battle to resurrect their fallen angel's soul. It is a struggle of desperation.

Every stroke of a sword, each blast of fiery magic must be endured beyond exhaustion. For once
the clouds of destruction clear, lands will have been transformed, new armies will have been
forged and the cheers of the liberated will resound throughout the land.

The day of reckoning has come...

Only one race shall claim victory. Only the chosen will survive.


Features:

*Gold Edition includes over 25 new scenarios created by the developers and improved multiplayer functionality.

*Engage in classic turn-based strategy and RPG action in a fully explorable medieval world.

*Master over 100 spectacular spells, each boasting its own dynamic animation.

WHen i saw this added on steam i'm not gonna lie i flipped out. Have always wanted to play this after countless hours on 2 way back when as a kid and while the games differ slightly still same concept. I was only disappointed by the game feeling more high fantasy over dark fantasy like its sequel but it's still great

Works on Win7 64 after manual editing of .ini file.

The first game of one of the three major hero-based TBS series. The game has interesting visual style, awesome sound and music. It's a competent TBS with terraforming and simple utilitarian combat mechanics.

The story is very good and the overall lore is pretty epic. The undead here are not a rеtarded reskin of daemons as usuall, but true undead, with their own agenda, not necessary "evil". Especially considering their origin story. Even deamons' faction not just pure evil like everywhere else.

The voice acting can scare some off, but it is very good and really appropriate to the world of Nevendaar. Sound design is vivid and grimdark. Visual style combines some asian animu tropes with western epic style and adds layer of gritty medieval realism. While the 3D pre-rendered sprites are surely outdated, they are not that bad. And all magic animations are purely awesome.

It takes some time before running this old game on Steam....
Now I am sure it's playable, so I give it a "thumb up".
(Thanks to this post http://steamcommunity.com/app/281450/discussions/0/613937943176590167/

Disciples has a simple game machanic and epic background story. It's one of my favorite games.
Now it's on Steam. Still the same good old game! They did not even fix the occasional color problem, and the yellow "miss" are still everywhere in battles! Good memories XD

Although I will probably leave this game in my library instead of playing it...
I had already played it for hundreds of hours when I still got a CD-rom on my computer...

Loved this game when I was a kid so I bought it for some nostalgia, and it really is something special to play this now when I'm 20 years old.

If you happen to buy this and want to fix the little issue it has when starting with steam simply follow this:

Go to your library and right click Disciples Sacred Lands Gold go to properties go to the Local Files tab and click "Browse Local Files" from there go into the folder called "Exe" and open up the Configuration file called Disciple.INI scroll towards the bottom until you reach where it says "[Installation]" change everything under this to your harddrive where steam is installed like this for example:
[Installation]
globals=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\globals
imgs1=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\imgs1
imgs2=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\imgs2
interf=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\interf
scenarios=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\scens
sounds1=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\sounds1
sounds2=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\sounds2
music=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\music
video=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\video
imgdata=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\imgdata
campaign=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\campaign
exports=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\exports
savegame=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\savegame
briefing=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\briefing
scendata=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\scendata

[InstallationClient]
globals=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\Globals
imgs1=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\imgs1
sounds1=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\sounds1
music=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\music
imgdata=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\imgdata
briefing=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\briefing

So if Steam was installed on your C:\ drive
it would say globals=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Disciples Sacred Lands Gold\globals
for example.

Happy gaming people

Around twenty years ago there's three leaders among fantasy TBS: Heroes of Might and Magic, Age of Wonders and Disciples. All of these are beautiful gem of game design. No, really, everything in this old game is perfect. Balance is good, music is charming and atmospheric, the story is simple but catchy and the art is really cool. Also it's worth to mention AI. Despite second part, here you really have to fight, even on the easy level.

Speaking in two words: You HAVE TO PLAY it.

It desperatly needs an update for more modern machines. Its like playing in windowed mode with it a 4" window, only its set to full screen and outside the 4" is just black. Wouldnt recomend paying money for it unless youre a sucker like the guy typing this
