You might say that I'm the perfect example of the target audience for turn-based strategy games. I'm a classic turtler, and love to take my time building up my kingdom and heroes, and am also a fantasy fiction fan. Slow, evenly paced gameplay is right up my alley. I'm also big on tradition and nostalgia, and don't really want things to change very much in updated versions of favorite classics, like HOMM. I was really torqued when HOMMV was cancelled, as it's one of my favorite series ever. So, it's rather odd that I've never gotten around to playing the Disciples games, which are similar in gameplay to the HOMM series. Well, with Disciples II Gold, I can definitely become acquainted with this excellent series, as it includes not only Disciples II, but three expansion packs as well.
