Which brings us to gameplay. I can honestly say that I have yet to play a turn based strategy game with as deep, and yet as simple to get into gameplay as Disciples 2. The upgrade trees for all the races are both unique and balanced (even the new Elven races’ one), units are varied and their effectiveness is governed not only by level but also placement within your hero’s party, and the heroes themselves can have varied builds that directly impact your success in the game. Add to this the area maps with their mana and gold resource points, cities, a host of enemies, and an added magic system and you have many, many hours of enjoyable gameplay to look forward too.
