Played it for the first time a long time ago and it was my first turn-based strategy game I ever played. Loved it. Then, at some point in the future, I just remembered the game and was curious, "Hmm, what if the game's on Steam?". And it really was to my great surprise. I bought it without a second thought and started remembering the old days. The game's definitely worth trying out.

First of all, the game works perfectly on windows 11 once you apply some simple corrections that are easily found on the internet. About the game itself, it is clearly something that scratches your HOMM itch, with the following major twist : You do not stack units in your army, instead you rather recruit single units (in the limit of 3 to 5) that accompany your hero and level with him. At the beginning they are extremely weak but quickly ramp up as you bash creeps on the map. Whether it is recommandable on not is very situational. It has a lot of irritating cons : - The leveling system of units is frustrating, as all units start back at each new campaign, this makes each new map a bit tedious as your hero has to babysit them during the first encounters. - Another corollary is that the cities are extremely difficult to defend, since you can only use your poor lvl 0 units to defend them, and the computer LOVES to build medium strength party just to sneak behind your lines and steal everything he can. - Your main town on the other hand, can not be taken, as it is defended by an unit with somewhat unlimited power. Eventually, you just get bored with defending minor cities and just bulldoze through ennemy lines with your main hero. - Combat is extremely limited, your units stay in line and attack in turn based fashion. The only tactical option is who you choose to attack (with even stronger limitations as non distant attacks can only touch adjacent units). - The end of a map is tedious too : at some point your party becomes unbeatable, and you just have to kill everything, quite slowly since attacking anything consumes half of your move points. - But you DO have to kill everything for XP, or else your main hero (which carries you) will not have be up to the task for the main mission. - By the way, the turn of the computer is fairly long, even on modern computers, with a typical 20-30 sec. So there are a lot of negatives. Why recommend then ? Well, art and animations, are excellent, music is enjoyable, and most importantly the "one more turn" syndrome is unbelievably strong in this one. Maybe this is due to the globally frustrating feel of the game, but you always have something that you absolutely want to do on the next turn, so gamers that are used to old school games, with their various clunky features, might find happiness here.

Where remake? We get shit remakes for nearly any imaginable game, but this gem seems completely forgotten (except for the newest Disciples, which is a stinking pile of rubbish).

Getting Disciples 2 to run in Win 11 So I tried to get the game running on Win11 with a fresh install. Here's what worked for me. Pretty easy, once you know what to do. - Install game - Right click on game in library - Select "Manage -> Browse local files" This will open up your windows file explorer with your install directory already selected. From here, we are going to edit two files to allow for compatibility mode. ConfigEditor2.exe - Right click on file in explorer window - Select Properties - Select Compatibility tab - Tick box for 'Run this program as administrator' - Hit apply if needed - Hit OK to close Properties panel Done! Now for the next one, with one additional step, Discipl2.exe - Right click on file in explorer window - Select Properties - Select Compatibility tab - Tick box for 'Run this program in compatibility mode' (Note: I did not need to change from Win XP SP2) - Tick box for 'Run this program as administrator' - Hit apply if needed - Hit OK to close Properties panel Done! Now you can run the ConfigEditor and make the following changes: - Set Resolution (1024x768 worked for me, but I have seen others suggest 800x600.) - Click 'Use Direct 3d' - Turn off 'Play intro when game starts' - Hit Save Done! You might have to install Direct Play or some other DirectX compnents the first time you run the game, but the game should work if you launch it from steam now! Now, go play one of the best games ever.
