E3 Footage: Disciples III

Here is some Gametrailers footage for Disciples 3:




What I can determine based on the footage is that Disciples III is keeping the strategy-RPG elements from Disciples II which is the strategic overworld map, the recruitment and equipping of heroes, and the dark, gothic fantasy artwork that made the game series different from the bloom brightness of the Heroes of Might & Magic series.

What is also different is the combat system. In Disciples II, Combat was in a tranfixed area with simplistic controls in a round-based turn system. A unit was highlighted and was given two types of actions, a special move, or selection of target to attack. In Disciples III, there is now a grid-based system similar to the Heroes of Might & Magic combat system. You can now move your units like chess pieces across a grid.

Hopefully the changes in the combat system will work and integrate itself well in the game. For lovers of the strategy-RPG genre, the game will arrive in North America in July 2010. Visit the Disciples III website for more details.
