Disciples III - Preview @ Worthplaying

[Dhruin]

Based on a hands-off demo, Worthplaying has a preview of Disciples III:

During our demo, we learned that Disciples III will feature three linear campaigns spread among humans, demons and elves. Players will take control of each faction for one-third of the campaign, which creates some potential benefits and drawbacks. On the upside, gamers won't grow bored fighting with the same units and waging war against the same baddies for the duration of the title. On the other hand, we don't yet know how differently each group fights, so if there are vast differences in strategy or skills among the races, then it might lead to frustration for those who spent the past several hours honing their battle strategy only to have to essentially start all over again.

Man, I still can't get over that they got rid of the Undead. Still, this game looks good and I'm glad that they're apparently redoing the combat, which really needed it.

And Dwarf?! But ok, hopful they both come back in a expansion.

Thats was one of the fun part of DII, and prevented it from getting boring.
