Disciples III - Preview @ GameZone

Some small signs that Disciples III might have improved since the early Russian release.  Here's a preview from GameZone:

The long gestation period has had positive effects on the gameplay. A number of tweaks and key additions have been made to the series, including the ability to teach your character skills via a new skill board, which lets you gain passive and active abilities and powers as you fill out the board. You’ll gain skill points as you gain experience and level up your character, which can then be used on the board as you see fit, allowing for some personal customization.

The game also boasts a deep strategy features as well. Allowing you to build structures with earned materials, you can upgrade your units, customize their classes, or unlock new unit types. This permits for more customization options the longer you play. Building structures takes up a turn as well as resources, but grants you significant boosts on the map.

Thanks, Omega!
