Disciples: Sacred Lands - Gold Edition (2001)
Strategy First
Play

Disciples: Sacred Lands is a turn-based strategy game.
The gameplay is similar to other turn-based strategy games of the era, such as Heroes of Might and Magic and Warlords, and consists of three major components: The capital city, where the player recruits units, constructs buildings, and researches spells; the adventure map, where the player leads heroes and their parties to explore the land; and the battle screen, where battles are fought whenever hostile parties meet on the adventure map.
The player can choose one of four different races — the Empire (humans), the Mountain Clans (dwarves), the Legions of the Damned (demons), and the Undead Hordes (undead) — each of which has a different play style and a unique story campaign. The player also selects from three overlord professions with unique skills and abilities. Each race has unique army units to recruit, and the units can be upgraded by constructing buildings at the player's capital city and gaining experience points from battling foes or wandering monster parties.
Combat is turn-based, with individual units' speed stat determining what order they will act in. While on the adventure map, the player can move units around and assign them to either the front row or the back row, although while in combat the units cannot be moved. Each unit has a different style of attacking. Some units have a melee attack that targets a single enemy unit in the front row, some units have a ranged attack that targets a single enemy unit anywhere, and some units attack with magic spells that targets all enemy units at once.
