Disciples: Sacred Lands is a turn-based PC strategy game published by Strategy First in 1999. Set in a fantasy world known as the Sacred Lands, it depicts a battle for dominance between four races of the world of Nevendaar: The Empire (humans), the Mountain Clans (dwarves) the Legions of the Damned (demons), and the Undead Hordes (undead).

Gameplay consisted of three major components: The Capital City, where the player recruited units, constructed buildings, and researched spells, The Adventure Map, where the player led Heroes and their parties to explore the land, and the Battle Screen, where battles were fought whenever hostile parties met on the adventure map.

The game has many similarities between Heroes of Might And Magic series; like having a leader, creature slots, city improvements, adventure map with resources and hostile creatures along with the turn-based gameplay.

Key characteristics of Disciples:

Small squads with Experience: As opposed to the rival Heroes of Might and Magic franchise, armies in Disciples were not composed of 'stacks' but of small groups of individual units which could only be recruited at the lowest level and would upgrade as they gained experience.

Fixed battle positions: The battles were not fought on a 'map' where units could move about. They had specific stations, but their representation on a plane was purely symbolic, and they could attack any enemy targets (although there were restrictions about ranks and melee attacks), similar to the battle system in tactical RPGs.

Distinctive Art style: The graphics and art in Disciples, both computer and hand-drawn, have always had a very distinctive style to them, with very dark browns and sombre colours, baroque details, and skewed proportions. The overall atmosphere of the game is greatly enhanced by the characteristic graphics.

Disciples: Sacred Lands has a sequel with similar gameplay elements, Disciples II: Dark Prophecy.

Disciples 1 and 2 are true classics, masterpiece games. I still play them.

I remember getting this on a demo disc from PC Gamer, I believe it was, and I played the demo until I had everything that it offered completed. I hadn't thought about this game in decades until I saw the newest available on steam during the winter sale. it sounded super familiar and when i saw this video, seeing the character tiles hit me hard in the nostalgia.

I recently finished the second game in the series, fantastic strategy games.

Great game, I played it a lot. I like that series as much as Heroes of Might and Magic series.

Great playthrough, nice blast from the past!

i recenlty bought this again on GoG because i never finished the game in my childhood. i rly like these kind of games but heroes of might & magic is kinda different. i like the disciples universe more. Would be damn cool if they would make a modern game of this one

I like to space out my front 2 melee characters at the start, and I also like to let the towns heal my toons between turns, instead of wasting gold/ potions, but that is just me. =)
