In Disciples III's mystical land of Nevendaar, three factions face off against one another for control of the world each fighting for a specific cause, be it domination or the balance between good and evil.
The creator of Nevendaar, the angel Bethrezen, gave birth to man. To him, they were the pinnacle of all his work and with their appearance in Nevendaar the creation of the world was finally complete. Bethrezen gifted his children with the divine boon, the freedom of will, and it is this gift that made them the most independent, but also the most unpredictable race in Nevendaar.
This race is a perfect reflection of its creator's personality: the improbable and incomprehensible combination of the true light that once shone in Bethrezen's soul, and eternal darkness which now possesses the Fallen. That is why people are so different – you can never tell whether a man standing before you is the noblest of mortals, or is lower than a snake and will kill you for a copper as soon as you turn your back on him.
These days, men worship the Celestial Father and consider their former creator Bethrezen their worst enemy. They have always been a very religious race – and the duality of their nature is also well seen in their zeal. True faith is the power that guides the hands of the Empire's greatest warriors, holy knights and protectors of the faith, it helps the clerics to heal wounds and even push away death itself. And yet the same faith gives birth to fanatics, who are often more fearful to their own people than their enemies.
Men are the most disciplined race of Nevendaar, and they have produced many brilliant warriors and warlords and they are second to none when it comes to healing and blessing those fighting at their side for the glory of the Empire.

While there are some technical issues, it's a solid game overall. If you enjoyed D2 then I can't see why you wouldn't like D3. Many of the functions remain the same, but some improvements have occurred as well, such as using runes to cast global spells during combat, and having more slots open for a larger army. I've only played it for 5-6 hours, but it's been very enjoyable and a worthy successor to D2.
It seams that everybody forgot about how much it took to this game to be released and that the expectancy rate was huge. I will not start pointing to bugs or to goodies, nor do I tell what is good or bad in the story development it is up to you to see and decide but IMHO this game is good and do have improvements as a natural (maybe) extension of the old series. Bugs are present (show me a game that does not have) but there will be patches... I did liked the old series, I like this release too, a 5 is not a true score for it, I have seen worst games in the genre that had a higher score. This game is a solid 7 for starters. Lets try to do this, give it a 10 for the sake of the old ones, then subtract 1 point for what you dislike and add 1 point for what you like in this game. Guys from Akella and Kalypso did a good job and hopefully they will improve this game with future patches or even addons or DLC`s. Is this game worth of buying? Yes, if you are a true fan of the Disciples universe.
