10 Jan 2003 Linux Game Publishing and Strategy First announce Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy to be ported to Linux Nottingham, England. Linux Game Publishing Ltd and Strategy First Inc announce that Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy is confirmed for release for the Linux platform. Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy will be ported to Linux and made available through the Linux Game Publishing retail channel. Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy returns players to the Sacred Lands where four races - the Empire, the Mountain Clans, the Legions of the Damned and the Undead Hordes - continue their battle for supremacy. Continuing the story of the original award winning Disciples: Sacred Lands, the sequel adds an element of surprise, as the Chosen One comes to life, bringing salvation to some and destruction to others. Once players choose to play one of four races, they are required to pick a leader and build an army of various units, each with their own skills and assets. Choosing the right combination of units is all part of a player's strategy. The differences between Disciples I and II are seen in the overall gameplay. Disciples II adds a new event and trigger system, neutral unit AI, hot seat play, a paper doll system and an export/import feature that allows units to gain experience through combat and be imported or exported from one campaign to the next. The interface has been completely redone and the artwork has undergone a dramatic face-lift. Players both new and familiar with the series, will be amazed!
