Gaming News - November 2003
Montreal, Quebec (November 11, 2003) - Strategy First today announced
that the stand-alone expansion pack Disciples II: Rise of the Elves has gone
gold.
From Strategy First:
The Disciples series has sold close to 400,000 copies worldwide and has
received countless awards for its graphics, gameplay and unique twist on the
fantasy strategy genre. Disciples II: Rise of the Elves will ship to retail
stores on November 20th, 2003 with a SRP of $29.99 and an ESRB of T for TEEN.
“In my opinion, the Elven campaign is the best thus far in the Disciples
series,” says Pro Sotos, Product Manager at Strategy First. “With the added
gameplay features, this campaign is extremely dynamic. Just ask anyone here as
playing ROTE at lunch time has become a must!”
Disciples II: Rise of the Elves is a milestone in the Disciples universe. For
the first time, Disciples fans will be able to play as the elder Elven race as
they struggle to reclaim their forests from the four primary forces in Nevendaar.
Driven by an unpredictable god who urges them to battle, the Elves begin a
massive march towards their fate.
The noble Elves rule their people from elaborate fortresses within the trees.
They adorn themselves with ornate armor and prefer councils or negotiations to
conflict. Their queen is a just leader, preferring the path of peace for her
kind. The noble Elves owe much to the Empire…
The wild Elves have become forest predators. Their intolerance of the civilized
world has reached new extremes and they have reduced themselves to highwaymen
and bandits. They tolerate the noble bloodline, but do not respect it. The
thought of their race allying with another is appalling.
As one tiny oracle heralds the unquestionable will of Gallean to lash out
against his timeless enemies, the Elves must unite their scattered tribes.
Features:
- A New Playable Race (Elves) With Over 35 New Units
- A New Unique Elven Campaign of 8 Quests
- First Official Massive-Sized Map in Disciples
- 7 New Skirmishes (alternate takes on battles…etc.)
