There is a new 124 MB trailer for Disciples III: Renaissance at Worthplaying. With Lords who are active on the battlefield and units that can travel without a leader, a Heroes fan can wonder if Heroes IV has been a source of inspiration.

"The visual design follows the original ominous and gloomy style of the Disciples world, but now the entire game environment and every individual unit is in full 3D. The combat system will be significantly improved by adding new elements. Disciples III allows a Lord to use spells on the battlefield. Casting utilizes mana, magic energy that is acquired from controlled sources, plus spell cards that can be bought or found. Travel on a global map will be implemented as in Disciples II - via a point & click system. Now, you can also split groups at any time, and units will be able to travel without an accompanying Leader."

Let's hope that this game will really mark the renaissance of the series.
