Disciples 3

[Variol]

Ok, I just installed the game today. I have version 1.06. Am I up to date?

I noticed they made the game so damn dark again. I don't see a gamma slider in the options. What's the best way to make it brighter?

Oh, and the Disciples3 website link does not work. Is it already defunked?

[parcaleste]

1.06.2 is the last I see.

It is that dark and un-colorful, unfortunately.

Nope, site is not loading. Usually not a good sign, I'm afraid...

Developer of D3 (first .dat now Hex and Akella) is no more from some time. What will be with fanchise, no one knows at least for now.
So no more patches or planned expansion with Dwarves.

Here some info about D3 cancellation (in Russian - use Google and common sense to decipher text):

Sorry, I'm trying to understand,
So, these companies made a sub-par game and now they're paying for it? I have no sympathy.

Why why why, did Strategy First not make the 3rd game??? Or should I say, why were they "not" hired to make the game?

Akella just went into shoes of 3DO - too much money spent on different projects and when time comes to pay their bills, they had no money in the pocket.
Hex studio was working on D3, but without money from Akella you can guess what happened.

At least that is what I understood from these news.

I like to use the keyboard for quick saves etc. Where can I find the key strokes? I can't find it in the book.

[Variol]

Anybody...?

[Kalah]

I don't think it has one. GIYF.

[Variol]

How the heck could they omit the keyboard functions??? Who the heck made this game?? I mostly like it, but gosh some of these people were absolute morons.

Why do you ask questions when you already know the answers?

The right form is "Why ask answers?"

[Avonu]

But then, it wouldn't be a quote.

[Variol]

Doh!

[Variol]

Well, I don't know what to say.
I'm on act 6 with Haarhus (or whatever) 99% of the battles are too easy on normal difficulty. If the AI had any brains at all, I'd use the quick battle, but it's too dumb to use my heroes paralysis ability.

Some of the creatures are also too darn big and I can't pan the field enough too see properly. It's such a huge pity. Why why why, don't they ask us "players" what the games needs, instead of a bunch a clowns which obviously have never played the game before?

I know, I know rhetorical...

[Variol]

Is it possible to "mod" this game? Has anyone tried?

It would be nice to have a proper "quick save" key and some more keyboard functions like "D" for defend and other keys for the special abilities.


I'm on act 6 of the Elf campaign. At this point I'm really just trying to get through.
