A Time of War
"The mighty Lords have foreseen a struggle for supremacy drawing near; their Disciples
stand ready for battle, a conflict that will undoubtedly embrace death, agony and fear. The
pains and labors of every stroke of a sword, each blast of fiery magic, must be endured
beyond exhaustion. For once the clouds of destruction have cleared, lands will have been
transformed, strength will be found in the coming of powerful new armies, hardened with
experience and callous to the cheers of liberated citizens. Only true champions will stand
against the storm of enemies before them, wielding the tomes and artifacts of their fallen
ancestors, the Disciples must endure hardship, claiming victory for their leader, lord of the
realm."

• Single Player Menu
From the Single Player menu, you may choose the type of Disciples game you wish to play.
The Single Player menu consists of five sub-menus. Each is described below.
New Saga
Selecting New Saga begins the tale of Disciples. You will play a series of linked quests cul-
minating in ultimate victory or abject defeat.
Once you select New Saga, the Race Selection screen will slide into place. You may play one
of four races: The Empire, the Legions of the Damned, the Undead Hordes, and the
Mountain Clans. Each race has a unique set of spells, warriors, creatures, and artifacts that
it may acquire. Change the currently selected race by clicking in either the upper right or
left-hand corners of the screen. Accept the currently selected race by clicking the checkmark
in the lower center of the screen.
After selecting your race, the Choose Lord Type screen will sweep into view. There are
three Lord types:
Warrior Lord:
Warrior Lords are strong fighters. Their parties regenerate 15% of
their damage each day. Conversely, Warrior Lords cannot learn spells above the fourth
level. Warrior Lords may cast one of EACH spell per day and as many DIFFERENT
spells as their Mana reserve will allow.
Mage Lord:
Mage Lords possess strong magic, but their parties only regenerate in
cities. Mage Lords can research all spells and cast two of EACH spell per day and as
many DIFFERENT spells as their Mana reserve will allow. Additionally, it costs Mage
Lords 50% less Mana to research spells.
Guildmaster Lord:
Like the Warrior Lord, the Guildmaster Lord cannot learn spells
above the fourth level, nor may they cast more than one of EACH spell per day. They
may cast as many DIFFERENT spells as their Mana reserve will allow, and their
Thieves are more versatile that those of the other Lords.
You may change types by clicking on the window to the left of the Lord's portrait. You may
change the game's difficulty by clicking on the window to the right of the portrait. To
change the portrait, click on it. Clicking the "X" in the lower left-hand corner of the screen
returns you to the Main menu, while clicking the "4" moves you along your path to gam-
ing glory.
