Wow, Disciples. Now there is a name I haven't heard of in ages. Disciples III: Resurrection is the sequel to last year's Disciples III: Renaissance. If nothing in that sentence makes any sense to you: they are fantasy strategy games on the PC.
Disciples III: Resurrection will feature the Undead Hordes race, revised gameplay balance, "over 70 hours of gameplay," and a story written by Ekaterina Stadnikova who also wrote "the most popular book based on the series."
While the video doesn't actually show you that much if you are new to Disciples III, the screenshots in the gallery should give you some idea of what kind of game this is. Hang on, there was a book?

Disciples III: Renaissance was a good enough turn-based RPG, but the dynamic camera system active during combat phases was atrocious - continually going out of it's way to hide behind rocks or trees and obscure the action from the player. In the end, it was simplest (and safest) to play from the fixed overhead view. Pfft.
Hope this has been fixed for resurrection. It's a great game (and a very good-looking one, too), so I'll keep an eye on this.
