I'd like to see Disciples go to Disciples IV.  Disciples III isn't too 
bad but they have about a zillion pixels spinning animation whenever you 
visit your castle.  What's good about Disciples is that it is like an 
RPG with several parties.  I got into it at first because of the 
similarities to Heroes.  I won the Undead campaign in Disciples II.  My 
Ghosts are unstoppable.
