Linux Port of Disciples 2 Announced

Posted by michael on from the linux-gaming-now-slightly-less-feeble dept.

bobz writes "Happypenguin is reporting that Linux Game Publishing has announced the next game they'll port to Linux will be Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy a turn-based strategy game that was well-reviewed but not terribly successful commercially. /me breathes a sigh of relief that it's not another first-person shooter."

Braced with renewed faith and newfound conviction, each race must once again take up the sword for the sake of their people and the glory of their God.

    Hi,
    I'm currently working a 3D version of Freecraft, which in turn is a 3D version of Warcraft.
    It is comming along quite nicely, and if anyone would like to give a hand with the models or coding or anything, you would be welcome.

    See a kinda old screenshot at http://130.88.226.154/snap4.png
    The game is progressing very quickly - trees are in now, units expected with a week, etc.

    Anyway, message me through slashdot or email or anything.
