Disciples 2 Norvezskaya Semga

This is the most extensive and well-known modification for Disciples II, which over years of development has essentially transformed the original game into its unofficial sequel. The mod affects virtually all aspects of gameplay: faction balance, unit development branches, hero skills, magic, items, difficulty, and artificial intelligence behavior.

The game has added dozens of new units and alternative development paths, old branches have been reworked, and the roles of familiar squads have been changed. New damage types have appeared, additional combat mechanics, numerous potions, auras and artifacts that unlock new tactics. Even standard units feel different and require a new approach to their use.

Heroes have undergone serious rework: now their development and skill choices genuinely affect playstyle. The previous "foolproof" strategies from the original no longer work — leaders and magic have been rebalanced, and the strongest units no longer dominate over the rest. This makes each playthrough more varied and unpredictable.

The main change is difficulty. The AI, which in original Disciples II rarely posed a serious threat, in this mod can put up a tough fight even against experienced players. PvE transforms from map clearing into genuine strategic confrontation, where a mistake can cost you the entire game.

The mod also adds new maps, scenarios, and campaigns, including both original works and reworked classics. The expanded map-building toolkit has led many map creators to fully transition to this modification.

Thanks to the built-in GL Wrapper, the game has gained support for high resolutions, widescreen displays and modern systems, as well as useful features like game speed adjustment and color correction.

Disciples 2 Norvezskaya Semga changes the very feeling of Disciples II. Even playing through the original campaigns with this mod feels like a new experience. This is why the mod remains relevant many years later, online tournaments are held for it, and interest in Disciples II continues to grow.

Currently, the mod is available only in Russian, but there's an option to enable English voice acting. The developer promises to add English localization in the future.
