Disciples is a great game. Disciples II (due out shortly) is on the list of games I'm anxiously waiting for (along with Heroes of Might and Magic IV). The only problem with Disciples was that it never had a large fan base, which meant it was REALLY hard to find people to play online. with HOMM III you can ALWAYS find a game on the zone. I just bought Civ III, by the way..
