Disciples III: Renaissance
A few weeks ago we were introduced to The Empire, a human warrior and healer race in Disciple III: Renaissance. Today, Kalypso Media has released some information for the second playable faction, the Legions of the Damned. Their M.O. sounds exactly like you would expect: the Legions' goal is to give their fallen leader a physical form so that he can conquer the world.
It's very sinister and evil. There are some screenshots below that show the faction in action. You can also read on to get more details and the back-story of the Legions of the Damned. Disciple III: Renaissance will be released on PC later this summer.

In the second of the factions overview we delve into the dark origins of The Legions of the Damned, the cursed who walk the lands of Nevendaar.
The Legions of the Damned
If there is a force to spread disgust and fear in the hearts of all the peaceful inhabitants of Nevendaar it would be Bethrezen's younger children: the demons. They call themselves the Legions of the Damned. Called so as they are many and all of them cursed along with their creator, who was thrown into the fiery hell by the Celestial Father. Like men, they are fearful in battle, but they win not by virtue of true faith or superior combat skills but their devouring rage and fury is what makes them so formidable.
They say that demons know no fear. Indeed, what can possibly stop a being that knows that after falling in battle, it will once again be sent to the hell where its kin dwell, and there it shall be reborn even more powerful than before? Only the wrath of Bethrezen is something they have to fear, for the ire of the Fallen is too great for even a demon to withstand.
Born in the roaring flame of the prison where the betrayed angel was doomed to suffering, they are now driven by the pain and hatred of their creator. They are destined to bring the cleansing flame upon the lands of Nevendaar and chastise those who had denied their creator and abandoned him. Bethrezen's lust for revenge is insatiable, and so his monsters will come into the world of Nevendaar over and over again, until their mission is fulfilled.
