En attendant la sortie en version anglaise de Disciple III Renaissance, prévue pour juillet prochain, Kalypso Media se propose de nous présenter les trois factions du jeu, à savoir : l’Empire, les Légions des Damnés et les Elfes.
Cette première annonce se focalise sur l’Empire, cependant il n’est nulle question ici de se pencher sur une présentation d’éléments de gameplay concrets, propres à cette faction, mais simplement sur son historique.
En résumé, on apprend ainsi que la race humaine, composant l’Empire, doit sa naissance à l’ange Bethrezen, créateur du monde de Nevendaar. On retrouve chez les humains la dualité entre ombre et lumière, bien et mal, caractéristique de leur créateur. Ce qui explique les différences notables de mentalité au sein des communauté humaines.
L’Empire est une faction fortement imprégnée par la religion. C’est la foi qui confère aux chevaliers et aux clercs leurs pouvoirs. Parmi les trois races présentes, l’humanité est ainsi la plus douée pour ce qui est de prodiguer des soins. Revers de la médaille, certains parmi les hommes succombent à la tentation du fanatisme, devenant ainsi plus dangereux que les ennemis de l’Empire.
Cette présentation sommaire est heureusement accompagnée d’une série de screenshots et artworks illustrant les unités propres à la faction impériale.

Bracknell, UK – 27th May 2010
Kalypso Media, a global publisher of award-winning PC and console games, today unveiled the first in a series of three updates focusing on the unique factions that inhabit the world of Nevendaar in Disciples III: Renaissance. The first update, available today, examines The Empire, a powerful and devout race of warriors led by the heroic Lambert. Read more about The Empire and prepare yourself to do battle in Disciples III: Renaissance, the upcoming tactical-RPG for Windows PC from Kalypso Media, which is set for a release this summer.
Disciples III: Renaissance Factions Overview – The Empire
In Disciples III’s mystical land of Nevendaar, three factions face off against one another for control of the world — The Empire, The Legions of the Damned and the Elves. Each faction is fighting for a specific cause, be it complete domination of Nevendaar, or simply maintaining the balance between good and evil.
In this Factions overview, we look at The Empire, a devout race of human warriors.
The Empire
The creator of Nevendaar, the angel Bethrezen, gave birth to man. To him, they were the pinnacle of all his work and with their appearance in Nevendaar the creation of the world was finally complete. Bethrezen gifted his children with the divine boon, the freedom of will, and it is this gift that made them the most independent, but also the most unpredictable race in Nevendaar.
This race is a perfect reflection of its creator’s personality: the improbable and incomprehensible combination of the true light that once shone in Bethrezen’s soul, and eternal darkness which now possesses the Fallen. That is why people are so different – you can never tell whether a man standing before you is the noblest of mortals, or is lower than a snake and will kill you for a copper as soon as you turn your back on him.
These days, men worship the Celestial Father and consider their former creator Bethrezen their worst enemy. They have always been a very religious race – and the duality of their nature is also well seen in their zeal. True faith is the power that guides the hands of the Empire’s greatest warriors, holy knights and protectors of the faith, it helps the clerics to heal wounds and even push away death itself. And yet the same faith gives birth to fanatics, who are often more fearful to their own people than their enemies.
Men are the most disciplined race of Nevendaar, and they have produced many brilliant warriors and warlords and they are second to none when it comes to healing and blessing those fighting at their side for the glory of the Empire.
Disciples III: Renaissance is the next title in the award-winning Disciples eries and represents a huge leap forward in the evolution of the turn-based RPG/strategy genre. Building on the successes of the first two games, isciples III: Renaissance introduces a host of new features as well as the compelling gameplay that made the previous titles so popular.
