Disciples 3 - Interview @ StrategyCore

A mini-interview from E3 on Akella's Disciples III is up at StrategyCore:

SC: How involved will your hero be in the combat? Can he be attacked?

Yes, it's the same as in the previous series, so your hero is one of your main units. You'll be upgrading him a lot as he levels. Actually, think of Disciples III more as a strategy RPG title, not just a strategy game. Every unit is unique, and it will be same for unit upgrades, from simple peasant to a squire to a knight or witch hunter for example. Same will go for your hero; there will be a screen to modify his weapons. So you can change everything and it will be displayed on the hero in 3D. You can change all the armor, weapons, even equipment like rings.
