Game Notes:
Disciples: Sacred lands is a turn-based strategy game depicting the
struggle of four races-the Empire, the Mountain Clans, the Undead Hordes,
or the Legions of the Damned-for the survival and dominance of their
war-torn world. Gamers control one of the races as they guide them
through the chapters of the Saga, developing powerful Mages and Warriors,
discovering ancient artifacts and scrolls, and leading parties of
intriguing characters in battles of sword and sorcery.
Enter the realm of the Sacred Lands and take on the quest as champion of
your people and defender of your god.

Game Features:
-- Engage in classic turn-based strategy and R.P.G action in a fully
explorable medieval world.

-- Battle for your God as a fully playable champion from any one of four
distinct races.

-- Master over 100 spectacular spells each boasting its own dynamic
animation.

-- Engrossing storyline weaves through four complete campaigns, multiple
scenarios, and hundreds of hours of gameplay.

-- Take on the challenge of the Sacred Lands as a Mage, Warrior or
Guildmaster--all possessing unique strengths and weaknesses.

-- Battle to the death as a champion from any one of four completely
distinct races.

-- Exclusive experience model allows for ground-breaking variety and
depth of character evolution.

-- Powerful Scenario Editor allows you to create your own series of
quests.

-- Clash in Multiplayer action over Internet and LAN.

Release Notes:
ORiGiN apologises for the recent amount of doth owning majors we have been
releasing recently, like HomeWorld, Rouge Spear, Driver, Settlers 3 QOTA,
etc. etc. So, now with this release we are going back to basics with a
normal traditional ORiGiN limey release ;)

Also you may think RAZOR released DRIVER before ORIGIN. well they did.
But there version does not count. Why? Well for many reasons but the
biggest is that they used the German executable from the german version
by BLH as a crack. As they had no crack of their own. This resulted in
their version having GERMAN text in the game, where there should have
been ENGLISH. Thus their crack of DRIVER is not the FULL 100% English
version.
Also as this crack was done by BLH for the GERMAN version, they needed
permission to use it. Which BLH now tell us they NEVER gave to razor!
Thats becuase CLS actually cracked it for BLH, and therefore they did
not have the permission to give it to RZR anyway.
Now we could go on about how lame RZR are for having no english crack
and also STEALING a crack from another group. But we are not going to do
that, all we are going to say is NUKE the RZR release for being a GERMAN
DUPE of the BLH release and accept the ORiGiN release for being 100%
english first working version and also its cracked by us and not STOLEN
like the RZR version. NUKE RZR!

ORIGIN: who is the current leader now?
RZR-MEMBER: none
RZR-MEMBER: no leader
ORIGIN: so who made the decision to release DRIVER ?
RZR-MEMBER: toast
ORIGIN: you sure?
RZR-MEMBER: yup
RZR-MEMBER: toast told me to go get OGN nuked
RZR-MEMBER: on sites
RZR-MEMBER: as well
RZR-MEMBER: he said razor's fine, a little german never hurt anybody
ORIGIN: and Hitler was big?

Of course that RZR member does not want to be named, however we did find a
RAZOR cracker who was willing to go on the record about their GERMAN
release:

<[BeeP]> well, i wanted it nuked as soon as i heard
<[BeeP]> and u can quote me on that

So even RAZORs finest UK cracker says that their version should be nuked!
Do we have to go on? oh okay then.

Still don't beleive us? Well check out driver.zip, where you will find
a driver.jpg which you can load into any browser. There you will clearly
see the GERMAN text on the RZR release. NUKE it and NUKE it NOW!

Well it seems RZR has official owned up to this crap and nuked there own
release. We could rag here, but we won't. It was a brave and honest
decision by RZR and they should be commended for admitting their mistake
on loosing this major.
One worry point is that some of them still have not learn't the
error of their ways!

<|Blitz|> Who cares if we steal from EA or MPS or steal from another group

Oh dear, here we go again!
