Sol Invictus
Erudite
Disciples 2 is a pretty sweet turn-based game developed and published by Strategy First, in case you've never heard of it. Rise of the Elves is a huge expansion of that game, that comes with the original stuff in it as well.
The game plays similar to Heroes of Might and Magic but combat is much, much better in terms of both strategy and tactics. You only have 5 slots for units and 1 for the hero, and some units take more than a slot. There are a variety of heroes, each of which posesses his own capabilities and uses, and all units can be levelled up and upgraded to new types of units, which is based on a small tech tree.
What truly sets D2 apart from HOMM is the fact that it is not based on numbers, but rather on the tactics of initiative and choosing your targets properly and the placement of these units (casters at back, warriors in front) and the strategy of choosing which units to assemble your parties with.
It's also one of the best looking games I've ever played, artistically.
It's a pity this game had very little notice from the gaming press and from the gaming community itself due to SFI's inability to advertise. I urge you to check it out, though. It shouldn't cost more than 12 dollars now.
