Did Not rule on calls "not to buy", and bought on sale of both Demiurgs... Having Decided that in a collection it is necessary (original disks already is not known where are lying), and to play Prischit-on a virtual machine (or on a noute) it is possible to start...
Checked the first Demiurgs on its Win7 x64, flight, normal. For 20 minutes of the game, the Niaz did not even hang, but AutoSave go before each battle, so that possible hangs is not a problem. Resolution in 1024 x 768 of course Stone age, but even stretched to a wide (16/9) 20inch screen, looks quite bearable. At such interpolation everything is normally smoothed, the stretching of the picture is imperceptible on Menyuhah and game models of heroes and creatures, and taking into account the specifics of the game, and the general "lameness" of the received picture, causes the desire to continue the process, to shake the old . 8)) So, contrary to negative reviews, recommend taking!
10/10 ether P.S. using the fix proposed in the user's review "s-4" about commenting out a certain line in the start-up batik, watching 2 hours of smooth play without any hangs! Click to go to the specified review-http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197983464416/recommended/270770/

One of the favorite card strategies. Really interesting and thought out.
With The help of the right tactics you can win much stronger opponents.
Here There is a surprisingly close interaction between classes, creature abilities and spells, unlike many CI, where there is a cloud of disparate maps and abilities not lining up in a single system, where stronger maps completely displace Need to use any other and generally tactics. Here, the most different (even the initial) cards can be useful at a certain point (for example, in a "quick" deck for the "slow" enemy), etc. Completely change the deck you too will have quite often, not letting you "boil" to one of the classes Creatures, as each strong enemy will need a deck.
From omissions-not very clear descriptions of maps. The Meaning of some is hard to understand without trying the map in battle.
Global spells and incremental steps add complexity and reinforce the strategy element. Often it was necessary to start a mission first, if you have not properly allocated resources and direction of the initial moves, and use other tactics. But the passage was more difficult and interesting, and the feeling of "accomplishments" more distinct. It is a Pity that in the next part they were abolished.
The Review would be positive if this version of the game did not crash/suspend the system so often (6 times over 40 minutes of the game).
P.S.: Fix with full mute in the settings file helps, but play without sound somehow is not the same... All other variants of the proposed fixes, alas, do not work.
(Apparently, the version from GOG is correct for this, because it is stable and with sound)
