No, I haven't played King's Bounty (yet). Did you mean Disciples?

Huh? No, the screenshot above is from Age of Wonders, a great HOMM-clone. It got a sequel but is dead now. I liked it a lot, it was like a more atmospheric HOMM (if that is possible).

Or u mean they talk Russian in the new Disciples?

Oh, I'm sorry for the confusion. I completely missed your post with the AoW screenshot. I guess I should read more than just the very last post of a thread once I posted in it.

R u familiar with many turn-based fantasty games? Did u know about AoW?

And is there any other ones on the horizon besides Disciples III?

I heard about AoW but never played it. I played 2 HoMM games in the 90s (either I or II, not sure anymore, and III), the first Disciples and my favourite fantasy TBS game - Simtex' forgotten Master of Magic ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Magic ), but to be honest, when it comes to turn-based strategy on PC I'll always prefer and return to non-fantasy, i.e. Civilization. I heard there's a great Civ IV fantasy mod (Fall from Heaven II ?) which I'll try out one day, when I find the time.

I just read today in the latest issue of my favourite PC games magazine that it seems to be extremely unsure at the moment if Disciples 3 - which is fully developed according to Akella - will ever be released. The game development was so expensive that it seems financially too risky for potential publishers.
