Which build do I have?

Check where the game itself came from. From d2mm.ru — that is Slasher MNS, take the "For Slasher MNS" patch.

From norvezskayasemga.pro — that is the Norwegian Salmon mod 1.44, take the "For Norwegian Salmon" patch.

The patches are not interchangeable: install the wrong one and the game still starts, but the mode never appears in the menu.

The Mana Forge with a floating crystal

Core system

Mana Forge

Invest gold and racial mana, level the forge and pick one of three permanent upgrade cards at every milestone.

  • Five rarity tiers
  • Damage, armor, protection, luck and economy
  • Bonuses persist through unit upgrades

Depth of the mode

Key mechanics

Disciples II systems are built around a tight prepare–fight–grow loop, and nearly every one got new rules.

01

Waves and bosses

40, 50, 60 or 70 waves. Regular, elite, boss and lore-finale squads. Endless mode opens after the finale.

02

Pre-battle strike

The enemy deals damage before the fight, and bosses also slow you. Immunities, wards and protections are honored.

03

Capital magic

Spells are cast without leaving the city. 32 effects reworked, all 28 summoning scrolls fixed.

04

Living shops

The spell shop sells magic of other races, the camp sells fighters. Stock changes every run and every wave.

05

Garrison siege

After the hero falls, the guardian holds one wave, then the final boss arrives. The garrison grows with your record.

06

Rewards and record

Gold, mana, potions, scrolls and books. Your best result is posted to the global table automatically.

07

Power Forge

Sharpens a specific piece of equipment up to +10. Its original effect stays intact while recognized positive stats grow with every rank.

08

Fusion Portal

Combines two items of one group into an equippable fusion. It occupies one slot and grants both source effects.

Capital development

Nine unique buildings

Some buildings form upgrade chains. Most cost gold plus your race's mana; shops and the Fusion Portal cost gold only.

Current version

Beta · 19.08.2026v0.6.8

Patch 0.6.5 — reinforcements at the walls

Reinforcements have joined the siege. Mid and late waves are more dangerous, bosses carry elemental wards, and only the strongest squads will hold the capital.

No free levels
01 · Power Forge

No free levels

Bosses no longer grant a guaranteed Ascension Elixir. The introductory potion and limited merchant stock remain.

Mana Forge
02 · Fusion

Mana Forge

Forge and sharpening healing bonuses now work correctly, and all 11 acquired skills are displayed.

New wave power
03 · Endless

New wave power

The middle and final stages of the siege are more dangerous. Near the end, the enemy sends its most hardened warriors.

Boss wards
04 · Loot

Boss wards

Boss squads gain more random elemental wards as the run advances.

Endless assault
05 · Garrison

Endless assault

The enemy keeps growing after the finale, and higher difficulties make the assault intensify faster.

Fair experience
06 · Balance

Fair experience

XP from a kill barely depends on the enemy's level, so levelled-up opponents no longer push your squad ahead of the waves.

v0.6.8

Every patch change

The complete list of fixes and balance changes in version 0.6.5.

  1. Paired defence: two players hold the capital together, meet each other in a direct duel every fifth wave, and the duel result counts towards the shared score.
  2. The preparation timer and the state of your opponent are visible right in the capital, next to the garrison.
  3. The duel rating table opens from the main menu: your own place, clear headings and readable winner names.
  4. The duel room moved to a Russian host; the previous server stays as a spare and the game switches over on its own when the main one is unreachable.
  5. Waves: melee fighters no longer land in the back row, late waves are not diluted with goblins, and a boss no longer takes more than half of the wave experience from its retinue.
  6. Fixed crashes and freezes: item dragging, the summon check, a stuck wave start and an empty rating table.

Quick start

Installation

The mode installs on top of Slasher MNS 2.4 or the Norwegian Salmon mod 1.44. The mod changes game files — make a SEPARATE copy of the game folder for it.

ZIP patch

Install and update

Extract the archive into the folder with Discipl2.exe, replacing files. Back up your game folder before the first install. Updates never touch saves or your rating.

Base game

Where to get the client

You need the base game installed. Install the client, copy the folder, and install Capital Defense onto the copy.

Start a new game from the main menu. The Spell Shop and Mercenary Camp are created on a new game and will not appear in an old save.
macOS (Wine, CrossOver, Whisky). Do not drag the mod folders onto the game folder in Finder: it does not merge folders, it replaces a folder completely — original game files disappear and the mode will not start. Copy the contents folder by folder: open the mod's Globals and move the files into the game's Globals, confirming the replacement of individual files; do the same for Interf and Scripts. Or run in Terminal: ditto -V 'unpacked mod folder' 'game folder' — this command merges files and deletes nothing.
