Already war-weary, the forces of Queen Catherine are no match for the formidable Kreegan army.įollowing the death of the Kreegans' king, Xenofex, a usurper named Lucifer Kreegan takes control of Eeofol and, driven by a vision, begins to seek a means to fashion an ancient weapon known as Armageddon's Blade, capable of setting the world on fire. As the kingdom of Erathia struggles to rebuild following the Restoration Wars, the Kreegans of Eeofol launch a surprise invasion.
The events of Armageddon's Blade immediately follow the events of Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor. Only one of the six new campaigns available in Armageddon's Blade directly concerns the main storyline. Finally, a standalone campaign editor packaged with the game allows for the composition of new campaigns from individual scenario maps. Several new map objects, including special quest towers that only allow passage if the hero meets certain criteria defined by the author of the map, also appear here for the first time.Ī random map generator included with the expansion allows players to create random maps using a variety of customizable parameters. Eleven new campaign heroes and two new artifacts – Armageddon's Blade and the Vial of Dragonblood – were introduced as well. The expansion also introduced some new non-aligned creature types, such as the powerful Azure Dragon. These include Peasants, Boars, and Halflings. Returning as non-aligned units, several creature types from previous Heroes games make an appearance. Over 35 single scenarios were also added. Six new campaigns were included, one acting as a continuation of the base game's storyline, with the other five revolving around adventures taking place in the same fictional world. The town is themed around classical elements, and includes other creatures to round out the selection. The most significant change in Armageddon's Blade is the addition of the Conflux, bringing the total number of alignments in Heroes of Might and Magic III to nine. It was developed by New World Computing for Microsoft Windows and released by the 3DO Company in 1999.
Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade is the first of two expansion packs for the turn-based strategy game Heroes of Might and Magic III.
