Receiving news of her father’s death, Catherine Ironfist, Queen of Enroth, sails for Erathia to attend her father’s funeral. Fearing the worst, she assembles a military fleet as her escort. Arriving on the coast of Erathia, Catherine finds an allied wizard’s tower, devastated from battle and abandoned. There she learns Erathia is falling to its enemies. Mustering local armies, Catherine marches to Erathia’s capitol, restoring lost land along the way. Rescuing Erathia’s besieged capitol, Catherine learns her father was poisoned with a goblet of wine. Setting herself up as queen, Catherine goes to war to restore Erathia’s borders and discover her father’s murderer. In the course of war, in an attempt to counter Catherine’s recent successes, her enemies resurrect her buried father as an undead lich and make him general of their armies. Fighting her dead father’s undead armies on the battlefield, Catherine continues her murder investigation and learns one of her most trusted generals was responsible. At the war’s conclusion, Catherine and her armies surround the last standing. Battling to the throne room, Catherine and her generals come face-to-face with Erathia’s former king, now their undead enemy. From her assembled generals, Catherine points out the traitor. The undead king attacks and kills his murderer as Erathia’s allied generals stand by and watch. Hunched over the dead body of his killer, the lich turns to the woman he named Catherine and once called daughter. Using a spell book, Catherine summons a lightning bolt from the sky and destroys her undead father. Sitting on the throne of her vanquished enemy, Catherine speaks: “Rest in peace father.”
Better graphics, more colors, amazing animations, louder music, and same controls. The battle for lands continues, with a different story and more units, spells and characters to use.
Armageddon’s Blade is the first expansion pack for Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia.
The new elemental Conflux town adds a new mystical environment to the Heroes of Might and Magic III universe. There are seven new veteran Heroes, each with unique characteristics and abilities, over twelve new neutral creatures to recruit, two new Conflux hero classes (sixteen heroes in total), new artifacts, and a slew of fearsome new dragons. The map editor and random map generator have been updated to handle all the new features. There are also 6 new campaigns and over 35 stand-alone missions.
The Shadow of Death is a stand-alone expansion for Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia and features 86 missions and 14 campaigns. It includes the original game with maps as well as 38 new single scenario maps and 7 new Shadow of Death campaigns.
Ten additional teleporters, 8 new terrain tiles, and 12 powerful new combination artifacts are added. Towns are now shown with moat damage and the town-type Stronghold has a spiked barricade.
This expansion also includes all the content (except campaigns) from the Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon’s Blade expansion. However, the player is only able to play as the Conflux town introduced in Armageddon’s Blade if that expansion is installed.
