About

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, set between Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Price of Loyalty and The Restoration of Erathia.

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.
