10. Game Release
10.1 Expansions and Editions
3DO released two expansions for Heroes of Might and Magic III. The first expansion, Armageddon’s Blade, was released in the same year, 1999, and, in addition to new campaigns and scenarios, included many new gameplay elements, the most important of which was a new, 9th type of town – the Conflux. The second expansion, The Shadow of Death, followed in 2000, bringing new artifacts and objects to the map...
In 2000, the Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete collection was released, which combined all three versions of the game – the original and the expansions...
In SoD, the Conflux was disabled, and there was no random map generator. Both are present in the Complete Collection, and in SoD, they can be unlocked by installing the simple ABinSoD patch. If you need it, let me know, and I'll give you the link (although it's probably already somewhere on the forum, but I need to look for it).
Playing now, especially online, makes sense only in "The Shadow of Death" (with that patch) or "Complete Collection". But not in "Armageddon’s Blade" or "The Restoration of Erathia" (original or HD remake). And it's almost essential to use the HD mod.
