Chronological order of Heroes III versions.

The Shadow of Death without Conflux – it’s specifically designed so that people would also buy Armageddon's Blade.

Cleverly devised;) Yes, in Armageddon's Blade, there is the strongest unit, of course, at the end, but there is also the Dragon Slayer campaign. I played the SOD campaign for the first time, then Armageddon's Blade, and I think I got stuck in Dragon Slayer, especially with the Necropolis and Magic factions, where there are 4k Nagas – that was really tough:(

WoG has no plot, so it's not even mentioned here.

I know, but I was talking about the chronological order of release:) and so, WoG is a collection of ERM campaigns that are in the style of Heroes, but the plots there are not very strong. There is some kind of unique charm in the variety of campaigns:) but for battles, the plot is not so important, and the campaigns are just something to play through for fun. The release chronology is described, and as for the chronology of events, no one can tell it better than Hela.
