I played Heroes III. I can't figure out the order of the Heroes III series. Help, please! I know that "The Restoration of Erathia" is the first one, but after that, it's confusing. It seems like "Armageddon's Blade" comes first because there's only one artifact set – "Armageddon's Blade," but in "The Shadow of Death," there are multiple. However, "Armageddon's Blade" has the "Conflux" castle, which isn't in "The Shadow of Death." It seems like "Armageddon's Blade" is first because it features Catherine, while "The Shadow of Death" doesn't. But in "Armageddon's Blade," Gelu is older and already trained, while in "The Shadow of Death," Gelu is untrained and younger. So, what's the correct order? Help!:smile11:

I think the order should be: first "The Restoration of Erathia", then "The Shadow of Death", then "Armageddon's Blade", and only after that "In the Wake of Gods".

I just don't understand why there's no Conflux in The Shadow of Death.

I just don't understand why there's no Conflux in The Shadow of Death.

Because installing the "The Shadow of Death" add-on implies that the "Armageddon's Blade" add-on is already installed. In other words, the "The Shadow of Death" add-on should be installed on top of "Armageddon's Blade".

I think the order should be "The Restoration of Erathia," then "The Shadow of Death," then "Armageddon's Blade," and only then "In the Wake of Gods."

Erathia, then Armageddon's Blade, then The Shadow of Death – think about it: in Armageddon's Blade, sets are collected, and if you find the last artifact with an empty slot on the hero's equipment, plus the other parts are equipped, plus 4 slots for "miscellaneous" artifacts in Armageddon's Blade. The Conflux is only there because that race exists in the campaign. Next, In the Wake of Gods (the official version seems to have been released under the 3DO label, and then I personally saw the "Life vs. Death" disk by Fargus, but the add-ons for version 3.5 were authored by Vog, and they weren't on disks). Chronicles is separate (after SoD). I've heard unreliable information about the very first part of Heroes 3, just Heroes 3, if anyone knows about its existence, please describe its campaigns if such a part exists.

The Shadow of Death without Conflux – specifically so that players would also buy Armageddon's Blade.

1. Chronicles. 2. The Shadow of Death. 3. The Restoration of Erathia. 4. Armageddon's Blade. 5. Chronicles: Battles of Dragons. 6. Chronicles: Ice and Blood. In the Wake of Gods does not have a storyline, so it is not mentioned here.

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:(

1. Chronicles.
2. The Shadow of Death.
3. The Restoration of Erathia.
4. Armageddon's Blade.
5. Chronicles: Battle of the Darklands.
6. Chronicles: Ice and Blood.
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.

Yes, there is no Conflux in SoD, but if you play AB carefully, they mention at the end of the main campaign that all elementals disappeared to some unknown place, so it's quite logical that there is no Conflux in SoD.
In general, it seems that 2 campaigns in SoD describe some distant events: in the campaign for Jam and Yog, they even have different avatars, like "Jam and Yog in their youth." But in the 6th campaign, everyone has normal faces (like "after many years...")

I think Armageddon's Blade came after The Shadow of Death, and I believe there are azure dragons in it.

XEL has already described everything in chronological order of the plot
see above

Kyle has already written everything in chronological order of the game and addon releases
once again, please look above

Krigan and the Conflux are not in SoD because at that point in time (which is even before MiM6, nothing was mentioned about them, and before Return to Erathia):)

I haven't finished the whole campaign yet.
And generally, it seems that 2 campaigns in SoD describe some distant events: in the campaign for Jem and Yog, they even have different avatars, like "Jem and Yog in their youth." But in the 6th campaign, everyone has normal faces (like "after many years...").

And also Jelu, here he is still training. And also young

It seems Blade is after The Shadow of Death, I think there are azure dragons there too

There are azure ones in The Shadow of Death too!!!

Of the original heroes, this is version 3.2, The Shadow of Death; you can download the patch from this site. For In the Wake of Gods, it's 3.58f. For Tournament Edition (the In the Wake of Gods version for tournament games), it's 1.03q.

P.S. I mixed up the Tournament Edition... I've corrected it.
