Editing Armageddon's Blade (section)

== Features ==
The most significant change in ''Armageddon's Blade'' is the addition of the {{town|Conflux}}, bringing the total number of alignments in ''Heroes III'' to nine. The town is themed around classical elements and includes other creatures to round out the selection. Six new [[campaign]]s were included, one acting as a continuation of the base game's storyline, with the other five revolving around adventures taking place in the same fictional world. Over 35 single scenarios were also added.

Returning as non-aligned units, several creature types from previous ''Heroes'' games make an appearance. These include {{Cn|Peasant}}s, {{Cn|Boar}}s, and {{Cn|Halfling}}s. The expansion also introduced some new non-aligned creature types, such as the powerful Azure Dragon. Eleven new campaign heroes and two new artifacts – {{An|Armageddon's Blade}} and the {{An|Vial of Dragon Blood}} – were introduced as well.

A [[Random Map|random map generator]] included with the expansion allows players to create random maps using a variety of customizable parameters. Finally, a standalone [[campaign editor]] packaged with the game allows for the composition of new campaigns from individual scenario maps.
