Armageddon's Blade expansion contains six stand-alone campaigns, each telling a different story. This is a bit more fun than 'one big typical save the world campaign', and you will still get your heroes to carry over skills/monsters/etc from one scenario to another. Campaigns are also harder than in original HOMM3.
Armageddon's Blade campaign
After the mysterious slaying of demon King Xenofex, Lucifer Kreegan solidified his rule over the clans in Eeofol. Following a visonary dream, Kreegan is rumored to have begun gathering relics to build and artifact, the legendary Armageddon's Blade, which has the power to set the world on fire. Queen Catherine of Erathia orders her war-weary troops to invade Eeofol in order to dethrone the descructive demon monarch. But Erathia's people are split over Catherine's action. Lucifer's hell-spawned army has pushed Erathia's soldiers back to Eeofol-Erathia border, and there have been reports of the emergence of mysterious elemental Confluxes the size of cities. Though these Confluxes don't appear to be hostile, their intent is still unknown. As Catherine, Roland and Gelu, you must fight the destructive Lucifer Kreegan and his demon army before he has a chance to assemble the Armageddon's Blade and engulf the world in flames.
