У нас на AG есть правило — мы не пишем обзоры по дополнения к играм. Вернее, пишем, но так редко, что любой пытливый читатель сразу поймет: если мы обозреваем адд-он, то это просто супер-хит. В этот раз именно такой случай. Сериал Heroes of Might & Magic настолько популярен в мире и России, что даже если бы Armageddon's Blade оказался полным отстоем, то все равно об этом следовало бы написать. Но отстоев от Каненгема и Фултона (который сейчас, увы, уже не с NWC) ожидать не приходилось. И вот, скандально известное своим футуристическим прошлым продолжение HM&M3 добралось до нас и вас. Итак, Москва, октябрь 1999 года, полночь...

Hiermit verklage ich New World Computing: Das Addon fällt eindeutig unter das Arzneimittel-Schutzgesetz und sollte eine Suchtwarnung auf der Packung haben! Die sechs frischen, langen Kampagnen machen wieder derart abhängig, daß ich mich am liebsten für mehrere Monate damit einschließen würde. Kleine, aber feine Änderungen tun ihr übriges. Allerdings hätte das neue Volk aufregender sein dürfen, denn die Elementare gab’s schon als neutrale Truppen, die Feuervögel und Feen in Heroes 2. Doch die lange Spieldauer und die Verbesserungen entschädigen für dieses Manko dicke. Mein Tip: Jahresurlaub einreichen, Addon kaufen, Erathia retten!

Bei Armageddon halten sich Freude und Trauer die Waage. Geradezu begeistert bin ich vom Zufalls-Kartengenerator, mit dem sich im Handumdrehen neue und meistens auch ausgewogene Szenarien erstellen lassen. Die von Anfang an hammerharten Kampagnen hätten mit einem sanft ansteigenden oder zumindest einstellbaren Schwierigkeitsgrad erheblich an Attraktivität gewonnen.

Armageddon's Blade brings nothing dramatically different or new to Heroes of Might and Magic III's solid formula. Its gameplay additions are subtle, its new town type is offbeat, and its enhanced map utilities are only for the most pious of Heroes devotees. If you played through Heroes III and disliked it, you'll get absolutely nothing out of Armageddon's Blade. If you got some enjoyment from playing through some of Heroes III's scenarios and a campaign or two, you'd do well to pick up this expansion. However, if you were thoroughly obsessed with Heroes III, then there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't get Armageddon's Blade - it was forged specifically for you.

As an expansion, Armageddon’s Blade does not improve HOMM3 to the same extent that The Price of Loyalty improved HOMM2. Nonetheless, despite some bugs and a few lapses in level design, Armageddon’s Blade provides a very solid improvement to the HOMM3 world, and the Conflux town and its denizens are welcome additions. I am certain that the instabilities that popped up after installing this expansion will soon be addressed by NWC and 3D0, and therefore I wholeheartedly recommend this expansion (and the original) to any fan of turn-based fantasy strategy.

This is a nice add-on to an already really great game, if you have managed to get bored with Heroes of Might and Magic III (which I doubt very much), then Armegeddons Blade will add a that extra bit of life, which will keep you playing for hours to come. Even if your not bored with it, then get this add-on anyway, because it's really worth having.

Gelingt es Ihnen dennoch, die Kampagne abzuschließen, dann müssen SIe Armageddon's Blade keineswegs in die Ecke stellen, denn fünf weitere Kampagnen und annährend 40 zusätzliche Einzelspiele befinden sich auf der CD. Des Weiteren sorgen der Mehrspielermodus sowie ein hervorragender Karteneditor dafür, dass der erstklassige Stubenhocker-Spaß so schnell kein Ende nimmt.
