Antagarich is in danger. The Necromancer, Sandro, has designs on the kingdom and will stop at nothing in leading his undead legions to achieve his goal of total power. Fortunately, he needs two powerful artifacts before he can subjugate the land and people to his will. Opposing him are four heroes, united in their efforts to gain the illusive Angelic Alliance sword, an artifact that will enable them to fight the undead.

Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death, a combination re-release and enhancement pack, is a turn-based adventure in the tradition of the Heroes of Might and Magic series. The game contains the full version of Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia and the companion product, Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade.

Certain elements of gameplay and characters contained in these two games have been enhanced, expanded or revised. In fact, Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death is designed to completely replace pre-existing Heroes of Might and Magic III games and the installation process insures that users will be able to access all existing maps, scenarios, campaigns and saved games from previous iterations.

New features in the game include a myriad of enhancements and add-ons. There are 38 new stand-alone Shadow of Death scenarios that depict events leading up to the story played out in The Restoration of Erathia. All together, this brings the total number of scenarios to 86 in addition to 14 epic campaigns and seven new Shadow of Death campaigns. An additional 23 new neutral creatures have been added including various elementals (ice, magma, energy, psychic, magic and storm) as well as characters such as pixies, sprites, peasants, nomads, trolls, enchanters, sharpshooters, dragons and more.

Other new features include combination artifacts, selectable campaign difficulty levels, eight new special terrain types (magic plains, cursed grounds, holy ground, evil fog, clover fields, lucid pools, fiery fields and rocklands) along with favorable winds and magic cloud aspects. Moats now damage troops in siege combat, several combat units have updated statistics for better game balance and heroes can now control Arrow Towers if they possess the artillery secondary skill.

Improvements have been made to adventure objects such as new types of quests for Seer's Huts, a requirement to complete quests prior to passing through Quest Gates and the continued existence of Border Gates guarding passes (not Border Guards). Creatures can now be recruited at either base level or upgraded levels and creatures can now deployed to guard mines.

Rounding out Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death is inclusion of a fully developed Campaign Editor as well as many new enhancements to the Map Editor (e.g., mass cut, copy and paste, new adventure objects) with the added capability to edit randomly generated maps. Multi-player action is supported for up to eight players via LAN, Internet, modem or hot-seat.

ITEM IS: USED - CD IN SLEEVE



WHAT YOU GET:

This auction is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

SHIPPING:

We typically ship all items out within 2-4 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage. We combine shipping and handling, with each additional item after the first just $2 more. Message us for an invoice if Ebay doesn't automatically adjust it.

International buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
