Development

Work on the Armageddon's Blade expansion began in early 1999. The developers originally intended to focus the storyline around a new, futuristic faction, the «Forge» alignment, allowing the game to act as a continuation to the «evil» ending of Might and Magic Vii while showcasing the science fantasy aspect of the core Might and Magic serial, which had never been evident in the Heroes of Might and Magic games. Although the Forge faction was almost completed and functional, some fans reacted negatively to its inclusion, believing that the inclusion of science-fiction destroyed the Heroes series' fantasy-based atmosphere.

Midway through the expansion'south development, New World Computing decided to scrap the Forge faction and removed all references to its being from the game's storyline, instead edifice upon Might and Magic VII'southward «proficient» ending. To replace the Forge, they invented an elemental-based faction named the «Conflux». Due to the scrapping of the Forge halfway through the projection, the developers and design artists suffered from a lack of fourth dimension when completing the Conflux faction, and were forced to implement elemental creatures from the base game. This is axiomatic if ane takes a good await at the dwellings of the original 4 elementals within the Conflux town: they all utilise the same graphics as on the earth map.
