Strategy 02 May 2013

Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Shades of Darkness is a stand-alone expansion for the hit strategy game, Might & Magic: Heroes VI. It was developed by Virtuos, a studio known for their achievements in computer graphics (they co-created NBA 2K13, MLB 2K13, and Generator Rex: Agent of Providence, among others). Shades of Darkness introduces a new faction to the game, the Dungeon. The expansion also adds two new campaigns in which we control Raelag, a dark elf. The players get to know his demonic past, the time when he established the hidden city of dark elves somewhere in the far reaches of Ashan. The core rules of gameplay remain the same. However, Virtuos introduced new units, heroes, buildings, artifacts, and dynasty weapons.

The second official expansion to 2011 game Might and Magic: Heroes VI developed by Limbic Entertainment. The storyline of the expansion titled Danse Macabre revolves around the character of Sandro the Great Lich (a necromancer known from one of the expansions to Heroes of Might and Magic III), who has returned and seeks vengeance on the land of Ashan and its Dragon Gods. The new story mini-campaign consists out of only two missions, during which the antagonist faces off against heroes of both Haven and Necropolis. Among other, additional elements of this DLC, it is worth mentioning several new heroes, a previously unavailable set of artifacts, a new structure (The Magic Menagerie), a dynasty pet (a raven called Alma), as well as the new map of the Xeen region, which draws inspiration from Might & Magic IV and V.

The first expansion to Might and Magic: Heroes VI, which was released in the autumn of 2011 and was developed by the Black Hole Games studio; unlike the vanilla version, the new production has been created by the team at Limbic Entertainment. The story of the Pirates of the Savage Sea takes place a year after the events known from the base version of the campaign. More and more ships go missing on the titular Savage Sea, and rumors begin to spread, about these happenings being more than just mere consequences of bad weather. You step into the shoes of the legendary hero Crag Hack, and are commissioned by the Pirate Council to uncover the true fate of the missing vessels. The mini-campaign of this newest expansion consists out of only two missions. Apart from that, the title features a new map, as well as new heroes, artifacts, a previously unavailable dynasty weapon, a new creature – the Thunderbird, and the ability to recruit elementals at a special structure on the campaign map.
