The development of the module was handled by Mario Argüello, who had previously worked on . The original set of four units, on which the expansion pack is based, was called "Blade" in early internal test builds. It was renamed to "Unit" in the final version.
A fourth expansion pack, "Legions of Madness", was also announced in December 2004. The second expansion pack was released on June 8, 2006. It was developed by Alawar Entertainment, and it was called "The Wrath of Heroes".
Gameplay
The core gameplay of the game includes the same combat system as in the original game, but a few changes have been made. The shield is no longer an aura, and instead, the defensive strength of the Heroes increases automatically as they gain experience. In addition, in the original game there was a risk of losing control of the Heroes if the battle went against them. The odds of winning also now depends on the number of Heroes in a party, since every successful attack lowers the odds of being killed by one of the enemy Heroes, and by winning, each Hero can gain experience.
As in Heroes of Might and Magic III, the game features some new units, such as the Tankard unit, an upgrade of the Ork infantry, and the Ogre unit, which is a combination of the infantry and the weapon of the same name.
