== [[Armageddon's Blade Manual Page 10|Manual]] description ==
In the nation of [[Nighon]], a young ambitious female [[overlord]] named [[Mutare]] seeks to defeat an aging, ineffective neighbor, [[Ordwald]], who has squandered his land and done nothing to deserve his valuable territory. Lead [[Mutare]] and her armies as she attempts to gain rule over a larger portion of [[Nighon]]. In her campaign to expand her territory, [[Mutare]] learns of a fabled magical vial of Dragon's Blood that, when ingested, will transform a human into a powerful sentient dragon.

==Backstory==
[[Overlord]] [[Mutare]], an ambitious [[Nighon]] Lady, wishes to take her rightful place among the ranks of powerful [[Nighon]] Lords.  In [[Nighon]], you don't inherit your lands - you take them from those too weak to hold them.  Only the strong are fit to rule, and the bones of the weak litter the tunnels of [[Nighon]].

==Heroes==
*[[Mutare]], overlord with Dragons specialty.
{{User commentary|
* This campaign is fully dedicated to [[Dungeon]], as both you and your enemies have solely Dungeon towns.
* In third and fourth scenarios, flag only [[Red Dragon and Black Dragon|Red Dragons]] dwellings and build [[Portal of Summoning|Portals of Summoning]], even prior to town 7 level dwellings. In the first two scenarios, flag dwellings of [[Minotaur and Minotaur King|Minotaurs]] or [[Manticore and Scorpicore|Manticores]].
* Build [[Mage Guild]]s in every your town. Visit [[Pyramid]] in the second scenario.
* Liberate [[Alamar]] in the third scenario. Thanks to [[Scholar]], he will get all 1-4 level spells learned by Mutare, and teach them your third hero who will also advance to the final.
* There are some skill increasing locations on the map, so you should find and visit them.
* One of three heroes may have [[Diplomacy]], as the final scenario features 7 level wandering monsters, who will join your army as you start with 6 Black Dragons or with neutral dragons who are enormously strong.
* In the final battle of the third scenario, first kill [[Rampart]] and Dungeon dragons who have magic immunity, as you can cast negative spells like [[Slow]] and [[Blind]] on neutral dragons.
* Defeat your enemy prior to fighting dragons in the third scenario. Watch out in the [[Tavern]] for powerful high-level heroes who formerly belonged to the enemy, as they can advance to the final scenario.
* Visit [[Marketplace]]s with secondary heroes, until you have five or more towns.
