Armageddon is a 4 level spell in the School of fire magic. It damages all creatures on the battlefield, including the caster's own troops. Creature specialities still applies, which means that for example black dragons or efreet sultans do not suffer any damage.

Damages all troops at once with a fixed amount of damage and can be used a first spell that has its casting phase before units - so if the spell power is of sufficient level and there are no immunes in the enemies stacks the enemy hero is easily vanquished and possible artifacts are transferred - better than shackles of war. Chaos cities have black dragons and Inferno Cities have efreet sultans, Conflux Cities have Firebirds all of which apart from fire immunity also have a good movement rate and less movement penalties on the travel map compared to an all level city group, making them feasible for the use of this spell and no other units (which is called the Dragogeddon tactic).

Units immune to its effects:
