Editing Heroes Chronicles

'''Heroes Chronicles''' is a series of five stand-alone games and two free expansions, offering eight new single-player campaigns. They are based on the [[Armageddon's Blade]]/[[Shadow of Death]] engine, and therefore feature all the various features added by these expansions, including the [[Conflux]] town, [[magical terrain]]s, and [[combination artifact]]s; however, they only offer the ability to play the campaign, a tutorial map, and "preview" maps taken from the other campaigns in the series. Multiplayer, map editor, and random map generator are all absent.

==Story==
The Chronicles follow the story of [[Tarnum]], a [[Barbarian]] warlord who becomes successively a [[knight]], a [[wizard]], a [[ranger]], a [[beastmaster]], and an [[overlord]] in various quests given to him so he might redeem himself.
