Hmmm... Serious? I didn't play them much but I heard that they are the hardest, even more difficult than AB ones. As far as I remember, I have had big troubles beating the Yog campaign even on 80% (yes I was a n00b then and I'm still a n00b in this game). I think RoE is the easiest, only a few tricky moments, like that Kendell (solved easily 8)) and beating the demons down in the 4th campaign (also not too difficult). The last campaign is very interesting, btw

To KingofMinotaurs
SoD only adds several new artifacts, additional ground covers (like magic ground... i.e. 'carpets', hehe), and of course new campaigns and maps. And a few new hero portraits which are used in the campaigns.

First of all, the stats of some units have been changed (angels and archangels cost now gems too, lizardwarrior-stats have been upgraded and there were some more changes i don´t remind in the moment....)

AFAIK, all these changes are reflected in the 1.4 patch for RoE. At least when I played RoE 1.4, Archangels did cost gems also. So this is not too much of SoD's feature - 1.4 is the most popular RoE version today.

And, WoG requires SoD.

AB campaings are good. But I'd advise SoD ones.

Second, there are some new grounds, like odvin mentioned. There are 4 differnet new grounds (earth,air,water,fire) which allow you to cast any spell of THAT magic type on EXPERT level (the magic plains in RoE allows to cast ALL spells of ALL magic types on expert level). Then there is a light green ground, which raises the luck of your hero. At last, there are clouds on the sea, which raise the movement points of your ship.

Third, and most impresiv imho, there are new artifacts, so called "combined artifacts). This means, if your hero carrys all artifacts, that will be needed to make that superartifact, he will gain more bonuses than the particular artifacts will give.
For example:

"cloak of the undead king"
For this superartifact, you´ll need the 3 necro-artifacts, that raise your necromancy-skill (the boots, the vampire-cloak and the amulet) If you wear them all, you can make the superartifact. The bonus will be great. If you have expert necromancy, now there will raise LICHS instead of skeletons from the dead units after battle!!

"wizard´s well"
For this, you´ll need the 3 artifacts, which help you to regain manapoints per day (charm of mana, orb of mana, forget about the name of the third...). If you have them all in miscellanous and made the superartifact, your spellpoints will be on maximum on EVERY new turn!!

...and there are some more of these artifacts....
So Shadow of death is a MUST in my eyes....
