A release of the fheroes2 0.9.14 project is available, attempting to recreate the Heroes of Might and Magic II game. The project code is written in C++ and distributed under the GPLv2 license. To run the game, game resource files are required, which can be obtained, for example, from the demo version of Heroes of Might and Magic II.
Major changes:
- For most languages, a "battle only" mode button is drawn.
- The code related to artifacts has been completely redesigned, which led to the elimination of numerous errors in the properties of artifacts and made it possible to easily add or change artifacts in the game in the future.
- Improved AI now prioritizes castle rebuilding based on the adventure map, and also uses the Dimension Door spell.
- Added base implementation of the fheroes2 app for macOS.
- Errors in the calculation of the growth of creatures and the cost of capitulation have been fixed, and the logic of moving creatures across the battlefield has been improved.
- The engine supports MP3 and FLAC music files.
- Over 50 bugs fixed.
