Fheroes2 1.1.16: New Open Source Engine for HoMM 2

The latest release of the project fheroes2 1.1.16 is now available. This project aims to recreate the Heroes of Might and Magic II game engine from scratch using C++. The project is released under the GPLv2 license. To play the game, users will need game resource files from the original Heroes of Might and Magic II game. The project also includes a script that can automatically load and extract resources from the demo version of the game.

Some of the basic changes in this release include:

  • Laying roads and rivers now supports left-click brush painting.

  • Added the ability to move and copy objects on the map with the mouse.

  • Users can now choose which artifacts the hero can get during excavations for the “Great Artifact” object.

  • Non-interactive objects can now be placed partially outside the map boundaries.
