Fheroes2 Launches Open-Source Heroes of Might and Magic 2 Engine 13 October

fheroes2 1.0.9 is now available, bringing a complete recreation of the engine for the game Heroes of Might and Magic II. The project, written in C++, is distributed under the GPLv2 license. To play the game, players will need to obtain the game resources from the original Heroes of Might and Magic II.

The main changes include:

  • Expanded window of “hot keys”.

  • The full settings window is now available on the map during gameplay.

  • The AI has been trained to use shield spells to protect against rifle attacks.
  • Improved search algorithms for AI on the adventure map and battlefield paths.
  • AI now takes into account the effects imposed on creatures when constructing battle tactics.

  • Simplification of AI algorithms for “easy” and “normal” modes.
  • A confirmation of actions during battles for Android devices has been implemented to prevent false presses.
