Dear Heroes of Might and Magic II fans.
We're pleased to announce a brand new
0.9.4 release!
Past release had a basic support of
The Succession Wars campaign which was good but not an ideal. In the past month we polished every aspect of the campaign, adding missing video scenes, fixing multiple discovered issues and even bugs encountered in the original game. But this is not everything, we added a
full support of
The Price of Loyalty campaigns! So now you could enjoy playing all 6 campaigns originally present in HoMM2.
The list of new features for this release includes an
extended display of
number of days in cursors, added
shadow for magic book and
showing double shadow for
2-hex monsters in the battle. You can easily plan your move without guessing where the creature will move at. Also if want to see how many creatures were in your army at the beginning of the battle or how powerful and useful your hero is you could open
Hero Screen right from the battle!
Additionally, we improve overall performance and now it's up to
30% faster than previous version. Also the game consumes much less resources which is a way to deploy the game on portable devices in the future.
At last but not at least, we added a fully optional
installer on Windows making the game installation easy and intuitive. Unix users receive an updated script for installation as well. Please note that from this version the game will store all save files in a separate place: for Windows it's user profile directory, for Unix it's XGD directory.
As usual our team fixed over
100 bugs, polishing AI, fixing many logical issues and UI defects.
We hope that you would like to play the updated game and stay tuned for more exciting news in the future!
