fheroes2 project v0.9.4 update with The Price of Loyalty campaigns support

Past release had a basic support of The Succession Wars campaign which was good but not an ideal. In the past month fheroes2 team 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, they added a full support of The Price of Loyalty campaigns! So now you could enjoy playing all 6 campaigns originally present in HoMM2.

Heroes 2 Gold GOG version (works only with this version)

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!

At last but not at least, team 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 team fixed over 100 bugs, polishing AI, fixing many logical issues and UI defects.

    Damn Price of Loyalty 2nd scenario is HARD, AI is just impossible to beat in the fHeroes2 mod (Lots of Minotaurs on day 1!!! )! Anyone else?

      Yeeep, me too. I thought I’ve had a perfect run, building right on time my army up to phoenixes and finding the warlock’s castle (yellow) on the beginning of the 3rd week. I’ve even managed to capture the main castle on the continent and block yellow’s main army on the island by putting another hero in the teleporter’s door – with some luck.
      And when I thought that is the moment I’ll have a chance by building a black dragon’s army (managed to gather around 10 dragons) one of the red’s Barbarian heroes came to my castle (warlocks castle) and wiped the floor with my dragons.
