Fheroes 2 update v1.1.12 with Random Map Generator and basic iOS support

Author: Liso1 November 12, 2025 0 Comments

The fheroes2 team has announced the release of version 1.1.12 of the game engine, marking one of the most significant updates. One of the major additions in this release is the initial implementation of the Random Map Generator within the Editor. Although still labeled as a work in progress, this feature lays the groundwork for future development. Many aspects remain unfinished, but the team plans to refine and expand it in upcoming versions.

Another key highlight is the introduction of basic iOS support. While this functionality is not yet fully stable, it represents an important milestone for the project. The developers intend to continue improving it and will share updates as development progresses.

The release also brings numerous user interface enhancements. The icons for the Mass Dispel spell and the Resolution option have been updated, new buttons were added to the File Options dialog, and the Turn Order bar has been moved above the battlefield on higher resolutions.

Support for playing multiple videos has been restored, allowing missing campaign animations to be viewed once again. Players can now switch between towns in the Mage Guild using arrows, delete maps from lists, and enjoy an expanded text limit for resurrection maps—among many other adjustments.

Significant AI improvements have also been made. AI heroes can now anticipate the start of a new week for weekly objects like Creature Dwellings, Windmills, and Magic Gardens, resulting in smarter task management on the Adventure Map. Their pre-battle unit arrangements have also been optimized to increase combat effectiveness. In addition, new hero hiring conditions have been introduced to make the late game more engaging.
