Author: Liso1 January 3, 2025 0 Comments

Fheroes2 team is excited to announce the release of the latest version of the fheroes2 engine – 1.1.5! This update introduces a variety of exciting changes and new content. Let’s dive into the details!

First of all, the team has added the ability to edit multiple Adventure Map action objects in the Editor. This includes editing spells in Shrines and Pyramids, configuring resource amounts, and selecting which spells appear in the Witch’s Hut. These improvements give map makers much greater control, enabling them to create unique maps tailored to their vision.

Secondly, Fheroes2 team have introduced new variants of the Stone Liths and Observation Towers. Adding more variety to these objects allows map makers to craft maps with distinctive landscapes and reduces repetitive object usage, enhancing overall creativity.

Besides the Editor changes – which also include several bug fixes – the team has improved the AI’s castle reinforcement logic, added extra in-game information for touch devices, expanded translation support, and refined UI elements across various windows. In total, over 30 issues since the last release.
