Author: Liso1 September 12, 2023 1 Comment

The past month the Fheroes2 team has done a lot of things and we are pleased to share details about our work. The most noticeable change every player will notice, is the enhanced look of the Save/Load file window. This window was expanded to support much longer filenames and not to be so compressed in size.

The AI in this release became smarter during battles and will kite their shooters if necessary instead of waiting to get hit. On the other hand, on lower difficulties the AI’s use of dimension door has been given restrictions, making these modes easier.

The team spent a lot of time improving multiple aspects of the UI, including expanding existing translations, adding missing letters in fonts, and making more elements translatable. One of the examples of this work is translated vertical buttons.

The work on the Editor continues. In this release, we completed terrain connections logic to make smooth transitions between terrain types. An interesting fact is that the team is working on the translation part for the Editor in parallel.

Besides these major changes, this release contains a lot of small changes to polish the game engine and make the game play even better. Adding High Score for multiplayer game, fixing rendering issues in the Kingdom Overview dialog, speeding up file loading and many more such things are included in this release. All major translations have been updated bringing most of them to 100% coverage. More than 50 bugs were fixed for this release.

Larger window is adjusted according to screen size and number of files.

Editor allows to place terrains and connect them properly.

Vertical buttons are translatable now.
