Here we have an interesting modification, or rather an extension of Heroes 2. It’s similar to VCMI, offering many improvements, especially in terms of the user interface (UI). The game was still a bit clunky when it came to hero movement, as can be seen in the video.
In any case, Free Heroes 2 has a lot of potential. When you download the game, it comes with a demo, so you can try it out without needing to own the original Heroes 2.

Free Heroes 2 – Enhanced Features:
- Buying buildings with one click?
- Upgrade units with one click if you have resources
- Last saved file is put on top of “Load” list (files are sorted by time, not name)
- An installer that will also download the Heroes 2 Demo or extra maps to not look for them how to copy (only on Windows now)
- Quick combat to avoid tedious battles. If the QuickCombat results are not perfect, you can replay the battle
- Performance improvements over Free Heroes 2. Especially when “end-turn”, in my testing is around 3-4 times quicker
- Many UI fixes
- Game balance fixes: going to a boat will not drain all movement points (but it will dran many). This matches more with Heroes 6-7 gameplay, but is nicer like this. The same is with digging for treasures
