fheroes2 adds maps and adjusts enemy AI for Heroes of Might and Magic II

Version 1.1.18 of fheroes2 changes enemy AI in battles and on the adventure map, making it less demanding on lower difficulties. The update also adds maps and revises existing ones in the bundle.

Players can enable a health bar for monsters in battle, and the virtual keyboard now supports editing text across multiple lines. The project says more than 60 issues have been closed since the previous release.

The open-source project recreates the engine for Heroes of Might and Magic II. Playing the full game requires its original data files. The Windows installer can extract them from a purchased, installed copy, or download the free English-language demo and extract its files. The project’s installation guide covers other platforms.
