  • RNG was improved, maps obstacles are now better ranodmized and more natural
  • Fixed a number of issues which made AI wander aimlessly

Enjoy!

not wanting to be a nitpicker, but it surprised me that the name of the topic is “0.98d”…isn’t it a bit too early for that?

Thanks for notice.

Is it correct to apply new version (0.98b) by just simply copying new files over the older version (0.98) or is it better to start from fresh Heroes 3 folder?

As far as I know, no files were added or removed, so it should work to simply overwrite old install.
