Hello,
we’re happy to release VCMI 0.82. The progress is good. We have reached a major milestone - this is first release with support for all OH3 adventure map objects (and we’re close to having all town structures). This build also implements most of hero specialities.
We have done a number of bugfixes - about 60 issues have been resolved. Please check the changelog below and bugtracker for the list.
Check items implementation status for the full information about which map objects, town structures, skills, spells, artifacts, creature abilities and victory conditions are supported.

Installation:
Extract the package into your main Heroes folder.
WoG 3.58f is required. We recommend using English version, .
If your game is in another language, you can extract this package into Data/ subfolder - that will make your H3 installation English.
If you have older version of VCMI, you have to overwrite it.
Save format has been changed, savegames from previous versions won’t work with 0.82.
VCMI supports 800x600, 1024x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1366x768 and 1680x1080 screen resolutions. To use custom resolution, type (before starting the actual game!) in the console “resolution” and pick appropriate one. Alternatively, you can change default resolution by the editing config/settings.txt file.
