Previous release 0.97 was not very satisfactory, it has a number of issues with AI as well as crashbugs. Luckily now all these problems are solved and you can play new VCMI 0.98 with no problems.
Finally all the spells in game are supported. New additions include missing adventure spells and Earthquake.
An important new feature is World View option. You will also notice nice fading effect on picked treasures and adventure map transitions.
Pathfinder and AI are allowed to use Monoliths to teleport between different parts of map. This should substantailly improve your game experience.
RMG got significant improvements to balance and look. Most prominent feature is presence of rock tunnels in the underground level.
Savegame format has changed since 0.97, but you still will be able to load games from 0.97c.
We recommend you first make a copy of clean Heroes Complete / Shadow of Death folder. Extract VCMI zip package there.
WoG is not needed. All recommended mods and files can be downloaded via Launcher included in the package.
Changelog:
Many thanks to all developers who contributed to this build, especially new joiner ArseniyShestakov aka. SXX.
I just played some Campaign and then suddenly it crashed. Long Live the Queen. First quest. Day 4, Week 2. One hero was on the sea, and one was just about to take a gem mine. Hmm. Strange
I am following development of the project with much interest. Glad to see most of the original functionality is there. Can’t wait to see what you add after 1.0. What I’d personally like to see is RMG making better sea-maps with larger islands (the original ones always sucked), more than 8 players and option to use the original H3 icons (I can’t stand the old ones, they just don’t fit here). That, WoG and HotA… Could be really fun
PS. In the wiki you have the following passage: “although it doesn’t follow its initiative mechanism”
Don’t you guys mean “initial”?
I can’t, because game crush on 0.97 version.
I wait new version that fix it.
But i must play again from the beginning
And i can’t check bug in new version.
I cannot find vcmi .98 on android, Google play store only has .97 When will .98 be out on the Google play store? Or is there a way I can operate the .98 software on my galaxys5?
First of all many thanks to the Dev Team well done!
What i would like to know is when you plan to implement Commander Artifacts, or rather when can we actually use them, because right now they disappear when i drag them unto the commander icon, which is sad as it renders the commander completely useless.
And another thing, my game crash’es every now and then. is there any reason to that? it simply closes down no warning or anything.
