I read somewhere on wiki a list of implemented things but maybe someone can clear it out for me. What can I play now with VCMI (latest build)? (H3 SOD stuff only). Can I try a map? Are there maps that work 100%?
(I have tried The Imp and it crashes 1’st day when I receive Dragon Tooth necklace from a Hut. Is it a bug or VCMI is not that far?)
I hope I can give you guys a rest after this :).
That looks like a bug.
I think that it will be easier to report any missing features apart from obvious ones (RMG, campaigns, multiplayer). We have some missing spells (disguise, earthquake, view earth\air) but that’s mostly all. Everything else will be better to report - sometimes finding unimplemented features is more difficult than actual implementation 
Game should never crash, whether things are implemented or not.
But it does. Try clicking on the ‘custom’ button from the campaign selection button on the ppa build right now for instance.
I think even one of the buttons on the strategic layer crashed there too.
Heck, i just crashed with a heisenbug from starting the vanilla campaign. I repeated it too. It apparently requires very fast clicking.
The output is less than helpful.

pure virtual methods in constructors? Surely not. Even in java that is a faux-pas
Campaigns are half-implemented. Don’t try to play them yet.
