Heroes of Might and Magic II game engine fheroes2 v1.1.1 released

Dear players of Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and fheroes2 project supporters. The team is excited to present the new version of the fheroes2 engine - 1.1.1 for Heroes of Might and Magic II after more than a month of hard work.
This release was mainly focused on polishing the Editor, but not only.

The Editor got support for Rumors, Daily Events and special Victory and Loss conditions. These were missing features that are present in the original game. However, as promised we added them as quickly as possible after the new Editor was launched. The team used different design of dialogs in comparison to the original Editor to make it more user-friendly.

Besides fixing several issues in the Editor and adding missing parts we also made multiple improvements. First of all, the team redesigned the hero selection window in the Editor. No more scrolling through similar icons.

Secondly, we started adding new content to the game. As a start, the team added a missing part of the Sphinx and a new variation of the adventure map Cave object.

A brand new feature now available in the Editor is the ability to restrict the construction of any building in towns and castles. This gives a lot of flexibility for map makers to design maps with unique gameplay conditions.

The AI was updated as well. We reworked all bonuses the AI had in the past and reduced them significantly to have a fair play for AI. This aligns with our goals: we want difficulty level affect only AI behaviour without giving it any perks.
Additionally, we fixed few places in AI logic.

As usual, the team updated multiple translations, improved various UI elements and closed over 40 issues since the previous release.

Thank you so much for your invaluable support, and we hope you will enjoy this release!
