Let's hope for some crash bugfixes
specially when using autocombat, by far the largest culprit as creature selection didn't update

Something really cool from VCMI Discord - there is something like settings.json in ..\VCMI\config\schemas and to speed up some animations, scroll of the map etc.: line 123 "adventure" : {
Quote:
"properties" : {
"heroSpeed" : {
"type" : "number",
"default" : 20
},
"enemySpeed" : {
"type" : "number",
"default" : 4
},
"scrollSpeed" : {
"type" : "number",
"default" : 4
},
line 219 "battle" : {
Quote:
"animationSpeed" : {
"type" : "number",
"default" : 5
},
"mouseShadow" : {
"type":"boolean",
"default" : true
},

I would say VCMI needs a clearer just download. The manual to install can come with the download. Or in another link below the simple download button.
It is not very acceptable that the official vcmi page makes the download button lead you to a wiki which in turn wothin a lengthy explanation leads you to vcmi github page which only presents download links after hundreds of lines of text (and even then these aren't clear for a non experienced user)
the VCMI download button should just download the latest stable release corresponding file... it's not like those have to be changed very often

better experience from technical point of view has high priority for us ATM - at least some of improvements will be there in version 1.2 - including translations support, launcher welcome page, swapping to another building toolset for better performance of releases, android version rework

Yes that is good. However something is the inside VCMI experience and another the user experience to download and install.
I bet a lot more people would use VCMI if downloading wasn't so obscure. I made over 10 released mods for a variety of games and it got tiring to look for the 1.1 actual link even for me...
Example download page:
VCMI download is actually pretty close,
except for the fact that the link is a total letdown (it doesn't even make sense that it says "windows" download, etc. if all will just lead into the same github changelog where there is no platform difference). Just direct the link to an actual in-window file download... instructions can be in a separate link below the dl

Yeah, we're aware of that.
Github downloads page will be cleaned up soon to hide that huge changelog.
We're also planning to have installation instructions inside Launcher for 1.2, so it will be possible to provide download links directly.

Maybe otherwise would be 12000 ;P
Still, the point remains one doesn't know how many downloads are "missing"

Message from devs:
"VCMI 1.1 was released to Google play store. So only Android 7+ is supported. Daily builds support 4.4 but I am doubtful it will work."
Android version can be downloaded here.
This app requires original heroes 3 sod / complete files to operate, they are not supplied with this installer. it is recommended to purchase version from gog.com. Heroes 3 "hd edition" (steam version) files are not supported !!!
How to install game is described here.

We're still updating our documentation for 1.2, so some things may be outdated at the moment.
Map objects are described here:
https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/wiki/Modding-~-Objects-~-Rewardable
Secondary skills use our bonus system, described in our wiki, e.g. here:
