Hello,
we are proudly releasing VCMI 0.91. This build brings significant improvements to modding. Finally, after years of development and endless trials, adding new towns to the game is possible. Moreover, it's all quite easy and convenient! It includes already existing support for new creatures, but now also hero classes, heroes themselves and external dwellings. Just check Cove package that adds new factions known from Horn of The Abyss mod.
However, creation of new town may still be somewhat time consuming. For those modders who would like to enjoy new content immediatelly, there is another feature - new artifacts. Adding a large amount of available aryifacts to the game is quick and enjoyable. See Witchking Artifacts Pack for example of endless possibilities it gives. People interested in modding may find our Wiki articles helpful.
Other new features include improved adventure AI, first revealed version of Random Map Generator (though not really playable yet) and loading screen. All these things make VCMI closer to complete Shadow of Death game.
For the bugreports that we resolved in this release, please check the bugtracker changelog.
Check items implementation status for the full information about which map objects, town structures, skills, spells, artifacts, creature abilities and victory conditions are supported.

能有那么多新宝物？？？看图难道连HOTA夜整合进去了？ 确切地说，是非常方便添加新种族。港口城只是添加的一个例子。 看起来很不错哦.
我们是不是也该研究研究 VCMI 呢.

VCMI 0.92 released!Author: Tow @ 2013-03-01, 23:30
Hello,
we are proudly releasing VCMI 0.92. This is basically a bugfix release, aimed to correct most annoying regressions that appeared in 0.91. Still, we managed to fit a few small features and improvements. Campaigns finally present video introductions and move heroes between missions. Configuration files support more string identifiers, making them more readable. Some configuration possibilities, especially for spells, were extended.
Modding system in VCMI is already quite powerful. Just check Cove package that adds new faction from Horn of The Abyss add-on or Witchking Artifacts Pack. For the full list of available mods, installation instructions and guidelines on how to create them, please visit our wiki article.

Hello,
we are proudly releasing VCMI 0.94. It features a brand new part of our project — a dedicated Launcher, capable of mod management. It is finally possible to download, enable and disable mods without manual file jugglery or resorting to editing configuration files. Additionally, the Launcher provides a capability to customize some options that were unavailable in the GUI.
大家好，很高兴为大家分布VCMI0.94版，本版重点是新加了一个精致的启动器， 便于管理MOD。现在可以方便地下载、启用和禁用MOD，无需手动修改配置文件。启动器还可以定制一些操作界面上本来没有的选项。

The instructions on how to update mods for VCMI 0.94 and leverage the new possibilities are available on the wiki page.
同时对引擎进行了大量的改进，MOD可以Zip形式存在，AI得到提升，加入了快速战斗。
And finally, we did our best to fix the numerous bugs that were found in 0.93 release, especially in battles and AI stability. The job is not done, yet we believe the progress is really noticeable. Almost 90 bugreports have been resolved, please check the bugtracker changelog.
