VCMI

What is VCMI?

VCMI is an open-source project aiming to recreate and extend the engine for the classic fantasy strategy game Heroes of Might and Magic III. The project's goal is to rewrite the entire Heroes III: Wake of Gods engine from the ground up, providing new and expanded capabilities beyond the original game. VCMI allows for the use of maps of any size, higher resolutions, and extended engine limits, empowering fans to explore and create in ways previously constrained by the original codebase While VCMI is not a standalone program and requires the installation of the Heroes III: Wake of Gods data files, it is not intended to be another mod or alter the original mechanics. Rather, the project serves as a foundation for future fan-made endeavors, enabling the development of new content and expanded functionality that was not previously possible within the confines of the original game engine
