| PackageDescription | Rewrite of the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 game engine
The purpose of VCMI project is to create a free implementation of the "Heroes
of Might and Magic 3: In the Wake of Gods" engine to overcome limitations
of the original engine for better modding support, higher resolutions,
bigger map sizes and extended engine limits.
.
VCMI is a turn-based strategy game where the player controls a number of
heroes commanding an army of creatures. The player explores the game map
with their heroes, conquers enemy towns and improves their own.
.
VCMI stands for Vinyar Callor Meletya Ingole which means "New Heroes of Might
and Magic" in Quenya.
.
