[Missing features at
Trello](https://trello.com/b/68e5rAAl/vcmi-missing-features-only)

### Most important bugfixes

-   daily build contains broken vcmi essential package (ticket is for
    linux but same problem on Windows also)
    <https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2986> - questionable
-   desync in multiplayer cross-platform
    <https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2583>

### Establish release process

In January 2021 there was a proposition on Slack to make 3 branches:
develop, beta and stable. develop is where people make their changes
when they are ready, people can test it but its not for normal players
beta could be for players who agree to be testers. stable could be for
players who want stable version. Hovewer there were no decision made

### HD mod/quality of life

contact MikeLodz if you have questions about this section

These are necessary, as although they werent present back in 1999, they
are standard today.

-   quick transfer of artifacts and armies between heroes, started here
    <https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/pull/636>
-   adventure map: movements points preview and cost
-   move artifacts between visiting town and garrison heroes
-   hero list preview on the "start map" screen.

etc see here for full list of enhancements:
<https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/eng/description/extended-ui>

-   some walking creatures need to move faster during battles, as its a
    complete waste of time (we need a so called "turbo" mode)

<!-- -->

-   this one not sure if its a bug or missing hd mod feature: it should
    be possible to preview hero screen when choosing a skill on levelup.

### Hota rebalances?

contact MikeLodz about this section

-   what is our stance on Hota rebalances ? we should discuss them at
    least and decide which to adopt, and which to ignore \*

### Random map generator

Dydzio said about it on Slack:

`finish `[`https://github.com/dydzio0614/vcmi/tree/rmgtemplates`](https://github.com/dydzio0614/vcmi/tree/rmgtemplates)` (random map generator template pick,`

better selection lists for random map generator template - two versions
(two bitmaps provided) also one more thing - for random map template
pick my vision was to create more generic select list component and make
town portal select component derive from it
