There's 3 new evaluation-contexts that are now taken into account: Whether an action is building, whether an action involves sailing and the newly introduced threat. The value-evaluation of creatures now also takes special resources into account. No longer treating other AIs differently than players when it comes to how afraid we shall be of them. The cost of buildings for decision-making now determines missing resources. Available resources are ignored when it comes to how they impact the cost. But missing-resources will heftily impact the assumed price by calculating their market-value. This shall encourage the AI to rather build what it currently can build instead of saving up for something that it lacking the special resources for. AI is no longer willing to sacrifice more than 25% of their army for any attack except when it has no towns left. Revamped the priority-tiers of AI decision-making. Higest priority is conquering enemy towns and killing enemy heroes. However, the AI will no longer try to do so when the target is more than one turn away and protected by a nearby enemy-hero that could kill the one tasked with dealing with the target. Except when they have no towns left. Then they get desperate and try everything. As a general rule of thumb one could say the AI will prioritize conquest over collecting freebies over investing army to get something that isn't a city. It's a bit more complex than that but this is roughly what can be expected. It will also highly value their own heroes safety during all this.

Latest release
Latest release can be found in Github Releases page. As of right now we plan to have major releases around 3 times per year. Daily builds are still available at builds.vcmi.download but they are not guaranteed to be stable. So we encourage everybody to use them and report found bugs so that we can fix them. Loading saves made with different major version of VCMI is usually not supported, so you may want to finish your ongoing games before updating. Please see corresponding installation guide articles for details for your platform.
