AI-heroes are reduce their confidence for attacks based on how many of the units they currently have stacks from exist somewhere else in their empire. So for example if an AI has 2 black-drakes while 3 more are waiting in their castle, they act as if their army was only 2/5th as strong as it is. This should make them more likely to first reinforce their army before attacking. Changed the formula of scoring dwelling-upgrades in a way that doesn't overvalue upgrading vs. producing new units so much. AI will no longer be so overconfident when fighting enemy heroes near their own castle. This lead to a lot of horrible trades, especially between different AI which made FFAs way easier in the long run. AI should be better at preventing their enemies finding their towns undefended due to considering enemies that are not immediately in their castle's range too. If only gold is missing but no special-resources the AI will no longer devalue what building it wants to build next and build something cheaper instead. This should lead to AI quicker reaching their tier 7 units and skipping some unnecessary lower tiers on the way to it.

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.
