Written from scratch much like OpenMW for Morrowind, OpenRA for classic Westwood RTS games, openXcom for for the X-COM and more it's another great example of a community of people reviving old games for modern platforms.

Here's what's new in 0.9.7:

  • Add basic German translation support and heavy update French and Polish translations
  • Add missing Farm image part in Knight castle and modify Captain Quarters in Necromancer town
  • Add AI hero classes for more efficient task distribution
  • Fix multiple issues with combat logic for pathfinding and AI
  • Fix object passabilities and incorrect rendering on World Map
  • Over 60 bugs fixed since 0.9.6 release

Check it out on GitHub and remember to grab the data from GOG.com which it requires to run.
