	tl;dr: fheroes2 is an open-source, multiplatform reimplementation of the Heroes of Might and Magic II engine, written from scratch and licensed under GPLv2. It adds high-resolution graphics support, improved AI, UI enhancements, and various bug fixes while still requiring original game assets (purchasable from GOG/Ubisoft, or available via the free demo).
	HN Discussion: ↑Nostalgic appreciation and gratitude for the HoMM2 recreation project ↑Interest in the technical AI improvements over the original implementation •Sharing related projects and recreations like VCMI for HoMM3 ↑Observing that added features effectively backport Heroes 3 functionality ~Skepticism that old game mechanics still hold up as entertainment for adults
