The Wizards lead a union of mystic troops with a noticeable emphasis on ranged combat, while the Necromancers command armies of undead, capable of constantly bolstering their ranks through the unique secondary skill of Necromancy. Heroes II introduces two factions to the series who would recur in every subsequent sequel - the Wizards and Necromancers, both potent spellcasters. Good and evil faction segregation is introduced, though the concept has little effect on gameplay it only determines the style of the interface. Elementals are also introduced to the Heroes series as recruitable neutrals. The spell system is revamped with a spell point counter replacing the memorisation model of the original: the Knowledge primary skill now determines a hero's maximum spell point pool, with one point of Knowledge equating to ten spell points. This system was taken further in Heroes III, in which every non-neutral unit receives an upgraded incarnation. The game introduces upgrades to the series - with the necessary structures built or adventure map locations visited, certain units can be upgraded, entailing attribute boosts and new abilities. The combat battlefield is enlarged and creature sizes reduced. Individual heroes can obtain a maximum of eight secondary skills. Hero development is enhanced with secondary skills, replacing the inherent class bonuses of the prequel fourteen skills are available, with three tiers of expertise which can be achieved upon level-up: Basic, Advanced and Expert. FHeroes2’s configuration file is found in ‘ux0:app/FHOMM0002/’ and you can edit values from there (including the resolution).While closely similar in design to the first game, Heroes II overhauls some gameplay elements.
You can control the pointer with the left analogue stick (so it works on the PSTV too) but you can also use the touchscreen (preferably with a stylus) to control the game. Right now, the official campaigns don’t work but you can play through the original and custom scenarios just fine. The Vita port is based on FHeroes2 which is a free implementation of the game’s (HOMMII) engine. That is whether to follow the ‘evil’ path of Archibald to destroy Roland’s resistance or to follow the ‘good’ path of Roland to make him king. The player has to choose which campaign to play. Eventually, Archibald manages to exile Roland by orchestrating some events against the latter. The game takes place after Lord Morglin Ironfist’s death and this leads to his two sons, Archibald and Roland,fighting for the crown. You may increase the resolution by editing the mentioned config file. As you can see, the game is rendered in a box that consists only of a portion of the screen.
