Why are game files needed?

fheroes2 is an open-source game engine. Original Heroes II graphics, sounds and maps have a separate copyright and are not included in that engine. Leaf Arcade provides the engine; the demo or your own installation provides the game resources. Read the project's copyright information.

Where do my files and saves go?

Import reads files on your device; they are never uploaded to Leaf Arcade. With browser storage available, imported files and saves stay in this browser, so you only need to import once. Use the game's Save menu before stopping. Clearing this site's browser data removes resources and saves. If storage is blocked, you can play for the current session. Save-file export and account sync are not available in this experimental edition.
