It does not emulate Hardware but you could say it emulates direct3d for opengl.

The .deb on the steam website will refuse to install on a 64 Bit system and they do not offer alternative downloads on their webpage.

VCMI 0.91 brings significant improvements to modding. Finally, after years of development and endless trials, adding new towns to the game is possible. Moreover, it's all quite easy and convenient! It includes already existing support for new creatures, but now also hero classes, heroes themselves and external dwellings. Just check Cove package that adds new factions known from Horn of The Abyss mod.

However, creation of new town may still be somewhat time consuming. For those modders who would like to enjoy new content immediatelly, there is another feature - new artifacts. Adding a large amount of available aryifacts to the game is quick and enjoyable. See Witchking Artifacts Pack for example of endless possibilities it gives. People interested in modding may find our Wiki articles helpful.

Other new features include improved adventure AI, first revealed version of Random Map Generator (though not really playable yet) and loading screen. All these things make VCMI closer to complete Shadow of Death game.

Just like the the review Indie Statick, this one does not give a score, just an opinion. However just like Indie Statik, the review is just brilliant :)
