Version History[edit]

Version 1.6[1][edit]

  • Added critters (1 at the tavern, 1 between each starting green and orange camp, 1 near each shop, 1 between each two neighboring starting locations).
  • Removed runes of the watcher and runes of healing.
  • Removed the possibility to AOW-creep the bottom-left orange camp.
  • Removed the possibility to build AOWs around the right red camp.
  • No longer possible to abuse pathing to creep red camps with just a hero and a mechanical critter.
  • Rebalanced starting locations (fairer tree distribution, more space to build structures inside).
  • Cleared forests across the map to reduce the amount of chokepoints.
