Netherstrike cooldown from 40 to 75 and casting range from 700/800/900 to 400/550/700 (he may need another nerf, but i want to take it one step at a time with him as he is easily made useless) * Mana cost increase for level 2 and 3 of Guardian Angel (125/150/200 to 125/175/250) * Sange and Yasha recipe from 900 to 1000 * Aphotic Shield range improved * Aegis removed from -dm * Fixed the LM mode to spawn the neutral creeps at the same time offset as the other modes * Abaddon starting agility from 13 to 17 * Fixed wrong player number display on circle of power * Neutral Ancients can no longer attack towers (abuse precaution) * Cleaner game end dialog and somewhat smoother exit * Fixed a bug with DMAR that allowed repicking and screwing up the hero count. * Dagon upgrades give an extra 2 int per level * Pugna`s Scepter Life Drain improved * Weaver starting str from 14 to 15 * Lina move speed from 280 to 290 * Lycan Wolf Form has proper melee attack, not missile based * Scythe changes unit to a sheep instead of a chicken, like it says.

This doesn`t have as much new content as i had planned, be that as it may, you can expect new content to flow in at a steady rate. * Lord of Avernus will be looked into in the next few versions to make him less boring. Morphling adapt will probably get reworked in the near future as well. * Thanks to the beta testers for their help; switch and minotaar for icons; Terrorblaze for hero descriptions. Special thanks to mercurial for the new 100% hand drawn loading screen art. He worked on it for over a month. We almost couldn`t use it, we spent all of thursday evening trying to properly compress it due to blizzard format issues.
