Notes:
======

* This version was going to be released in 2 weeks but with recent abuses on morphling/necro,
i decided to just release it now. This doesn't have as much new content as i had planned,
however, 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. A desktop wallpaper version of it is
available at http://mercurialxen.deviantart.com

Changelog:
Due to an issue with the previous transfer, had to upload a 6.27b

Changelog:
Vast improvements to CustomKeys.txt compatability (see link when forums return)
Fixed a Deathmatch Allrandom issue with getting more heroes than opponents

Spirit bear pathing issues fixed

Notes:
-------
When the forums return, I'll attach a link with all the files and info needed to make use of this improved custom keys functionality.

6.30 Development will now begin. It will take longer than usual, but will be very heavily tested.

This is the latest stable version. All leagues should now change to this in a week or so.

Changelog:
Greater bash major bug fixed
Chronosphere bug fixed
Viper's corrosive skin now gives slight magic damage reduction

Hopefully the bug that causes many triggered abilities to fail sometimes is fixed in this version.
However, i still recommend all serious games use 6.19b until it is clear.

There won't be anymore major balance changes after this (at least not nerfs), just bug fixes if any come up, then work begins on a new major version (which will take longer but will he heavily tested) while this version set gets sent for use in leagues and various other tournaments and secret events we have planned.

Changelog:
Fixed a major bug that caused many abilities to have a chance to stop functioning.

Normally i'd wait for more fixes, but this bug had such a huge impact on many abilities that it would single handedly cause many games to be ruined.


If anyone finds anymore bugs, please report them.

Have fun

I recommend you guys use 6.19b for serious games, until the rest of the bugs in the 6.2x versions are fixed.

Changelog:
Fixed some bugs (some major) as well as some other issues (many abuseable, so won't disclose).

Sorry for the frequent releases, hopefully all the bugs will be done with in a version or two max.
After that, a version will be announced as the latest stable map for competitive use.
For now, all serious play should use the last stable version.

As far as future plans, after this version set has all its issues fixed, i'll work on a new sent and scourge tavern as well as a new recipe shop.
Probably something like 4-5 new heroes for each side to start off, then fill the rest as time goes.

Thanks for everyone that reports bugs, its a great way to contribute to the map.

Notes:
--------
Some of you will complain regarding some of these balance changes. Generally AoE and Long disables saw some form of a nerf. Most Heroes that were nerfed saw a buff somewhere else. For the most part this is power redistribution. You'll just have to trust me that they are for the best. After a tweak or two, it will result in a considerably more balanced and enjoyable game. You shouldn't expect many other large scale tweaks like this, so you can now start focusing on perfecting builds and matchup strats for the leagues that are starting soon. After a version or two, to iron out any issues that come up, I recommend leagues use -lm for competitive gaming.

From a survey i did, at least 75% liked the new terrain and 25% liked the older, from that 25%, at least 3/4 of them changed their minds a few games, so give it a few tries before judging it.

Thanks to Plastic.Angel for his help on the new terrain, Naz for the Map Picture (and PitzerMike helping us convert it), Zetta for many suggestions, Terrorblaze for the base Aphotic Shield concept,.
Extra thanks for the Beta testers for extra testing in this version.
