Version Alpha 6.13a:
Bugs:
- If you do not choose a game mode, you should still be able to load.
Version Alpha 6.13:
Terrain:
- Loosened up the bases of the Great War, possibly making things have less "clutter" on the way out and preventing the paladin from trapping mages behind a wall of heroes.
- The middle area with the fountain now only has entrances from the top and bottom.
Game Modes:
- When selected, the game mode being selected should automatically be detected and the game should start.
- Game mode -an now makes the game only have a few seconds before the war starts.
- Game mode -ct disabled again due to bugs.
Spells:
- Decreased Holy Nova's AoE from 655 to 575.
- Increased cooldown on Water Elementals from 12 to 18.
- Heal, Holy Bolt, and Restore now do half effect to NPC heroes.
- Armageddon now scales up in mana cost over levels (215 to 215/255/295).
Bugs:
- More commands should be disabled before the game starts, preventing crashes.
- Game mode -ct should now work properly (like... 20% sure that it's fixed. No guarantees).
- Fountain fixed to actually do half as much as 6.12a (sorry, forgot to change it in 6.12b).
- Sea Elemental Morph and Replenish abilities icon locations swapped to the correct locations.
- Abilities should have the correct requirements to use now.
- Dragon should teleport back if he tries to run, and start attacking you again.
Version Alpha 6.12b:

Game Modes:
- New game mode (-np) which allows the removal of potions.

Terrain:

Items:
- Removed Invisibility and Invulnerability potions from the shop in the Great War.
Bugs:
- Thunderstorm should now work properly on summons. It used to not be different, even when casted on summons.
- Ice Slide should now work independent of Freezing Orb.
- Carrion Swarm now checks to make sure that the target is not another locust. This will prevent crashes from colliding Carrion Swarms.
Version Alpha 6.11c:
Bugs:
- Freeze can now be used normally.
Version Alpha 6.11b:
Bugs:
- Hopefully killed the crashing bug. Try not to do something stupid before the game starts please...

- Upon reaching level 62, you may gain experience for a Skill Point upon reaching the next level. You get 1 skill point for every time you reach level 63.
- Added game modes. Type these out with a dash (-) before them to activate each one. Combinations are allowed (this is basically the DotA gamemode choice style...):
*an (All New); Turns off load and makes sure everyone starts a new character.
CURRENTLY DISABLED: *ct (Control Teams); Allows the control of who goes on what team in the Great War.
Note: -ct is disabled because it is quite glitchy and I am still trying to perfect the system. I will re-enable it when I fix all the bugs.
