WARCRAFT III: THE FROZEN THRONE VERSION HISTORY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PATCH 1.13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES
- Acts II & III, the conclusion acts to the bonus Orc campaign contained in
The Frozen Throne, are included in this patch. To play these levels, you
can simply click the "Chapter Two - Old Hatreds" link from the Bonus Campaign
screen. If you have completed Act I, your Heroes will carry over to Act II.
Otherwise, your Heroes will be default-level Heroes with basic starting items.
- Warcraft III now supports binding an email address to your Battle.net account,
so that you can recover your password at a later stage, similar to the
functionality that was added to D2.
- Race selection on the scheduled game dialog (tournament finals) is now saved
for future scheduled games.
MAPS
Expansion - Frozen Throne
- (2)Tirisfal Glades - Red creep camp a bit easier; lowered the level of item
drop from 7 to 5.
- (2)Glacial Thaw - Switched the start locations to face the center of the
map. Lowered the level of a few creep camps; lowered the level of a few
item drops.
- (4)Paradise Island - Creeps are less likely to aggro passing units.
- (4)Twisted Meadows - Added ground-based anti-air creep to the island. Added
some trees behind the 3 o'clock start location to prevent building NE town
hall behind the gold mine. Changed a level-4 drop from charged item to
permanent item.
- (4)Bridge Too Near - Switched start locs with the expansion gold mines.
- (4)Devil's Cauldron - Lowered the total level of 4 creep camps.
- (4)Turtle Rock - The two large turtles that are placed between player bases
each drop a better item. Removed Rune of Lesser Healing from the expansion
creep.
- (4)Floodplains 1v1 - Removed the easy creep camp outside of player's base
and moved it to the other easy creep camps further from the player's base.
- (4)Lost Temple - Adjusted creep camps and item drops.
- (4)Avalanche - Weakened the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock expansion creeps. Added
a green-sized camp in place of the orange camp.
- (6)Bloodstone Mesa - Moved expansion creep back. Removed Marketplace and
added Tavern.
- (6)Rice Fields - Changed all the randomly generated creep camps; they are a
bit easier for the user now.
- (6)Wellspring - Added more trees to the starting location and moved the
lumber a bit closer to the town hall. Removed the east and west gate from
the center and created a bit more room around the Taverns.
- (6)Stranglethorn Vale - Expansion creeps are a bit easier now.
- (6)Timbermaw Hold - Moved the bottom Dragon Roost creep closer together to
eliminate two creep icons. Moved bottom middle start location deeper into
forest to prevent the easy (green) creep camp from being nuked from start
location placement. Same change to the bottom left position. Added a tree to
the hole in the forest at the top left position to prevent units from
getting stuck when portaling home.
- (8)Friends - Changed drop item classification from 'any' level-6 items to
'charged' level-6 items.
- (8)Feralas - Removed some creep camps to help the flow of the game.

lumber. Added ground-based anti-air to the center of the map.

- (8)Deathknell - Removed the center creep camp and neutral building.
- (8)Plains of Snow - Moved Teal's easy creep camp farther away to prevent
them from being nuked at the start of the game.
- (8)Garden of War - Moved Yellow's easy creep camp to prevent them from being
nuked at the start of the game.
- (8)Battleground - Moved 12 o'clock easy creep camp further away from start
location to prevent them from being nuked at the start of the game.
Classic - Reign of Chaos
- (2)Plunder Isle - Added some ground-based anti-air units to the Dragon camps;
also added some trees to the top start location.
- (4)Lost Temple - Adjusted item drop in center area. Expansion gold mines
should be a bit tougher. Each player's expansion gold mine now has one melee
creep. The Goblin Merchant camp is now tougher and has anti-air.
BALANCE CHANGES
Human
- Storm Bolt stun is now 5 seconds vs. units and 3 seconds vs. Heroes at all
levels. Previously, it had this level of stun at level 1, but went up 2
seconds vs. units and one second vs. Heroes each level. Additionally,
level-2 and level-3 damage are now 225 and 350, respectively.
- Militia can now only be created from a player's starting Town Hall, but they
can still be created from any of the player's Keeps or Castles.
- Blizzard is now damage capped. This damage cap is invoked when Blizzard hits
more than 5 targets per wave.
- Scout Tower hp reduced to 300 from 500, and armor reduced to 0 from 5.
- Human towers now gain 2 armor per masonry upgrade, up from 1.
- Banish has been reworked. Previously durations were 12(5) / 24(7) / 36(9)
by level, and mana costs were 75/50/25 by level. Instead, its mana cost is
now constant at 75 mana; its cooldown decreases with level (5 / 3 / 1); and
its durations only slightly improve with level (12(4) / 15(5) / 18(6)).
- Siphon Mana maximum range reduced to 800 from 850.
- Flying Machine hit points increased to 200 from 175.
- Holy Light mana cost reduced to 65 from 75.
Undead
- Web upgrade cost increased to 150/150 from 75/75.
- Spirit Touch now restores 3 mana per casting, down from 4.
- Possession has been reworked. It is now a channelled spell with a 4 1/2
second casting duration. During this time, the target is disabled and
frozen into place, but is also invulnerable; and the Banshee takes triple
damage from all attacks. Stunning or killing the Banshee that is casting
Possession will cause the spell to abort. Additionally, the range of
Possession has been increased to 350 from 200.
- Anti-magic Shell has been redesigned. The spell now absorbs the first 350
points of spell or magic damage dealt to the target, but does not grant
magic immunity. Note that spells absorbed by AMS can still deal secondary
effects, such as stun, paralysis, or mana drain. Also the mana cost of
AMS has been re-balanced to 150.
Orc
- Troll Batrider Unstable Concoction damage reduced to 550 from 900, and
splash damage increased to 140 from 100.
- Troll Batrider damage increased to 13-15 from 11-12.
- Level-1 Spirit Wolves now move at speed 320, down from speed 350.
- Level-3 Spirit Wolves now have 500 hit points, up from 400 hit points.
- Damage sustained over Spirit Link is now never fatal. Fatal damage sustained
via Spirit Link instead reduces a unit to 1 hit point, and dispels Spirit
Link.
- Stasis Trap area of effect reduced to 400 from 500.
- Shockwave now has a damage cap of roughly 12 units affected. Note that this
limit will not typically be reached except in team games.
Night Elf
- Shadow Strike level-1 DoT damage reduced to 10 per period, down from 15.
- Detonate mana drain reduced to 50 from 100.

hit points over 10 seconds.
Neutral Buildings, Units and Heroes
- Beastmaster Strength reduced to 22 from 25, and base armor reduced to 2 from
3.
- Level-2 hawk hit points reduced to 450 from 625, and level-3 hawk hit points
reduced to 650 from 875.
- Breath of Fire and Drunken Haze mana costs reduced to 70 from 75.
- Naga Sea Witch speed reduced to 300 from 320.
- Frost Arrows mana cost is now 10 per shot, up from 7 per shot.
- Pit Lord footprint, or collision size, has been reduced to 32 from 48. This
means that he takes up less space on the battlefield.
- Rain of Fire is now damage capped. This damage cap is invoked when Rain of
Fire hits more than 5 targets per wave.
- Level-1 Black Arrow no longer has a cooldown, but level-1 Minion damage
reduced to 9-10 from 14-15.
- Cleave attack splash radius increased to 200 from 150.
- Dragonspawn Meddlers have been rebalanced to correctly reflect their food,
level and gold cost. They now have 370 hit points, down from 500 hit points,
and deal 12-13 damage, down from 21-25 damage.
- Mercenary Barbed Arachnathids are now available at the start of the second
day, instead of very early in the game.
- Creep Bloodlust mana cost increased to 75 from 50.

80 lumber.

gold.

- Staff of Preservation no longer affects allied units--it now can only
affect its owner's units.
- Staff of Sanctuary now heals 15 hp/sec, up from 10 hp/sec.
Other
- We have made modifications to how gold is mined. Although these changes are
somewhat difficult to describe, the effect is that in almost all cases, 5
peons are required for an Orc or Human to mine a gold mine at maximum
efficiency (assuming the town hall equivalent is as close as possible).

Ich persönlich finde den Patch gut, ein guter Schritt in die richtige Richtung, leider nicht mehr wie ein Schritt. Der Damage vom MK ist höhr geworden, sehr schade. Die Warden is endlich geschwächt.
Dann halt wieder auf ein neuen warten der ihn wieder runter stellt den MK, aber der BeM und die Naga sind endlich down von ihrem Ritt in die unbesiegbarkeit.
Da kann man nur sagen nice Blizz...
Ich musste den Patchlog bischen verkürzen hab die Offlineveränderung gelöscht. Wer sie für Wichtig hält, kann sie hier nach lesen. www.Warcraft.de steht in den Top News.

NOTES: Replays are incompatible between major game revisions (1.12 replays
cannot be viewed with the 1.13 version of Warcraft III). Custom save games
will not load from version 1.12.
Ich persönlich finde den Patch gut, ein guter Schritt in die richtige Richtung, leider nicht mehr wie ein Schritt. Der Damage vom MK ist höhr geworden, sehr schade. Die Warden is endlich geschwächt.
Dann halt wieder auf ein neuen warten der ihn wieder runter stellt den MK, aber der BeM und die Naga sind endlich down von ihrem Ritt in die unbesiegbarkeit.
Da kann man nur sagen nice Blizz...
Ich musste den Patchlog bischen verkürzen hab die Offlineveränderung gelöscht. Wer sie für Wichtig hält, kann sie hier nach lesen. www.Warcraft.de steht in den Top News.
