MAJOR ADDITIONS

ABILITY ADDITIONS & CHANGES

  • Orc Pillage [Peon, Grunt, and Raider] - A passive ability that adds resources to the player when affected units attack enemy buildings.
  • Human Call To Arms [Peasants] - Peasants can now temporarily turn into "Militia" units to defend your town from attacks. You can swap them from Peasant to Militia at the Town Hall at any time. After some time has passed, your Militia unit will tire of war and revert back to a Peasant.
  • Hide [Archer, Huntress, and the Hero Priestess of the Moon] - This night- only ability causes affected units to stop executing their current orders and to ignore targets, activating Shadowmeld (Invisibility). If attacked, the "hiding" unit will respond.
  • Renew [Wisp] - Heals Ancients and mechanical units.
  • Faerie Fire [Druid of the Talon] - Reduces an enemy target's armor and allows the unit to be spied upon for the duration of the spell.
  • Cyclone [Druid of the Talon] - Immobilizes enemy target temporarily.
  • Roar [Druid of the Claw] - Increases attack damage for all units within area of effect.
  • Rejuvenation [Druid of the Claw] - Quickly recovers lost hit points on affected friendly units.
  • Sentinel [Huntress] - Sends a detector owl companion to a nearby tree to provide vision. Each Huntress only has one owl.
  • Healing Ward [Witch Doctor] - Heals all friendly units within area-of-effect.
  • Cripple [Necromancer] - Reduces enemy target's movement speed, attack speed, and damage for duration of spell.
  • Pulverize [Tauren] - Gives the Tauren a chance of dealing area-of-effect damage on their attacks.
  • Flare [Mortar Team] - Each Mortar Team has one flare that can be used to reveal an area of the map for a short duration of time.
  • Bash [Hero Mountain King] - While the Mountain King is attacking, he has a chance of dealing extra damage, which stuns an opponent.
  • Unholy Aura [Hero Death Knight] - Increases movement and attack speed for all friendly units within range.
  • War Stomp [Hero Tauren Chieftain] - Stuns and damages any enemy units within the area of effect.
  • Feral Spirit [Hero Far Seer] - Transforms a friendly unit into a Spirit Wolf for a period of time.
  • Scout [Hero Priestess Of The Moon] - Sends an owl to scout an increasingly larger area of the map based on ability level.
