Changelog

New
- All spell and item upgrades/purchases are instant!
- Colored homing missile (Thanks to softmints)
- Removed the spell knockback penalty system (popular demand)

- Added a new pillar type (winter)
- Added christmas setup command "-xmas"

Warlock 098b released

Changelog

New:
- Added an in-game 1vs1 ladder system (made by Toraxxx), which allows users to track their scores, including win/loss, fireball accuracy, APM on a website and their actual ladder position (more info on this later).
- Lightning bounce on shield
- Added APM to multiboard
- Added APM to other modes than round modes
- Remade Aegis mechanics: Aegis must be charged. Aegis is charged by hitting an opponent with fireball (max 1 charges)
- Added Epic Sound on flawless victory (a victory where any other team or player has 0 points)
- Silence now dispels all positive buffs on enemy target, including link casted by target
- Homing combo added. Damage increases depending on homing range
- Silence now has an effect (the effect duration matches that of the longest silenced spell)
- Replaced the D spell penalty with fireball penalty: For each spell you buy, fireball will be 10% less effective in regard to knockback. Each mastery upgrade cancels 10% of this penalty.

Fixes:
- Fixed a fatal fireball DPS bug
- Fixed an issue where misspelled commands by host during game setup could result in custom terrain accidentally triggered. This would cause the arena to be about 100% lava.
- Fixed some bugs involving end game score board. Multiple top scores will no longer result highlighting.
- Fixed an issue causing some spells to end at a range slightly higher than intended (this caused Silence to be inaccurate).
- Removed some unintended debug messages from the '-rs' commands
- Fixed a bug involving silence, link and shield
- Implemented a fix to Shield which should prevent the bug involving 2 (or more) nearby players using shield. Missiles cast in melee range of multiple shield users, will no longer cause a collision on either of the players.
- Remade mechanics of Stone of Jordan Ring, fixing several glitches
- Fixed some duration indicators when using clicking on 'Stone of Jordan Ring'
- Fixed some bugs involving collisions of drain and bouncer

Balances:
- Fireball requirements added (every 2nd level of fireball requires +1 'any' mastery)
- Gravity (Force Field) now heals allies
- Staff of Fireball charge up duration reduced from 7 to 4 seconds
- Staff of Fireball duration now relies on Pocket Watch
- Pocket watch cost reduced from 9 to 7
- Swap (Relocate) cooldown increased by 1
- Rush initial cost increased from 11 to 13
- Slightly increased hit-range of Silence
- Homing rebalanced (cooldown, damage based on range)
- Homing now requires 'any mastery' rather than range mastery
- Silence cooldown significantly decreased for early levels
- Silence speed increased from 700 to 900
- Link can now be denied by scourge casters if the link user is using Phoenix

Misc:
- Remade the life steal system. Life steal less than 1.0 hp, will be displayed as small text with value 100 times the life steal value.

Warlock 097 released

Mirrors:

http://www.epicwar.com/maps/165775/

Changelog

New:
- A setup system, which will allow multiple commands using just one string: Example:
"-gold 30,dm,sh,C 5 20,10"
This will set gold to 30, mode to dm, teams to shuffle, constant 5 to 20, and number of rounds to 10 and thus starting the game.

- Improved shuffle command. "-sh min" or "-sh max" will start a shuffle mechanism which will either attempt making the smallest teams or the biggest teams possible. 'Random shuffle' is still available by simply writing "-sh".

Fixes:
- Splitter (target) issues and exploits have been fixed by changing the mechanics of the spell

- Pillar bug: "Large Warlock Collider"
- Pillar stuck bug
- A bug causing Thrust to get a speed boost when used near pillars

Balances:
- Splitter (target) mechanics remade

- Link (induction) mechanics remade
- Strafe (rush toggle) cooldown decreased by 5 for all levels
- Lightning cooldown increased by 0.5 seconds for level 1. Knockback slightly increased.

Misc:

Writing -tmedit00111 will now set the first* two players on 'team 0' (red) and the next 3 players on 'team 1' (blue). First meaning those found on top of the list (e.g. red and teal, assuming blue has left the game).

A note: More changes were planned for 096, but was released 'early' due to holidays.
