v1.4 [13 Feb 2014]
- Arena of Heroes battling can tend to be tedious, and longer than it should be. We've made some changes that have sped up the game significantly, both in terms of Time and Total Rounds. We appreciate the thorough feedback to our gameplay, and hope the improvements maintain the tactical balance we love but decreases game-time.
- Powercores are now damaged during gameplay for each 'kill', and no longer require heroes to destroy them outright. However, Heroes can still damage the Powercore if they attack it. Powercore Damages: Minion Kills = 5%, Hero Kills = 15%, , and Sentry Kills = 35%.
- First-Turn (after deployment) is now randomly assigned to a team
- Melee Minions now have 60 Hit Points down from 70
- All Heroes have been scaled to be about 40% larger on the battle map
- All Heroes now have 4 Actions
- All Heroes have had their Movement raised by 80%
- A player who 'idles' or 'disconnects' during a game will be booted after 1 Round of no-play, and Victory will be granted to the remaining player.
