Doom (and possibly other spells) should work the same way as Charm. - Fixed an issue with Metamorphosis which prevented some Orb effects from working while the Demon Hunter was in his altered form. - Fixed a problem with the Scroll of Town Portal which did not allow Heroes to regenerate the appropriate hit points and mana while the spell was being cast. - Fixed the accidentally inflated hit point regeneration rate on the Naga Sea Witch, Beastmaster, Pandaren Brewmaster, and Spell Breaker back to the standard .25 hit points per second. - Fixed Shockwave's damage radius to 125. - Fixed Orb items to now cause the proper damage versus air for melee Heroes. - Fixed an issue with Militia in which units ordered "Back to Work" could change back into Militia when arriving back at the town hall. - Fixed Breath of Fire's damage area to more accurately represent a cone area of effect, rather than a line. - Acolytes harvesting from a Haunted Gold Mine with the Entangling Roots buff now register as idle like other peons. - Fixed the Blight generated by the Sacrificial Skull such that a non-Undead building placed on top of the Blight will not remove the Blight when it finishes construction.

Note that Detonate and Unsummon will remain unaffected by Banish since they're considered "magical". - Fixed Lightning Shield so that if two units with Lightning Shields overlap each other, they both correctly take damage. - Fixed an issue that allowed an ally that did not have Shared Control to Uproot and command your Ancient of Wonders. Allied players without Shared Control should only be able to purchase items from the building. - Fixed a problem with item-summoned units which would cause them to leave corpses and spawn units from Black Arrow. - Fixed an issue with Animate Dead which in some cases caused the spell to transfer the unit upgrades to the new owner. - Fixed an issue that prevented players from way-pointing the Faerie Dragon's Mana Flare ability. MAPS Expansion - Frozen Throne - (2)Tirisfal Glades - Added more trees to bottom start location. Mercenary creep camps are better suited to drop a level-4 charged item. - (2)TheTwoRivers - Removed the Rune of Rebirth from Ogre Mage; added Rune of Mana to Ogre Mage. Lowered Ogre Lord drop from permanent level-6 item to level-5 item. Increased level of power up. - (2)GlacialThaw - The drop tables have been re-adjusted for better one-on-one competition. - (4)TwistedMeadows - Corner creep camps harder to Gargoyle rush.

Changed several creep drops to help with game flow. - (6)DemonsCrossing - Fixed alliance settings. - (6)RiverOfSouls - Removed the creeps from the taverns and fixed a cave doodad. - (8)AzureTowerDefense - Fixed the hotkey for the Azure Wisp 'A'.

Brilliance Aura and Frost Arrow both used 'R'; Brilliance Aura now uses 'A'. The +3 Tome's description now correctly states that it adds +3 to all Hero attributes. Classic - Reign of Chaos - (2)Plunder Isle - Added some trees to the north and south location near the Goblin Merchant to prevent the player from making purchases without engaging the creep guarding the building.

This causes them to give less experience when killed. - Scout Towers can be repaired twice as fast as before. Undead - Frost Nova cold effect now lasts 2/3/4 seconds against Heroes. It previously lasted 4/6/8 seconds against Heroes. - Animate Dead mana cost reduced to 175 from 250. - Death Coil cooldown increased to 6 seconds from 5 seconds. - The damage a Banshee takes while possessing a unit has been reduced to 225% from 300%. - Anti-magic Shell mana cost reduced to 75 from 100. - Anti-magic Shell correctly allows self-targeting now. - Devour Magic cooldown reduced to 7 seconds from 8 seconds. - Ziggurat armor reduced to 1 from 5. - Abomination hit points increased to 1175 from 1080. - Obsidian Statue hit points reduced to 550 from 700. - Frost Wyrm build time reduced to 65 seconds from 80 seconds. - Boneyard build time reduced to 70 seconds from 80 seconds. - Necromancer build time reduced to 24 seconds from 30 seconds. - Skeletal Longevity now costs 50/75, down from 100/75, and can be researched in 30 seconds, down from 60 seconds. - Necromancer Adept and Master training now take 30 and 45 seconds to research, down from 60 and 75 seconds. - Exhume Corpses now requires Halls of the Dead instead of Black Citadel. - Level-2 Carrion Beetles are now the same size as Ghouls, instead of the same size as Crypt Fiends.

Night Elf - Chimaera movement speed reduced to 250 from 270. - Fan of Knives level-2 base damage increased to 125 from 120, and level-3 base damage increased from 180 to 190. Although this appears to be an upgrade, it actually is a reduction in overall power.

This change remedies that error. - Mana Flare splash damage no longer harms units that lack a mana pool. - Wellspring now upgrades Moonwells to 425 mana, down from 500 mana, and Moonwell mana regeneration scaled proportionally. - Force of Nature casting range increased to 800 from 700. - Faerie Fire mana cost increased to 45 from 35. Neutral Units and Heroes - Dark Ranger starting Agility increased to 21 from 19. - Breath of Fire now correctly has a cone shape at all levels. Previously, the level-2 and level-3 versions were shaped exactly like Shockwave, while the level-1 area was occupying a much larger area than intended. The spell now hits far fewer targets, which roughly matches the graphic. The damage of Breath of Fire has been increased to 65/120/175 from 50/100/150 to compensate for this change. - Level-3 Quilbeasts' splash radii have been reduced from 75/100/150 to 25/75/125. - Drain Life damage increased to 25/40/55 per second from 20/35/50. - Cleaving Attack damage increased to 30%/55%/80% from 25%/45%/65%. - Tornado can now cyclone a particular unit more often once every 22 seconds, down from once every 30 seconds. - Tornado speed increased to 75 from 60. - Zeppelins are now available at the start of the 2nd day, rather than at the first nightfall. - Neutral Hero lumber cost increased to 135 from 100. - To purchase from a neutral shop or Mercenary Camp, a valid unit or Hero must now be within 450 distance units, down from 600 distance units.

They are not available until the first nightfall, and are now considered a level-3 permanent item, up from level 2. - Talisman of the Wild is now a level-5 charged item, up from 4. - Legion Doom-Horn is now a level-5 permanent item, up from being a level-4 permanent item. - Wand of Lightning Shield reduced to 2 charges from 3. - Orb of Venom poison damage increased to 9 per second from 7 per second. - Orb of Fire cost reduced to 275 gold from 300 gold. - Staff of Preservation cooldown increased to 30 seconds from 15 seconds.

ANNOUNCEMENT We are aware of some new issues that came up with the release of the 1.13 patch. We will be releasing a 1.14 patch in the near future that addresses some of these issues, including: - Custom save games from version 1.12 (including those from Orc Act I) incorrectly recognize Hero Agility, causing slow attack speeds after the 1.13 patch is applied. This will be fixed in the 1.14 patch. - Town Portal always places your units to the lower right side of your town hall instead of the location you clicked, as it previously did. This will be fixed in the 1.14 patch. - If you research the Skeletal Mage upgrade, then you will no longer be able to use the Raise Dead skill on the corpses inside a Meat Wagon. This will be fixed in the 1.14 patch. - When a unit with Unholy Frenzy is Polymorphed or Hexed, the unit permanently loses 75% of its attack speed. This will be fixed in the 1.14 patch. - If an Orc player uses the spell Spirit Link, and one of the linked units is a Troll Berserker with the Berserk ability active, then all units linked with that Troll will take the increased damage penalty associated with the Berserk ability. This will be fixed in the 1.14 patch. - If a unit casting a channeling spell dies from Mana Flare, the channeled spell lingers in the area permanently. This will be fixed in the 1.14 patch. - The Call to Arms command does not work if you click the button an EVEN number of times. This will be fixed in the 1.14 patch. * Any other confirmed issues that we can fix in time for the release of the 1.14 patch. Regarding balance, we are currently assessing the state of balance of 1.13 based on user feedback, online testing, and the review of replays. Although we will make some number of balance changes in 1.14, these have yet to be determined. We appreciate the community's patience and support in our endeavor to further tune the play balance, enhance the feature set, and increase the stability of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. - Blizzard Entertainment -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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.
