Version 1.1:

- Added oil patches to the seas, which function as a time-based income system

- Added the Ancient Collosal to the Night Elves; a wisp can merge its spirit with a Mountain Giant to create the massive unit capable of hurling boulders long distances

- With their Well of Wonder, the Night Elves can grow trees to create a defensive barrier anywhere within a large radius (They can no longer build walls)

- Orcs can build War Stations, mobile units that can repair machines and train Grunts, Raiders, and Axemen

- Humans can upgrade their walls to allow Archers to garrison and fire from them

- Mercenary naval units: Pirate ships that plunder from enemy units each attack, Gnomish repair vessels, a kamikaze Orc rowboat

- If a Hero kills the Dragon King, he reaches max experience

- Killing the Dragon King drops the lucrative "Dragon Gold" item, it's worth 10,000 gold

Version 1:

- Added high-resolution terrain textures for the Lordaeron tileset

- Decreased wait time for Prince

Version .9:

- Orcs and Humans have a "super unit." If the Orcs build 15 ogres, they acquire the Ogre Master, a powerful hero with unique spells.

- If the Humans build enough defensive structures, they acquire the Royal Family. First come the King who can create Vassal states, knight Royal Captains, and marry a Queen. When the Queen appears, the prince will also soon appear. The prince is himself a hero, but can choose to murder his father (you just have him attack your King) to become even more powerful.

- Vassals generate an income stream

- The "Knight" ability when applied to Royal Captains summons a horse, allowing the unit to become a Royal Crusader

- The Humans now have the "Enforce Prayer" ability at the Church. Activating it will allow a chance that an Angel appear in 5 minutes to provide extra defense to your forces

- The Dragon King now has a knock-back ability

- To make directing large armies even easier, every unit has a "Command Comrades" ability. Clicking anywhere on the map will order all units of its type to attack-move the target location

Version .8:

- Orcs, Humans, and Undead workers have an "advanced build" button; Night Elves can train Blood Elf engineers; you no longer have to purchase builder units as mercenaries

- Human footmen are promoted to Royal Captains once they accumulate 2 kills

- Night Elves can build a Blood Elf Observatory, which can reveal the entire map for 10 seconds

- To ease micromanagement of large armies, heroes have a "command coordinates" ability that allows them to order all of your military units to attack-move any point on the map.

- Races are now balanced

Other major features:

- Food limit is now 160

- Units' attack strength has been doubled

Minor features:

- Humans can upgrade Knights to Paladins. Paladins have a 25% chance of surviving the death of their horse to continue the battle as a foot soldier.

- Orcs can increase the armor of Ogres further with a special upgrade that equips them with shields

- Siege weapons have a badass explosion impact

- Abominations have been replaced by Hell Riders who can set building on fire with their raze ability

- Human archers have a flaming arrow ability that sets units on fire

- Siege towers can be garrisoned, and when garrisoned by archers can attack

- Kodo Beast Tower can be garrisoned by Troll Beserkers

- Undead can build the Lindormr Dragon, which can take off and land, functioning as both a land and air unit

- Mortar Teams can lay mines

- an independent population limit for ships, just like in Age of Empires 3, which avoids problematic trade-offs between land and sea units

- Many more unique units and abilities!

NOTE: This map is designed to be played LAN with a friend, since the AI will not take advantage of many of the features.

UPDATE: Fixed some of the tool tip errors and balanced creeps.
