WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos by Blizzard - German retail v1.17 patch
Patch 1.17 Game Changes
FEATURES
- A "Profile" button has been added to the Battle.net toolbar. You can now look
at your profile from the Battle.net news page without ever entering chat.
- Replays now display their version number in the Replay selection screen.
FIXES
- Fixed a problem that caused some instant spells cast after a targeted spell
to execute before the targeted spell.
- Fixed problems with the Melee AI when it attempted to use certain instant
spells.
- Fixed a problem with Morphing units re-executing commands that were
interrupted by the morph timer expiring.
- Fixed an exploit that would allow players to track enemy units under the fog
of war with queued move commands.
- Fixed a problem with units following enemy units and never proceeding to the
next order when they moved underneath the fog.
- Fixed a problem with spells that can target a point or unit (like Shockwave)
failing when the selected target dies. If the selected target runs under the
fog or teleports, the spell is intended to fail.
- Fixed a problem with Envenomed Spears wearing off too early if the affected
unit was also affected by Slow Poison.
- Fixed the invisibility transition time for levels 2 and 3 of Wind Walk.
- Fixed Devour such that devoured units now give experience to the owner of the
Kodo Beast if it gets polymorphed/hexed and instantly digests the unit.
- Fixed rally points such that friendly units will no longer cancel rally
orders to Heroes that teleport or Mirror Image.
- Fixed illusions so they now get correct damage, armor, life, and mana bonuses
consistent with the original units.
- Fixed an issue with morphed units that could cause them to cost food when
revived by Animated Dead if they had died in their morphed form.
- Fixed upgrading buildings such that they now receive the correct hit point
bonus from the Masonry upgrade.
- Fixed a problem that could cause manually cast arrow abilities to
occasionally fail.
- Fixed channeling units so they will auto-queue orders issued to the entire
selection except for Stop and Hide. Orders issued to the selected subgroup will
break channeling (so you can teleport out of the area while channeling).
- Fixed units in the middle of a non-channeling spell such that they will now
auto-queue all orders until the spell is complete.
- Fixed observers so they now recieve notifications when ANY player's forces
are under attack.
- Fixed Hero icons so their order is now consistent throughout the game.
- Fixed replay speeds so they can once again be changed while the replay is
paused.
MAPS
- (6)Dark Forest - Cleaned up some trees to provide wider areas for larger
groups to path through. The creep camp guarding the top middle expansion gold
mine no longer attacks units that path nearby.
BALANCE CHANGES
General
- Haunted and Entangled Gold Mines are now indicated on the minimap.
- Line damage spells such as Shockwave and Carrion Swarm no longer damage a
targeted friendly unit.

autocast enabled when the research completes.
- Repairing an upgrading building now uses the repair time and cost of the
original building.
- Harvesting, building, and repairing workers are the only units left behind by
a teleport.
- Multiple units casting the same spell now distribute the load more
efficiently.
- Missile spells no longer wake creeps when launched. Instead, the creeps now
wake when a spell hits.
- Constructing Peasants are now included in group selections. A constructing
Peasant will automatically queue all orders unless it is the only unit
selected, or until it receives a Stop order.

is used while channeling, channeling will end.
- Damage-capped AOE spells now have a seperate cap for friendly, enemy, and
neutral units.

- Banshee attack range increased to 600 from 500.
- Units raised by Animate Dead are now invulnerable to dispels as well as
damage.

building in addition to the cost of the upgrade (before it was just the cost of
the upgrade).
Orc
- Experience granted for killing the Spirit Wolves summoned by the spell Feral
Spirit increased by approximately 40%.
- Wind Walk now allows the Blademaster to walk through units.
- Wind Walk's backstab damage reduced to 40/70/100 from 50/85/120.
- Chain Lightning will now jump to sleeping targets if the primary target is
also asleep.
Night Elf
- Abolish Magic no longer auto-dispels hero spells.

buffs on enemies when manually cast (it already did this for autocast).

- The Huntress' bouncing attacks will no longer bounce back to the initial
target.
Items
- All Orbs now affect magic-immune units.
- Targeting an unwalkable location with a Scroll of Town Portal will now try to
place units as close to that location as possible. If no valid location can be
found, the units will be teleported to an area around the town hall.
NOTES: Replays are incompatible between major game revisions (1.16 replays
cannot be viewed with the 1.17 version of Warcraft III). Custom save games will
not load from version 1.16.

Patch 1.15 Game Changes
FEATURES
- The matchmaking system has been significantly updated. New accounts should
more quickly begin playing against opponents of equivalent skill level.
- Display of channel moderators has changed.
- Ladder information is now more clearly separated in your user profile.
- Free For All (FFA) games are now anonymous. Account names and player levels
will no longer be displayed to other participants. Other players will be
displayed as "Player X", where X is the number of the player in the game.
- Added an on/off button for the "Alt" formation toggle functionality to the
Options --> Gameplay menu. The option is "On" by default.
- Added a "Worker Selection" button that appears beneath the construction
progress indicator for Night Elf and Orc buildings. This allows Orc and Night
Elf players to re-select workers that are currently constructing a building and
give them additional way-pointed orders.
- Added the ability for users to double-click replay files (*.w3g files) from
system directories. Doing so will automatically launch the game and load the
appropriate replay.
- Buff and debuff icons (not including auras) now flash when their duration has
10 or fewer seconds remaining.

Burrows, Goblin Zeppelins, etc.) which could cause units to get stuck inside
permanently.

not being properly removed from the game.

teams when viewing replays.

Crypt Fiends after they unburrow.

town hall was destroyed before the spell completed. The Hero now retains the

- Fixed an issue with the "Observers on Defeat" functionality that caused units
not to be displayed on the minimap.

improperly.

regenerate the appropriate hit points and mana while the spell was being cast.

- Fixed an issue with Militia in which units ordered "Back to Work" could
change back into Militia when arriving back at the town hall.
- Acolytes harvesting from a Haunted Gold Mine with the Entangling Roots buff
now register as idle like other peons.
- Fixed Lightning Shield so that if two units with Lightning Shields overlap
each other, they both correctly take damage.
- Fixed an issue with Animate Dead which in some cases caused the spell to
transfer the unit upgrades to the new owner.
MAPS
- (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. Cleared some room around the Goblin Merchant
to prevent Archer cheese.

NOTES: Replays are incompatible between major game revisions (1.14 replays

Patch 1.14b Game Changes
Fixes

change your selected subgroup.
Patch 1.14 Game Changes

- Fixed an issue that caused a unit to permanently lose 75% of its attack speed
if it was Polymorphed while under the effects of Unholy Frenzy.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Call to Arms command not to work if you

Balance Changes
- Neutral Units
- Summoned Treants no longer give large gold bounties.
NOTES:
- Replays are incompatible between major game revisions (1.13 replays cannot be
viewed with the 1.14 version of Warcraft III).
Patch 1.13b Game Changes
Fixes
- Fixed an issue related to copy protection.
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.
Patch 1.13 Game Changes
FEATURES
- Warcraft III now supports binding an email address to your Battle.net account
so that you can recover your password at a later stage, similar to the
functionality that was added to D2.
MAPS
- (2)Plunder Isle - Added some ground-based anti-air units to the Dragon camps;
also added some trees to the top start location.

should be a bit tougher. Each player's expansion gold mine now has one melee
creep. The Goblin Merchant camp is now tougher and has anti-air.
BALANCE CHANGES
Human

vs. units and one second vs. Heroes each level. Additionally, level-2 and
level-3 damage are now 225 and 350, respectively.

behavior" so air units will break out of clusters once they reach a
destination.

following. If the unit they are following goes into attack mode, they will drop
into attack mode as well.

containing this Hero is given a new command. The Hero must be individually
selected in order to be given another command.

structure is completed.

- Treants created by Force of Nature now benefit from the Nature's Blessing
upgrade.
- Mana Burn cooldown is now 7/6/5 seconds by level, down from 7/7/7 seconds by
level.
- Tranquility cooldown reduced to 60 from 120.
- Tranquility mana cost reduced to 125 from 200.
- Cyclone no longer affects mechanical units.
- Rejuvenation can now be cast on units at full health.
- Ancients now attack while rooted.
- Hippogryph attack decreased from 1d9 + 37 to 1d7 + 31 to reflect new air
pathing changes.
- Chimaera splash increments reduced by 50 for quarter, 25 for half. This
effectively means that Chimaeras will do less splash damage than previously.
Items
- Items have been revamped with new level tables. Items now have a level from 1
to 8, along with one of several categories. Items of levels 1 to 6 can be
charged items, permanent items, or powerups. Items of level 7 or higher are
artifacts. Examples: Wand of Lightning Shield (charged), Stone Token (charged),
Ring of Protection +2 (permanent), Tome of Strength +2 (powerup), Mask of Death
(artifact).
- You can now sell items at the Goblin Merchant by right-clicking on an item,
and then "dropping" it onto a Goblin Merchant.
- Scroll of Town Portal now takes 5 seconds to use. During this time it is
being "channeled", and the Hero using it cannot be attacked or stunned. Under
no circumstances can the town portal be aborted once started.
- Wand of Illusion can no longer be cast on hostile units. This change was
made to prevent players from cheesing high level creep camps by using Wand of
Illusion on high level creeps, and then using this illusionary creep to tank
the damage.
- Boots of Speed no longer stack--two Boots of Speed will make a Hero just as
fast as one.
Other
- When "attack-moving", air units now prefer to attack other air units more
often than previously.
- Creeps that are not in combat now ignore flying units. This means that if
you move flying units around using "move" instead of "attack move", creeps will
generally not attack them.
- Creeps can no longer be dragged via constant attacks--they eventually give up
and return to their start location.
- Goblin Sappers now deal 750 damage to buildings, 250 damage to all units, and
185 damage to Heroes. These values are reduced by armor values such as '5
armor', but do not interact with armor types (e.g. 'Medium armor').
- Units in a transport killed over ground will "spill out" over a wider area.
This means that surrounding a webbed transport and killing it will generally
not kill the passengers.
NOTES:
- Replays are incompatible between major game revisions. (1.06 replays cannot
be viewed with the 1.10 version of Warcraft III.) Custom save games will not
load from versions 1.06 and below.
Patch 1.06 Game Changes
Balance Changes
Improved Counterability
Unarmored Light Medium Heavy Fortified Hero
Normal 100% 150% 100% 100% 50% 100%
Piercing 150% 75% 100% 150% 35% 50%
Siege 150% 50% 100% 100% 150% 50%
Magic 75% 100% 200% 100% 50% 50%
Hero 100% 100% 100% 100% 50% 100%
You can find further information related to armor and damage types on our web
site at http://www.battle.net/war3/basics/armorandweapontypes.shtml.
Spellcaster Rebalance
- Most spellcasters (Sorceress, Priest, Shaman, Witch Doctor, Necromancer,
Banshee, Druid of the Talon) have been re-balanced. In general, units with
piercing damage rip up spellcasters, while basic melee units, such as Ghouls or
Footmen, are weak against spellcasters. The specific changes to the units in
question are:
. They have a new armor type, unarmored, which takes bonus damage from
siege and piercing attacks.
. They also have a new damage type, magic, which does reduced damage to
fortified and hero armor, but does bonus damage against medium armor.
. They had their damage adjusted, typically downwards.
. They no longer gain damage as they go up in level, and gain less
hitpoints as they go up in level (but start with more hitpoints when initially
built)
. Many autocast buffs and debuff costs reduced.
. Casters, including Dryads, have had their mana regeneration rates
boosted by 30%.
Hero Damage
- Heroes now have an aptly named hero damage type. It deals 100% damage to
everything except fortified armor, to which it deals 50% damage. Hero damage
was added so that heroes no longer strongly counter ranged units such as
Archers and Crypt Fiends.
Advanced Structures
- Most advanced technology structures had their build times reduced. This
reduction ranged from 20 seconds for especially underused structures, to 10
seconds for less underused structures. For instance, the Slaughterhouse builds
20 seconds faster now, while the Arcane Sanctum build time was only reduced 10
seconds.
Humans
- Flares now cost 75/25 to research, down from 100/50.
- Inner Fire cost increased to 35, from 25.
- Slow cost reduced to 40 from 50.
- Slow duration vs heroes reduced to 10 seconds from 20 seconds.
- Thunderclap debuff is 50% at all levels, and lasts 5/3 at all levels.

- Curse now causes a 33% chance to miss, up from 25%.
- Curse now lasts 2 minutes, up from 1 minute.
- Curse cost reduced to 40 mana from 50.

Orcs
- Bloodlust cost reduced from 50 mana to 40 mana.
- Raiders now have light armor instead of heavy armor.
- Raider Ensnare lasts 12 seconds, down from 20 seconds, and has a cooldown of
12 seconds, down from 20 seconds.
- Bladestorm cooldown reduced to 3 minutes, down from 4 minutes.
Night Elves
- Cyclone duration on units increased to 15 from 10.
- Faerie Fire cost reduced to 35 from 75.
- Chimaera Roost cost reduced to 230/70 from 280/100.
- Ancients temporarily lose their fortified armor when they uproot, becoming
medium armor units.
- Dryads now have the unarmored armor type. This change was made to further
specialize Dryads as melee killers, but allow piercing damage units, such as
Crypt Fiends and Archers, to counter them more effectively.
- Dryad hitpoints increased to 435 from 380.
Other
- All basic siege units (Mortar Teams, Catapults, etc.) have had their night
sight increased to 1100 from 1000.
Creeps
- Creep-cast Polymorph duration reduced to 25.
- Creep autocast Heal heals 12 hp a cast not 15.

replenishing a hero's
health and mana.

- Tome of Experience is now a level 5 item.

BALANCE CHANGES
- Humans: Brilliance Aura has been reworked, and is no longer % based. It now
adds a fixed amount of mana per second to units under its power -- .75, 1.5,
and 2.25 respectively by level. While it's just as effective with mass
spell-casters, players will find it is less powerful (though still exceedingly
useful) with Heroes.
- Humans: Divine Shield now costs 25 mana, down from 75.
- Humans: Blizzard no longer goes up in radius as the level of the ability
increases.
- Humans: Water elementals now last 60 seconds, down from 75.

21-24 damage, up from 16-18 damage. They also have less armor (3, down from 5),
but also hit harder against air units, doing 51-63 damage, up from 46-57
damage. Note that they are still just as effective against air units as they
were before, but their ground attack has been much improved.
- Undead: Death Pact now costs 50 mana (down from 75), and can be cast twice as
frequently as before (15 seconds cooldown from 30).

2/level, up from 13 + 1.6/level.

attack more slowly than before.

damaged).
- Night Elves: Mana Burn no longer affects units with Mana Burn (Demon Hunters,

- Night Elves: Moon Wells now spend mana on health and mana replenishment
separately. For instance, if you sent a 0-mana, nearly dead Demon Hunter to a
Moon Well, and the Moon Well had 100 mana, your DH would gain 25 mana, and 100
health. Before, the Hero would gain 200 health and 50 mana. This change does
not affect the benefits of healing a unit without mana.

powerful.
