PATCH 1.11 & 1.12 18/06/2013
GAMEPLAY
- Some minor bug fixes.

- Some minor behavior adjustments to improve gameplay and reduce lag.
-High Templars get a new model (thanks to GhostNova91!) and the zealot psi blades while keeping their powers. This is because templars are supposed to be the best protoss warriors including melee combat and it's ironic they don't get a melee combat behavior aswell as the psi abilities.

PATCH 1.11 04/03/2013
TERRAZINE REMOVED FROM MELEE MAP.
Since this is a testing map for an upcoming campaign, and terrazine proved a redundant role in game, we've decided to remove it from the game and keep it for campaign only purposes. All unit and tech costs have been restablished to vespene and minerals.
SCALE & LOOKS
- All Ground units have been rescaled (+50%) to improve gameplay and microing issues. Standard air units remain the same, all capital ships have their size reduced, they proved to big to handle in current in game views.
- Hunter Killer model replaced by HotS campaign model, to more easily distinguish between them and hydralisks.
- Battlecruiser and carrier size reduced, since this are smaller ship classes (minotaur class battlecruiser and tempest class carrier), we needed to show the difference between this and the starcraft1 models wich are bigger (behemoth class battlecruiser, old carrier). Sadly, there are no old models in this melee game, only for the campaign.
GAMEPLAY
- New Noxious strain upgrade added to Ultralisk Cavern. Allows user to choos between Torrasque and Noxios strains.
- New Devourer unit to the zerg swarm. Can mutate from mutalisk with new morph to devourer ability.
- New Hive ability called "Swarm Awareness", reveals all capital ships on the map por 30 seconds. Made to facilitate zerg handling of this units.
- All capital ships hitpoints reduced by - +2000 depending on balance, they felt to hard to beat for players without them.
- All races suppy limits reduced, players never got to use them at full capacity.
- Vespene and mineral in each of it's containers have been reduced to force a heavy mineral unit composition with some special vespene heavy units. This goes accordingly to the campaign and mod basic ideals and it's time to implement it.
- Medivac, colonist transport and troop transport "transport" ability can now only carry infantry. There's a reason why Hercules heavy transports exist.
PATCH 1.23 04/05/2013
GAMEPLAY
- All races supply limits reduced, in a melee game they never got fully used. Come as follows: Protoss 240, Terran 280 & Zerg 340.
- Each race's worker now cost only .25 supply. This effectively clears up some space for more units.
BALANCE
Terran
- Emergency thrusters ability given to medivac. Since it's now an infantry only transport it should be faster in drops.
- Battlecruiser laser batteries ignore armor.
- Reaper Healing Drugs now works normaly.
Protoss
- Nexus gets two abilities: Building shield wich grants target friendly structure an effective vs light attack. and Invulnerability shield wich makes the target units invulnerable for 20 seconds.

- Sentry gets the Phase shift wich disables a structure for a short period.
- Stone Zealot's attacks now ignore armor, custom passive button added.
Zerg
- Infested terrans (infestor) spawn in packs of 4 now. It seemed not to zerguish to spawn only one compared to other zerg abilities like spore rain and also gets range increased.
- Viper gets the Eye Stalk ability wich grants detection to a target unit
PATCH 1.72 31/12/2013
