- Melee units no longer face south after moving

In addition, the following changes were made to gameplay:
Sylvans
- Rangers now require a 50/100 upgrade to gain their full speed bonus over carvers and skelies
- Rangers now normalized to carverpower/effectiveness and also cost 250 (but have a lot more hps
and do less damage than carvers)
- Treants hit a bit farther making it easier for them to engage foes
- Very slight scout downgrade to HPs along with less slight increase to damage
- Unicorns slightly cheaper and have more HP
- Unicorn teleport focus cheaper to research
- Jump slightly downgraded
- Elder Oak Grove and Enchanted Vale slightly cheaper to produce and build slightly faster
- Unicorns build slightly faster
- Chronomancy no longer affects spellcasters (Sorry Dire!)
- Spider research time increased
Accursed
- Contagion is now a chaining "weakness" spell that will hit allied or hostile troops
(up to 7 targets). It causes decreases in attack power and increases refire rate/cooldown.
It costs 35 mana to cast and doesnt cost hitpoints. The overall "Downside" Effect is
around 35% decrease in damage.
- Leaping blight moves slightly faster and has slightly more range
- Avengers can shoot a bit farther making it easier for them to engage foes
- Caustic Ooze activates more quickly now
- Changlings morph about 1/2 second faster
- AP Rounds hit for 5 less damage
- Ebon Boneworks build slightly faster (10 sec)
- Spectral archers are now substantially stronger, though still slightly inferior to marksmen for cost
- Fear Seeds cooldown time greatly increased
Dark Elves
- Moags bite a bit farther making it easier for them to engage foes
- Immolation costs 45 to cast now
- Blind slightly weakened on all fronts
- Atrum basilica builds faster
New Maps Added
- OldForestRoad 1-1 and 2-2 (Released on SSEdit.com in December)
- SplitPartners (an interesting team game that is like two seperate 1-1s with
a narrow gap between... also an interesting potential for a 2 tower
rush or power... either has been countered effectively in testing on 1.2)
- ThreeWayFFA-Land (Just the old FFA map but not islands anymore and with reduced resources)
- WaterCrossing (sort of a cross between LavaCrossing and Duel Rivers and Blighting)
Maps Modified
- AccursedHills (Minor)
- Circumvention (Minor)
- Highlanders (Opened up more)
- TheBlighting (Balance fixes)
