Version History

W3Champions Season 25 update^[2]

Ancients can be built defensively at the top starting location (already possible at the bottom).
Removed barricades (between main and expo) and fire pits (3-3-2 green camps) that stand in the way, to create more space.
Moved critters slightly further apart from the 3-2-2 camps to reduce instances of having an unusable critter early on.

Balance Patch History
Version	Release	Balance Changes
1.31.0	2019-05-28	Replaced 1 Warrior Arachnathid with a Barbed Arachnathid and a Crystal Arachnathid at the Arachnathid creep camp. Also moved the Nerubian Webspinner to the other side of the creep camp. Item drop changed from level 3 permanent and level 1 power up to level 2 permanent and level 2 charged. Removed Rock Archway doodads near starting locations to improve visibility. Removed random frogs around the map and added a frog critter at the orange ogre/tuskar creep camp for each player. Natural expansion creep camp changed from 2 Mud Golems, 2 Ogre Warriors and Rock Golem to Ice Troll, Ice Troll Priest, Tuskarr Trapper, and Ogre Magi. Item drop no longer includes a level 2 power up. Added additional fence near Goblin Laboratory and moved expansion back a little into the tree line to improve pathing. Goblin Laboratory creep camp changed from 2 Gnoll Wardens and 2 Gnoll Overseers to 2 Tuskarr Sorcerers and Polar Furbolg Tracker. Item drop changed from level 2 permanent and level 2 power up to level 3 permanent. Replaced 1 Ice Troll High Priest with Ice Troll Berserker at Marketplace creep camp. Red creep camp changed from Blue Drake and 4 Ice Troll Berserkers to Magnataur Reaver, Ogre Magi, Polar Furbolg Shaman, and Ogre Warrior. Item drop now includes a level 2 power up. Replaced 1 Gnoll Assassin with Gnoll Warden at Goblin Merchant creep camp. Shifted the northeast starting location so that it is an optimal distance away from the Gold Mine. Small visual terrain changes and improvements around the map. Changed some terrain on islands in the northwest and southeast to be unbuildable. Fixed gaps in tree line around the map. Removed 2 stray trees near the top expansion in the river.
1.30.0	2018-08-08	Cleaned up tree placement.
