- new archers upgrade added: range increase (requires t3 main building)
- apprentices' icestorm ability now spawns less projectiles, and doesnt do 'piercing' damage (that is, less effective against higher tier units)
- in 'classic with heroes' mode, all heroes stats are nerfed (health and abilities' damage)
- game will now check for mods version (as Steam's internal up-to-date mod check algorithm is currently broken)
- players will always spawn in the furthest slots in ranked games
