Upcoming Changes
Some big changes coming for Beta 0.2.
First off is bigger hordes with most hordes getting an extra 5 units each.
Some hordes have been increased even more.
Also balancing some of the solo units like Trolls and Berserkers so they are still viable against the bigger hordes.
Creep Lairs have also been made a bit tougher to counter this change.
Damage types have been changed a bit as well to better incorporate the different unit types.
Orcs, Uruks and Cavalry will all now do SLASH damage (Cavalry get a scalar against infantry)
URUK damage has been changed to a sort of "Bite" type for units like Wolves, Wargs and Spiders.
FORCE is now the damage type for Elite units, basically it's like a slightly weaker version of HERO.
CHOP has been the damage type for Axemen but this has been made more prevalent.
CRUSH damage is no longer done by cavalry when attacking normally, it is still the damage type for crushing and knock back type attacks and also for Hammer units.
I've also been adding in audio for a lot of units and heroes.
