Not sure if it is the right place to post, but I have a map and its dependency is set as "Swarm (Mod)".
I opened up the Data Editor, looked at the Reaper and for some reason, Tech Lab is needed to build Reapers. But I still remember that in-game, no Tech Lab is needed!
Looked at the Factory, and realised that this dependency is so outdated! Only 3 units can be built from Factory: Hellion, Siege Tank, and Warhound! Warhound was obviously removed from the game...
How can I fix this?
Note: I tried using the dependency "Swarm Multi (Mod)", so it fixed the glitch for the Reaper, but not for the Factory...
@Chris97Ong: Go Adding Sawrm Multi and removing Swarm (Mod) should be the first step if you want multiplayer data, but unfortunately Blizzard didn't apply balance patches to the dependencies like it was in WoL, so if you want current ladder stats you will have to change them manually.
@Chris97Ong: Go If its an extension mod, you don't need to worry because multiplayer balance data will be applied anyway. The problem is if its an arcade map. If you still need to access some of those modifications for an extension mod, I'd say make those changes manually and leave the others alone.
I never heard of anyone creating a custom dependency for balance changes.

Just a minor addition to this. About half the balance patches do make it into the dependencies, and half just don't. It seems to be completely random. For example, the siege tank attack speed increase is included in the Swarm Multi mod, but the Frenzy buff on Brood Lords is not.
Basically, yeah, you're going to have to make your own "balance patch" if you want up-to-date melee stats. It's not that daunting though. Off the top of my head, I think it's only Frenzy on Brood Lords that is missing?

Really? Well...that would be a lot of work needed. Do you know of any custom dependency that already does that?

@TyaStarcraft: Go Hydra's attack cooldown wasn't added. Going through the whole list just to be sure would be boring.

Unfortunately my map is an arcade map :(
