SC2Mapster

Here I will be posting the deleted section of the old Changelog from the sc2 forum official thread:

------
v0.9.985
-Restored the incompatible Phase 1 map to working condition.
-Further optimization of triggering to reducing in game lag
-More Balancing

--Beta Phase 1 Ends--
v0.9.9815 - Victory conditions work, Player has Dialog to Observe the rest of the game as a Neutral player, When a Player dies, so does all his units.
v0.9.9812 - Optimization of some spawning triggers to reduce game start latency issues and end game major lag issues. Will be optimizing more as we come closer to final release of Marine Arena.
v0.9.981 - Dialog buttons for game mode selection.
v0.9.980
Squad Mode:  Squad mode is a more Tactical much more Micro game of Marine Arena. This is done by capping player units. Marines and Mercs are set to a different cap. Marine cap is 40. Merc Cap is 20. This is the first phase of testing our Squad Mode. If the cap needs to be changed, please let us know. You can no longer sit in your base and Amass 100's of units to throw at your opponent. Micro to Survive!

------
v0.9.975
Now that my map is nearing completion (until sc2 launch when real heroes are added), all thats left to do is clean up and minor bug fixes/balancings. If I can shorten all the triggers, then this will greatly increase the game speed, making less lag late game.

Trigger Clean up
-Triggers that increase spawn rate now replaced with an upgrade, so now whenever a unit enters region the map doesnt have to check if it == changeling to enable extra spawn rate.
-Triggers that give you back your vespene for hero death replaced with a very short global trigger that works for all players, so I cut down 7 triggers per hero.
-Removed the triggers for when players leave the game, these arent really needed and just lag the game up when players quit, since marine spawning already disables when the CC dies and doesnt work if the player =/= user.
-More Balancing and Tweaking
-dead players still spawning units fixed

--------
v0.9.95 Changelog
-Fixed a major issue with an overflow of triggers being run when a CC dies
-Reduced the damage of the hellion slightly
-Set up the game lobby to 2v2v2v2 again
-Made the leaderboard bigger so when players minimize it, they can bring it back
-DT cannot attack itself anymore with splash damage
-a few other bugs/balance fixes.

--------
v0.9.925 Changelog
-Fixed the base defense armor, you now only get +3 armor per upgrade and it costs more
-Base Armor costs increases upon each use
-Base defense damage costs 100 base and increases each use
-Increased the morph time of the Towers
-Reduced the Engery regen of the towers
-Reduced the starting energy of the towers
-Base defense range and health upgrades costs more and increase on each use
-PF has Scan back
-Nerfed the Auto turret, halved its life
-Hero prices have been adjusted depending on their usefulness. Example: The Ultralisk is the most expensive, the Thor is cheaper than the Colossus and Ultra, the HT costs the most for light heroes, etc.
-Hellions gained a buff, increased damage and they now to +10 to biological, and pre-igniter also adds +10 to bio, this will make them more useful vs roach+marine builds
-Reduced the Cleave of the ultralisk from a radius of 2 to a radius of 1.25
-Fixed the DT's cleave
-Hunter Killer has low ranged splash and high melee splash
-various other fixes and balances

-Added in the Defensive tower finally. Reworked some of the other tower's abilities.
-Fixed problem when people die and their spawning starts again after disable marine spawn ability has been used

-Enabled a "Fast Game Mode" enabled by Player 1, gives double periodic income and +500 starting minerals.
-Enabled a "Sudden Death Mode" enabled by Player 1, activated by any player. After 1 hour elapsed, sudden death mode becomes available, any player can activate it and it destroys and disabled every defense structure in the game.

This list will be updated as I continue to change/add more things, 0.9.925 will be available for download later today.
