Version History

Balance Patch History
Version	Release	Balance Changes
1.17	2004-09-20	Fixed channeling units so they will auto-queue orders issued to the entire selection except for Stop and Hide. Orders issued to the selected subgroup will break channeling (so you can teleport out of the area while channeling). Channeling ultimates now cancel invulnerability. If an invulnerability spell is used while channeling, channeling will end.
1.10	2003-07-03	A Hero channeling a spell will not stop casting the spell when a group containing this Hero is given a new command. The Hero must be individually selected in order to be given another command.
