Glad to see another patch.

Damn blizzard did a good patch for once!:D

Yep looks good.

Looks good but some very odd things like the halls of dead/black citadel 1/4 dmg but frost... I think thats worse for UD. And the you can make Gryphon Avairies at keep but can't make anything (I think, I dont have beta) till castle. Maybe you can make hawks...

You can build Dragonhawks. And i played undead in a random battle, and the lowered damage but frost really helps. They where using hit and run tactics, and i was techin, and all of the sudden i reach tier 2, and boom, i killed their hero.

Me hopes this will be the future:
Beta Patch 315:

Undead changes:
Destroyers have gone back to be called "Black Sphnixs".

I hated Blizzard ever since they changed Black Sphinxs to Destroyers!
