#### Patch 1.0.7.1 (4th December 2017)

##### Languages

##### Two new languages were adding to the game this patch! You can now play
the entire game in:

* Korean!
* Simplified Chinese!

##### Gameplay

* Focus firing units on top of warrens is much easier now
* Melee units surround enemies much better
* Toads no longer derp out on their way to their targets
* Ranked matchmaking now goes through the entire search once with the Far filter, and then if no matches are found, it runs through it again with the Worldwide filter. This will result in longer queue times but fewer bad connections, which was necessary as we expect an influx of Chinese and Korean players.

##### Balance Changes

* Lizard - 2 Range, 8 HP (from 1 Range, 11 HP). No longer hit barbed wire. Yes, I finally relented. Everyone’s favorite range 2 lizard is back. FML
* Mole - The headliner of the event. They are now 15 HP, 4 DMG + x2 DMG to structures (from 25 HP, 2 DMG, no crit). This makes them less effective at killing early game pigs and far less effective as mid-game tanks, but they are now a constant threat vs your structures. Players can sell off their structures and invest in moles at a moment’s notice and push in on your stuff. They will go from being an early game threat to being an ALL game threat!
* Toad - Dmg reduced to 8+2AOE (from 9+3AOE)
* Pigeon - They were listed as healing 2 HP per second, but were only healing 1 per second. This is fixed. They now heal 2 per second.
* Chameleon - 35 HP from 40 HP
* Snake - Last week I accidentally nerfed them to 30 HP, they are back to their intended 35 HP.

* FIX: Nectars added to the prologue to eliminate the bug with unequipping your skill.
* FIX: Arena keeper dialogue Forged in the Crucible quest was charging extra money without it being written in text, so player got confused when they could not start match properly.

Patch 1.1 (04 November)

Patch 1.1 (04 December)

As with everything, GOG is consistently inconsistent, having on the one hand titles like "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" and "The Flame in the Flood", and on the other hand titles like "Chaos Engine, The" and "Labyrinth of Time, The".
MaGog is a search engine and using a search engine is easier when the user knows what to expect from it, which is more likely to happen when things are consistent. MaGog therefore attempts to fix some of GOG's more annoying inconsistencies, among them making sure that no title begins with an article (the, a, an), always moving these to the end (as in "Real Texas, The").

Patch 1.500 RU Hotfix (06 December 2017)

* Instant death effects like Gambler’s “Snake Eyes” dice roll will no longer work on champions. Instead, they will lose 50% of their current Health.
