Update to 1.13:

There's a chance that the update breaks running games. So I recommend to delay updating until these maps are finished if possible.


FEATURES

The skill selection allows now more combinations. Heroes can choose to forgo a tier 2 subskill for taking the remaining tier 1 skill instead or alternatively replace a tier 3 slot with a second tier 2 skill. For example an Amazon player that takes Biology Expert as tier 2 subskill can still get Animal Disciplin by taking it as tier 3 skill.
