Update v1.2.0

Time control The fixed turn timer has been replaced with chess-style time control. The time control in all Ranked games is now set to G/5+30 – i.e. each player in a Ranked game has 5 minutes of main time per game, with a 30-second increment each turn. Under this system, your time limit will increase if you make your turn in less than 30 seconds, and decrease otherwise. The player who runs out of time loses the game immediately. More time control options are now available in Custom game mode.

Castle Durability The Castles’ Durability is now shown as a number (was a health bar). The second player handicap has been increased to 2 Durability (was 1) to properly compensate for the first-player tower control advantage in an average Ranked game. More durability options are now available in Custom Mode. Ranked Mode uses medium durability.

Banishing heroes deals x2 damage to Castles If this option is active in Custom Mode, banishing a hero will deal twice as much damage to the Castle.
