New Rules:

Spell Recovery Times

For a time, after a spell is cast, a hero may not cast another spell.

This time is a number of seconds equal to 1, plus the base mana cost of the spell

multiplied by the level of the spell and divided by 75.

So for a 30 mana spell, 5th in the spell list (level 5) this

would be 1 + 30*5/75 = 3.0 seconds.

For Heal Self,

this would be 1 + 1*8/75 = 1.11 seconds.

Hero Attack Speed

A hero’s attack speed is now based off of his DEX, not his MORALE.

Morale still affects all of his troops, but his own speed will be 1 second

less 0.02 seconds for every point of DEX over 10.

This may not go lower than 0.4 seconds.
