It is said that the new music will be implemented in the coming patches or so..

Feel free to share your thoughts on the new music here.

[Note: Inspired by a burst of nostalgia from playing Red alert 3.]

Right, rules are simple: Only change things from the past, no flaming.

Gameplay: First poster changes something in history. Second poster must say how the change affects modern life, and then posts his own change to history.. and so on and so forth.

I'll start: What if Walt Disney made the first porn films instead of children's cartoons?

Discuss strategies related to the Gladiator in this thread. If you want to make a guide for the Gladiator, please do so in the appropriate forum.

Discuss strategies related to Blood Chalice here.

Vulture Lord
- Removed armor aura

Nullstone
- Recipe price from 825 to 1000
- No longer reduces cooldown if hit by a spell while in cooldown

Steamstaff
- Damage increased by 2
* This means any item that uses a Steamstaff in some way was increased accordingly

Chronos
- Fixed Curse of Ages level 2/3/4, it will now properly stun and reset charges
- Curse of Ages now counts "down" in charges rather than up, always stunning when no charges are left

Gauntlet
- Fix to make sure when gauntlet activates Infernal Instability while the glove is in midair it works properly after it's return and can still go off

Glacius
- Ally-freeze through Ice Imprisonment damage reduction from 20/40/60/80 to 20/30/40/50%

Gladiator

Rampage
- Fixed the instant death bug

Version 1.0.5
-------------
General

- "Report A Player" added
* Upper left on the System Bar, ! symbol
* Fill out the form to report another player for inappropriate actions
* False reporters will be punished

- Tons of tool tip updates and fixes
- Fixed a bug allowing :PostHaste: Post Haste to teleport to couriers. Post Haste can teleport to player owned pets, such as War Beast's wolves
- Gave Vulture Lord's second ability an icon (means the aura no longer displays a black and white checkerboard)
- Stores will no longer remove the 'can buy from me' state if you or a courier goes invulnerable
- Decreased in-game font size slightly
- Added a new message when the courier is killed by a non-hero unit, it will now show a minimap ping along with the appropriate game message indicating which team the courier was killed by

- Fixed an issue where players would add a chat channel to auto connect to upon startup, and then later be unable to remove this channel from their list because they were banned from the channel. Players attempting to join channels they are set to auto connect to and are also banned from will have that channel automatically removed from their list if they attempt to connect to the channel they are banned from
- Pressing the "Alt" key (or whatever key the player has defined as chat_gameLobbyChatToggle) when in the game lobby will no longer toggle the chat type like it used to. It now must be held down and used in conjunction with the enter key, or with the mouse click of the "Send" button
- Fixed a Mac/Linux crash
- Fixed issue preventing players from selecting a potential hero during the banning phase.
- Disconnected players will no longer random when it becomes their turn to pick, unless they run out of time.
* Disconnected players are not allowed to use "extra time" in BP mode (if it is their turn, and they are disconnected, then they will pick their potential hero or a random hero)
- Fixed an issue in duplicate hero mode where if two players had the same hero "potentially" selected, only one would get it and the other would random

- News is hidden when choosing to follow a player
- The client will no longer display a message indicating the player will get a leave for disconnecting if they are in a replay or a practice game
