Version History

Balance Patch History
Version	Release	Balance Changes
1.36.1	2023-11-20	Keep increased food from 12 to 14.
1.17	2004-09-20	The experience bonus for having a single Hero and owning a tier-2 or tier-3 town hall has been increased to +15%/+30% from +10%/+20%.
1.13	2003-12-16	Militia can now only be created from a player's starting Town Hall, but they can still be created from any of the player's Keeps or Castles.
1.10	2003-07-03	Gryphon Aviaries now require a Keep instead of a Castle. However, both the Cloud upgrade and Gryphon Riders require a Castle to access. At tiers 2 and 3, a player who owns only one Hero (dead Heroes count) will gain bonus experience. This bonus is 10% at tier 2, and 20% at tier 3. This affects all experience gain--both from killing creeps and enemy units.
