6.40 Change log
===============

* Two new items, the Ironwood Log and the Boots of Backdoor <-- !?

* Courier Chicken and Roshan models switched

* -em removed

* Every mod now has an invisible frog named after them

* Buffed Damage on Divine Rapier to 500, but now drops if attacked by the enemy <-- lol.

* If Roshan gets killed every hero in a 2000 aoe will get bacon in their inventory

* Roshan now patrols between the rivers now and then

* Reworked Hand of Midas and Helm of Dominator, both are now able to cast on trees

* Dagon now gives an extra 5 damage when upgraded (hopefully this will encourage players to upgrade Dagon)

* Typing -newbie will show you a full list guide and strategy for the hero you are playing

* Typing -aion/-aioff will toggle the fully automated ai system for your hero (thanks to Cloud_str), useful for afking, laziness, or player incompetence

* Lich is now a melee hero

* Techies is now a strength hero

* Clinkz strafe reworked: when in strafe, every time clinkz attacks, he has a 30% chance to stun himself and deal himself 80 damage <-- the funniest of all!

* Geomancer is now compatible with the scepter (scepter enables his spawns to share all items) <-- godlike.
