channelrange=" is the string in files

[[AOWL]SmurfinBird]

I haven't found anything, but my guess would be the maximum cast range of a channelled spell is the leash range of it.

Incorrect.

[BigBoss00]

Leash range is the distance required to break the channel. Maximum cast range is Cast range.

Is there by any chance a List of Base Attributes / Attribute gain for all heroes?
I remember seeing one some time ago but I cannot find it now that I need it :<

Cheers

This is actually one of the few places where the HoN website gives easy to access info:
http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/heroes.php

Just hover over the hero and you can see all the stats and gains on the right. If you wanted a list (perhaps sortable?) then I'm afraid that does not exist (yet).

I just looked into the gamefiles, i saw that Aluna's attackcooldown (BAT) is also lower then normal (1550, normal = 1700)
You could add it to the first post

Originally, Aluna was the second fastest BAT. There was then a nerf that moved her from a carry based on solo lane domination and autoattacks to a semi-carry for lanes and a safe lane solo. There has since been a minor buff that puts her BAT in the middle, among other small changes. At the time of writing this document, the information was accurate; worth posting to remind EU though

Coins Earned per match needs update, esp game a day and social bonus.

QUESTION: What are the differences between normal mode and -em?
Answer: In -em (easy mode) you gain 50% more experience, the towers are weaker and you gain 2 gold every 0.875 seconds instead of the normal 1 gold every 0.875 seconds.

QUESTION: What's the miss % chance uphill?
Answer: 25%

Have either of these changed? I cannot remember if "Easy Mode" is around still and whether miss chance is still 25% or 33%.

Is there a guide on turn rate with the turn rates including the latest EA heroes ?

If I remember correctly, miss chance was removed in EM

Not quite my question, but isn't Easy Mode no longer in HoN and instead replaced by Casual Mode?

Has miss chance changed in the normal game? (from 25%)

Not that I am aware of... I think it is still 25%

May we please have the BAT updated? Aluna, Pebbles etc.

[[S2]ElementUser]

I'll have time after tomorrow to do that if you want via a spreadsheet
