As I mentioned earlier today on the discord server and in an announcement on Steam, all your saves will be broken. The maps you made as well. If you want to recover your map, send it to me and I can recover it for you.

Warning : Tonight's update V.20 will break all earlier saves/custom maps.

I am making significant changes to heroes and unfortunately I can't make these changes without making big changes in my base code. If you absolutely can't lose your save/custom map for X reason, send me an MP, I will make case by case conversion. Sorry about that !
