Balance & gameplay changes:
The king will now always aim at the closest enemy.
Defeating an enemy hero will now grant 1 Attacker Point. (20 points summons attacker, if a king kills an enemy units, it grants 1 point to the enemy team)
If the king defeats an enemy hero, it will not grant Attack Point to their team anymore.
To prevent too much turtling:
Ally units who are defeated inside an enemy base will now grand more gold to their own team when defeated. (100% instead of 65% of current gold value)
Every 5 ally units defeated inside an enemy base (except heroes) will give its hero commander 1 xp. (so 25 ally units defeated will give 1 full level)
When a hero is using a global active skill (such as Wizard's Time Stop or Frost Archer's Blizzard of Icewrack), it will cancel upon the caster's death.
Using an "attack" skill such as Mesmer's Charm or Arbalest's Explosive Arrow will also cancel if the hero is defeated before casting it. (previously, the next attack upon respawn would trigger the skill)
