6.33 Changelog:
===============
* Added two new items
* Reworked/Improved Bristleback, Avernus and Mercurial
* Many code improvements
* New map preview picture by Artgerm
* Improved the game mode entering system. Modes are now entered on one line like "-apidsh" or "-dm -ar -sc". You do not need to worry about the order you enter the modes in, the game will handle it or warn you (and give you another chance) if the mode is incorrect/incompatible.


* Renamed shortmode to -easymode(-em)
* Added -samehero (-sh) mode
* Reduced Lycan's wolves' model size a bit
* Some -dmar hero respawn optimizations
* Reworked Mekansm a bit. It now has a larger aoe and buff duration but the heal only occurs if you have no previous Mekansm buff on you (so you can't mass spam it on a team).
* Furion's Teleportation now creates the same casting effect on the target location.
* Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse total cost is the same, but 800 of the 900 recipe cost is now in Eul's Scepter of Divinity.
* Last Word will only work if Silencer is not silenced
* If blue isn't playing, the next available color will be allowed to enter the game mode.
* Restored a more functional -du mode
* Improved Viper's base damage a bit
* Enchant's duration when converting creeps is now increased
* Buffed Weaver's Watcher movespeed
* Fixed some neutral creeps and beastmaster's summons that had collision size pathing issues.
* Fixed a Timelapse casting delay
* Many tooltip fixes from Henri Langenhoven's reports

* Reduced Primal Roar's manacost and cooldown
* Improved timing on Macropyre
* Reduced Lich's attack range from 600 to 500

Hero Remakes
Bristleback - only Goo didn't got changed.
Quill Spray - Sprays quills over 700 AOE. Deals extra 30 damage everytime a unit is struck by a quill in 10 seconds. Has about 3-4 seconds cooldown. The animation now works like the Warden's Fan of Knives in ladder.

I *think* that it does this:
Quill Spray #1, lvl 1 - does 30 damage
You used Quill Spray again, and the same target recieves it - does 30 + 30
You used QS for the 3rd time - does 30 + 30 + 30

Lvl 1 - 30 direct damage. 30 stacking damage. 30 Mana Cost
Lvl 1 - 50 direct damage. 30 stacking damage. 35 Mana Cost
Lvl 1 - 70 direct damage. 30 stacking damage. 40 Mana Cost
Lvl 1 - 90 direct damage. 30 stacking damage. 45 Mana Cost

Bristleback - Reduces damage taken from the rear. Automatically release a Quill Spray whenever his rear takes 200 damage.

Warpath (Ultimate) - Activates everytime you cast a spell, and stacks 4 times.
Lvl 1 - 30%IAS, 5%IMS + 5%IAS, 1%IMS
Lvl 2 - 40%IAS, 7%IMS + 10%IAS, 2%IMS
Lvl 3 - 50%IAS, 10%IMS + 15%IAS, 3%IMS


Spectre (Mercurial) - changed title from Avatar of Vengence to Spectre, all skills has been changed in a way.
Spectral Dagger - Throws a Dagger that trails a Shadow Path. Deals damage in a row. Units hit by the dagger will also trail a Shadow Path. Spectre becomes phased (zero collision) while on the path.
Lvl 1 - 5% Movespeed gained, while enemies loses 5% movespeed. Deals 50 damage.
Lvl 2 - 9% Movespeed gained, while enemies loses 9% movespeed. Deals 100 damage.
Lvl 3 - 14% Movespeed gained, while enemies loses 5% movespeed. Deals 150 damage.
Lvl 4 - 18% Movespeed gained, while enemies loses 5% movespeed. Deals 200 damage.

Vengance - Same as old one, but no Direct Vengance, and the KILLER is the one who'd get the damage.
Lvl 1 - 30 damage per creep, 50 per image, 100 per hero.
Lvl 2 - 45 damage per creep, 100 per image, 200 per hero.
Lvl 3 - 60 damage per creep, 150 per image, 300 per hero.
Lvl 4 - 75 damage per creep, 175 per image, 400 per hero.

Dispersion - Same as before, except that "Can only disperse for as much as max hp Mercurial has. Works on illusions. 400 AOE"

Haunt (Ultimate) - Creates an image beside the enemy hero. The image is uncontrollable, take 200% damage, deals 50% damage and each of them attack only it's pair. Cooldown decreases per level. Comes with Reality. No target, will activate once you click it.
Lvl 1 - Lasts 4 seconds.
Lvl 2 - Lasts 5 seconds.
Lvl 3 - Lasts 6.5 seconds.

Lord of Avernus - Removed Mark of the Abyss, changed Frostmourne a bit.
Death Coil - A coil of death that can heal an ally, or damage an enemy at the cost of his life. Manacost decreases per level.
Lvl 1 - 100 damage/heal, 50 damage to himself.
Lvl 2 - 150 damage/heal, 75 damage to himself.
Lvl 3 - 200 damage/heal, 100 damage to himself.
Lvl 4 - 250 damage/heal, 125 damage to himself.

Frostmourne - Mark of the Abyss got combined with Frostmourne. When you attack an enemy, it will gain the mark, and it will have it's movespeed decreased. The mark gives 20% MS to anyone attacking the target.
Lvl 1 - 10%IAS, 5% Slow
Lvl 2 - 20%IAS, 10% Slow
Lvl 3 - 30%IAS, 15% Slow
Lvl 4 - 40%IAS, 20% Slow
