Curse

Here's the sixth patch for SC2, which includes quite a few balance changes. This balance patch actually came out quicker than expected.  It wasn't even a week ago that Dustin Browder posted about balance change plans, and most figured it would be part of the next major patch for StarCraft II.  However, it looks like instead, they were all part of patch 1.1.2, which is now live. In addition, we were given a few bug fixes for some map from previous patches and for mappers. As always, you can check out SC2Mapster for Undocumented Editor changes, though i'm not sure how many we'll find this time around! For any Strategy related changes, you can head over to SC2Replayed.
