Played the new patch this morning, all the changes are great. Love the new Lock graphic.

The increase in cleric health is great.

* Campaign/Level editor. Pick a map, and assemble your rounds, each with their own set of waves. Could more easily be something done outside of the game, even an XML or INI type input would suffice..
