- LORD 303 is released with the following changes:
-
- *"Negetive Strike" bug was fixed, instead of saying "You missed" in player
- battles, it would say how much you missed by, and add that much to your
- enemys hit points. This is the main reason this version was released.

- player will be informed instantly.

- LORD.DOCs.
