• The developers enlarged the map by 40%;
• Significantly changed its landscape;
• Introduced 12 new neutral creep camps;
• Changed basic game mechanics;
• Significantly changed the abilities and characteristics of the characters, and some of them were moved into a separate category of "universal heroes";

• Many special objects and zones have been added to the map;
