Improved Visuals
There has been significant work done on creating brand new Biom textures for factions like Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon and Academy. The results are truly jaw dropping and you will notice them on adventure map as well as on battle fields:
Redesigned Vaults
Another major improvement is new set of vault encounters. We are talking treasure buildings like Dragon Utopia, Crypt, Elemental Stockpile and many many others. Visiting these now triggers a town siege (hello catapult) with uniquely designed army to protect it:
Tactical Duel Map
Finally, for people that love PvP, but have limited time to play, there is a new Tactical Duel Map specifically for you. It allows you to level up to L30, hire an army, buy artifacts and choose abilities in about 5 minutes. Getting you right away to the most exciting part of PvP: Final Fight.

I have to say, the visuals of the new battlefields are awesome. Each and every battle you fight is different, which is a welcome change over the OG game. However, I have to ask: how do you get those ultimates? Yes, the ingame description is clear, but the problem is, even when I fulfill the requirements, I have no option to choose those ulti skills, which is especially infuriating since the Frax Ulti would be such a good boon to have(especially if having Fortress troops).
