• There are no plans to add a 5th playable race to multiplayer.
• The 12 unit selection limit will not be increased in multiplayer.
• An Observer Mode with a zoom-out feature is coming.
• Balancing is hard - they admit they've made some mistakes in 2018, when balancing they're looking at how the game feels and make changes on a case-by-case basis, trying to preserve race uniqueness and ensure that both pro-players and casuals have an enjoyable experience.
• Overall they feel like the balance is in a pretty good place, but some issues still need to be adressed (like Turtle Rock close spawns).

• Heroes will have a special health bar to make them stand out a bit more.

• All named heroes (from the campaigns) will have their own models.
• All unit models will be unique.
• In total there are over 2200 new models.
• UI and menus aren't final.
• Classic chain sounds and UI elements remain in the client.
• They're keeping the original unit voice overs.
• There's some new music being added to Reforged.

5. Campaign and story:
