You can select one hero from 22 heros. Each hero has 1 own active skill + you can select two power skills from 8 power skills, skills that needs mana. Then you can select 1 custom offense active skill from 24 offense Active skills, and 1 custom support skill from 20 support skills. during game you can select 5 passive shop skills!!. (about 6 000 000 000 skills combinations HEHE). Normal and custom skills dont need mana, so there is more casting fun in the game, but Power skills needs mana, some are stronger...

You can also upgrade your hero for lumber... (speed, life, armor, damage, mana... and more)

47 recipes(combo items) = items that are needed to be built into more powerful items. +about 60 normal items. Nearly every item has ability. PLUS NEW droping items during fights = small items that give life, mana, gold or lumber..

Modes like -all pick, all random, rampage, super hero gold, super start... and 20! more. Sounds for killing units (double kill, first blood...) bonuses for killing heroes - ownage...; Extra Runes to be found or gold chests. Massive creep system where you find many computer creeps easy to kill, so lot of fun...

Self attribute/stats choosing: for every level you get 1 point to primary attribute, but you can also choose 4or more(depends on level) points on your own for every level up. More complex attribute system: for every 5 points in agility = + extra speed, every 5 points in intelligence + damage, +improved summoned units, and more others... Nice NEW snow terrain - small and great with NEW RPG part with ogres and sorrow knight.

Also modes that you can turn off these specialities like stats choosing or upgrades, or custom skill choosing - and it will be like typical aos/dota.
