Gameplay
- Gold: The gold gaining changed alot from the initial idea, players now gain 200 gold each round. Whenever a player kills another player, his whole team will receive 100 gold, the killing player will receive an additional 50 gold.
- Experience: During the initial tests using a older experience gain system, ranged and damage over time caster heroes had the upper hand. The current system creates a moonlight area in the center of the map every X seconds. The moonlight will grant heroes that stand inside it X experience per second. All heroes gain 300 experience at the end of each round.
- Rounds: Round systems have been finalized and last 5 minutes. For the new followers: Sanctuary of Champions revolves around quick rounds without creep slaying for gold and experience, each round lasts up to 5 minutes or until one team is completely wiped out, a 1 minute interval is held between each round, giving players the opportunity to purchase items and discuss strategies. Player 1 can decide how many rounds a team needs to win to win the game (Options are 5,10,15,20 and 25 rounds)
Heroes
Some weeks ago, I published a list of 48 models I will be using in future versions of Sanctuary of Champions. Due to the fact I can't possibly keep followers waiting until I single-handedly create 48 heroes, version 1.00 will only use 12 heroes (The other 36 will be added as soon as possible). Some of you might have played alpha versions and know some of these heroes, but all I can say is that version 1.00 will have loads of remakes. Here's the final list:
- Ancestral Warrior (Fighter / Assassin)
- Ancient Protector (Mage / Tank)
- Ancient of Wisps (Mage / Support)
- Arcane Sorceress (Mage)
- Archer of the Moon (Fighter / Ranged / Support)
- Bringer of the Scourge (Mage / Support)
- Dragon Whelp (Mage / Fighter)
- Lightning Warlock (Mage)
- Paladin (Support / Tank)
- Priest of the Light (Support)
- Pyromancer (Mage)
- Tauren Chieftain (Mage / Tank)

Terrain
Over the past couple of versions, the terrain of Sanctuary of Champions has changed alot. Some were too simple, some were to beautiful (which due to lag, is a problem as well). I decided to create a diagonal structure that uses more of the map's size. As you can see on the screenshots, the actual playable arena is pretty basic and smooth, while it's outlines have more details. This is the final terrain for version 1.00.
