#1The lizard faction has a new name: they're the Kethraki now. A handful of units, items and research across the game have new names too.
Nothing about how anything plays has changed. Stats are the same, and your saves and replays still work.
Names you'll see
- Kethraki: the Scaleling Worker, Skirmisher, Oracle, Skitter and Canoe, and the Tyrant Lizard
- Dwarves: the Runecarver, the Whirlwing, the Steam Juggernaut and the Deepholm Ranger
- High Elves: the Ember Guard
- Ratmen: Gnawstone, the glowing stone behind their blades, rounds and volleys
Lore, item names, loading tips, music titles and the card game have the new names as well.
The world has been getting its own names and history over the last few weeks, and this is part of that.
