* AdaptationalHeroism: As part of the BackportedDevelopment, the campaign takes the modern, more heroic characterisation of the orcs, and transplants it to ''Warcraft II'', when the orcs were still pure evil. The conversations between the characters show that although the Old Horde ''was'' an invading force of destruction, not all orcs were completely on-board with it, and some at least had some redeeming qualities. For instance, Utok Scratcher is shown to still respect the old shamanistic traditions of the orcs, and even Rend Blackhand seems to have some second thoughts about Fel corruption.

Because of this, heroes can now be actively used in battle instead of having to be hidden safely away from the front line while the player tries to complete the campaign without using them.
