** When Quel'thalas was introduced in ''Warcraft II'', it was depicted as a snowy place, probably due the fact that it was in the northernmost part of the continent. However, when it appeared again in ''III'', it was instead depicted as green and sunny, which had been its standard look ever since. Supplemental material stated that originally Quel'thalas had a much colder climate befitting its latitude, but elven mages enchanted the land into a state of perpetual springtime.

* BorrowingFromTheSisterSeries: '''Warcraft III'' takes several cues from ''[[VideoGame/StarcraftI]]'' for game mechanics:
** The Undead summon structures instead of building them, allowing Acolytes to perform other actions while the summoning continues, much like Protoss warping in structures. They can only build structures in Blight, which is spread by their structures, much like Zerg Creep.
** Night Elf Wisps get consumed when building an Ancient, like how Zerg Drones get consumed when building any kind of structure.
** The Orc faction overall takes cues from the Protoss, their units being more expensive, costing more Food but being stronger one-versus-one than equivalent units of the other factions.
** The Undead basic infantry unit is fast, fragile and has a late-game upgrade to considerably increase their attack speed, similar to the Zerg Zergling.
** The Night Elf basic infantry unit is the only one that is ranged, similar to the Terran Marine. Their secondary infantry units attacks at very close range (but not outright melee) and can damage multiple units with their attack, like the Terran Firebat.
** The Undead Shade is a permanently invisible scout, similar to the Protoss Observer. Both also require their own, dedicated building to allow producing them.

The ''Reforged'' version of the cutscene adds a wizard in the background animating a War Golem, whose arm falls off near the end of the cutscene. The golem picks up the arm and puts it back in place, only for the arm to fall off again as the cutscene fades to black.

I originally wrote the Adaptational Context Change example to be for Adaptation Induced Plot Hole, but I felt context change was probably the more appropriate trope. The Plot Hole example I think stands pretty strong though.
Added DiffLines:
* AdaptationalContextChange: In the ''Reforged'' version of "The Culling", the map is rebuilt and looks more like Stratholme in ''[=WoW=]'', and the map adds some MiniBoss encounters from the Caverns of Time instance, Meathook and Salramm the Fleshcrafter. In their original instance in ''[=WoW=]'', these MiniBoss encounters show up after facing several waves of enemies, but in ''Reforged'', they hide in the houses and spawn from them when the player reaches a key number of culled humans. The newly rebuilt level still has waves of Undead that will attack Arthas' base, so it is a big departure for them to be in the houses instead.
