The hack raises the difficulty of the game. To compensate the difficulty, it balances the units and adds better strategic options for them. The hack is recommended for experienced players who understand the game mechanics. Unexperienced players may not enjoy the difficulty.

The units don’t need money to upkeep or to deploy. However, cities don’t give money as well. Without the cities monetary support, the ability to buy items is limited. Unlike the original game, the player can’t buy large amounts of restorative items without going bankrupt.

The enemies formations were changed or updated and they are more challenging. The player needs to know the game mechanics and to think strategically with the intent to destroy effectively the enemy groups. If the player doesn’t kill all enemies in the group, the remaining enemies will retreat and the enemy group will be fully healed. The enemies groups will effectively respawn forever until the entire group is killed.
