Here we see the hero Marn Magesinger the level 9 ArchMage leading a group of humans to the neutral Observatory building, where 4 ogres (friendly by the looks of it) are waiting.

The best thing about this shot is that there are Steam Tanks!! Yes!! That means they are back in the game, but unfortunately, it probably also means the Dwarven Mortar Team has been taken out. This is only a guess but I would suggest having two seige units on the same team is not such a great idea.

There are two Steam Tanks in this shot, and also present is a group of nine Riflemen. The ArchMage is in the middle of summoning forth a Water Elemental (which was previously a sorceress spell), looking down at the ArchMage's spells, we can also see he has a blizzard spell, and the ArchMage's ultimate spell - Mass Teleport. Strangely, one of the four Ogres is about twice the size of the other three, could he perhaps be a hero? I doubt it, it looks like he has somehow managed to use the grunt's ability to grow. Perhaps the Ogres now have this ability and the Grunts don't.
