The second new shot showcasing the brand new interface with the lumber counter included. This time we get to see the Orc's interface, even though it is actually the Night Elves (this is just because the Night Elf interface is yet to be implemented).

Here we have a Night Elven force making their way to a Gold Mine that they have their eye on. The group consists of four Archers (the ones with bows ;), a Druid of the Claw down the bottom who is transformed into his bear form and a Hero Keeper of the Grove called Califax. We also see the massive Tree of Life, which is the Night Elf equivalent of a Town Hall on legs, he is obviously heading towards the Gold Mine so that it may entangle it and begin "mining" the Gold from it. There are also two Wisp's hovering around aswell.

We get to see the powerful Keeper of the Grove's Regrowth spell in action here, which has the affect of making a whole heap of trees fall down, it seems to be taking out a dozen or so here, with the spell centred on the green flash of light in the middle of the screen. Behind the group of trees is a small group of Creeps, who already somehow seem to have been hit by the Night Elves, as their are two Ogre skeletons rotting into the ground. Only one Ogre and two Robber Gnolls remain.

Other things of interest are that Creeps now appear to be depicted in black on the minimap, we can also see the Keeper of the Grove's Regrowth spell icon, and he is also carrying a book of some sort (probably boosts Intelligence or some other such thing).
