Editing Cut content trivia

== Armageddon's Blade ==
In the original unreleased [[Armageddon's Blade (Campaign)|Armageddon's Blade]] campaign, the artifact was supposed to be found by [[Gelu]] in one of the [[Ancients|Ancients']] vaults, the Varn 1904 Vault, destroying the Heavenly Forge and any evidence of the [[Forge|Forge's]] existence with it. This is in fact hinted by the artifact's message when finding it on the adventure map, which wasn't changed and remained the same as the old one.

== Goblin==
In the lore itself, the goblins (and hobgoblins) are aliens. Their blood is also green.
In one of the {{ab}} teasers, the goblins were shown having bows in their hands. The reason for that is because the teaser animations were already done and were supposed to show a [[Forge]] goblin instead, which used pistols. However, due to fan backlash, they had to change the [[Forge]] creatures into "regular" creatures, and so the teaser became somewhat off-topic with ranged [[Goblins]], a [[Minotaur]] and an [[Ogre]] guarding the so-called Varn 1904 Vault where the [[Armageddon's Blade (artifact)|Armageddon's Blade]] was kept.
Their Forge equivalent was going to be called Grunt and its upgrade Foot Soldier, being a level 1 troop.

== Minotaur ==
In one of the {{ab}} teasers, the Minotaur was shown together with an electricity-shooting [[Ogre]] and ranged [[Goblins]]. The cause for this was because the teaser was supposed to include the [[Forge]] version of these creatures, the Minotaur bearing a jetpack on his back and the [[Ogre]] a rocket launcher or bazooka. However, due to fan backlash, they had to change the [[Forge]] creatures into "regular" creatures, and so the teaser became somewhat off-topic with ranged [[Goblins]], a [[Minotaur]] and an [[Ogre]] guarding the so-called Varn 1904 Vault where the [[Armageddon's Blade (artifact)|Armageddon's Blade]] was kept.
Their [[Forge]] equivalent was going to be called Jump Soldier and the upgrade Jump Trooper, level 5 troops.

== Naga ==
The [[Forge]] equivalent of the Naga and Naga Queen, a level 6 Naga troop whose lower half was a tank and the upper part naked, was going to be called Tank and its upgrade Heavy Tank. It was also supposed to cost special resources and most probably bear stats similar or close to a level 7.

== Ogre==
In one of the {{ab}} teasers, the Ogre was shown shooting a beam of energy from his club towards a [[Dendroid]]. The reason for that is because the teaser animations were already done and were supposed to show a Stinger or Bruiser instead, the [[Forge]] version of the Ogre, which bore a rocket launcher or Bazooka. However, due to fan backlash, they had to change the [[Forge]] creatures into "regular" creatures, and so the teaser became somewhat off-topic with ranged [[Goblins]], a [[Minotaur]] and an Ogre guarding the so-called Varn 1904 Vault where the [[Armageddon's Blade (artifact)|Armageddon's Blade]] was kept.
The Ogre in one of the {{ab}} wallpapers is in fact a Stinger or Bruiser (the [[Forge]] level 4 troop), disarmed and defeated by [[Gelu]]. You can also see the laser-pointer of one of them in a wallpaper featuring [[Mutare]] in [[Dragon|dragon-form]].

== Rust Dragons ==
In the [[Rust Dragons|campaign's]] prologue, a [[Rust Dragon]] sitting on something that looks like a [[mine]] can be seen. However, that is not the entrance to a mine, but to an [[Ancients|Ancients']] vault, the Varn 1904 Vault, where the [[Armageddon's Blade (artifact)|Armageddon's Blade]] was originally supposed to be found in the original [[Armageddon's Blade (Campaign)|Armageddon's Blade]] campaign, which would have featured the [[Forge]] as the opposing faction.

== Zombie ==
As a "gift" from the [[Necromancers]], the [[Forge]] was able to create its own zombie troops, the level 2 Cyber-deads and Cyber-zombies. The base unit had only a single regular chainsaw instead of a hand, while the upgrade was going to have 2 circular saws instead of both arms.
