Personally, I don't see this as a replacement of a specific balance in the game with another balance. I see it as an opportunity, the so-called "open door of opportunity". What was missed for years, ignored by the Warcraft II community (due to habit, laziness, it doesn't matter) is the lack of balance between the races. Everyone knows this.
Many referred to the "canon" from the creators, arguing why there is no need to change the balance, and if they do change it, then they must agree with Blizzard and ask people's opinions. Well, Blizzard has already changed the balance themselves (without even asking people, but it's not that important to us, right?). And some people did not just accept these changes, but agreed that changes to the game balance are NECESSARY. This is really a problem. When some spells = garbage, when some units = garbage, when some upgrades = garbage with an inadequately high price.
That is why, personally, I will support the changes. Because this is a new step in the development of Warcraft 2. Turn off your emotions, and take a sober look: Blizzard can do whatever they want in their remaster. But their step allows us here on war2online to create our own NORMAL balance of the game. WITHOUT destroying the usual image of the game (for example, for the same orcs).
That is why, the balancing of the game must be approached with all possible caution. To begin with, as it was done in war2rebalance, I would suggest NOT CHANGING the orc race AT ALL. That is, not subjecting them to any changes at all. Because really now by 2k24 everyone has long been accustomed to playing for them in a very specific style.
I would suggest revising some points in the balancing of the human race.

And then, with slow steps, sooner or later we will come to an almost ideal balance.

As for this pack from Blizzard specifically... Personally, I was pleased with the reduction in the cost of upgrading archers. Because, I think everyone will agree, these upgrades are not worth the effort spent on them.
I liked the slightly stronger archers.
As for the rest, regarding bloodlust, mage casts - this is basically garbage. Understating the cost of birds is also bad. Etc.

What do I want to say? I would suggest convening an international council of active developers, admins and players in Warcraft 2 to discuss a variety of issues in the life of our game community. Over the past few years, and especially this month, fate has prepared many trials and events for us. It would be good to discuss them all and come to some kind of decision together. Thank you.
