## History

Ventoe War Zone 5.0 is a continuation of Ventoe War Zone Series, replacing its 2018 and 2019 predecessors. Internally, the first prototype of Version 5.0 was released on February 4, 2020. Additionally, Ventoe War Zone 5.0 is also known as Ventoe War Zone February 15, 2020 Edition or DOTA NT 5 (if CATV 95 decided to keep DOTA name). The latter name is combination of DotA All Stars' functionality with Windows 2000's in terms of version numbering scheme which meant that Version 5.x (5.1 is reserved for New Castle Age revision of Ventoe War Zone 5.0) was assigned to Ventoe War Zone 5.0, Versions 5.1 and Version 5.2.

One difference between Version 5.0 and its predecessors is an introduction of Warping Ritual. Amethyst Ritual (introduced as an early iteration in Version 4.0 and later backported to Version 3.5) was temporarily scrapped until Version 5.1.

The first service pack is split into two (between March 18, 2020 and April 6, 2020) in order to reduce to bloat that plagued Version 3.5 or earlier Ventoe War Zone versions.

Service Pack 2 (April 25, 2020) was released, adding more heroes and others.

Later service packs released between May 25, 2020 and August 5, 2020 also added more heroes and included over 1,500 bugfixes and enhancements.

#### Version 5.1

New Castle Age (Version 5.1) is a first revision of Ventoe War Zone 5.0. It serves as a base for original Enderman campaign.

#### Version 5.2

Power of Twenty (Version 5.2) is a second revision of Ventoe War Zone 5.0 released in late 2020. Like its predecessor, Enderman's expansions (except Grayback and Lotus Editions) were based on it rather than on Version 5.0 and Version 5.1.

It is the last version to work on Warcraft III running under Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 as its future service packs will not run or crash the game due to lack of superior memory management in all Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP 64-bit editions, despite having same version as Power of Twenty.

## Service Packs

### Service Pack 1

* New heroes, originally intended for this original version but later scrapped, were added in this 1st service pack.
* (VERSION 5.2-ONLY): This service pack added a Pyinmana-based individual who went on to make two minor appearances on YouTube.
