Gameplay Features & Changes
North-South Conquest:

Most victory towns have been relocated
Various map layouts have been tweaked to better support the new Conquest orientation
NOTE: This is still a work in progress and more balances changes to the maps will come with 0.14
New Spawn Point Rules:
Spawn point is now preserved across border travel, which means that you can die after travelling and return to your previous Spawn Point regardless of which region it is in by selecting "Spawn At [Region]" from the death screen. We have modified some other rules to prevent "teleporting" without consuming a Soldier Supply.
Detailed Rules:
Spawn Point is no longer cleared after border travelling
Spawning at your assigned spawn point will always consume 1 Soldier Supply, regardless of if you died in that region and respawned or travelled from the Home Region
Spawn points are cleared when travelling from the Home Region to a region other than the one where your spawn point is set in
When travelling from the Home Region to the Conquest, a notification is now shown when you have consumed a Soldier Supply from spawning at a point OR if you fail to spawn due to insufficient Soldier Supplies

Players inside blocking foliage (eg. bushes in Heartlands) will be able to see players outside of the foliage within a certain distance
Players inside foliage can see each other when standing at point blank range of each other
The aim indicator can no longer be used to "scan" for other players inside foliage
