Map Changes:
In many cases the mapchanges are small and this isn't the main feature of SnEj Mod.
Very large changes are marked with R(edone), the others with C(hanged).

    * Act 1 Town, C
    * Graveyard, R
    * Tristram, R
    * Inner Cloister, C
    * Cathedral, C
    * Catacombs Lvl 4, R
    * Act 2 Town, C
    * Claw Viper Temple Lvl 2, C
    * Arcane Sanctuary, R
    * Duriels Chamber, C
    * Act 3 Town, C
    * Durance of Hate Lvl 3, R
    * Act 4 Town, C
    * The Chaos Sanctuary, C
    * Act 5 Town, C
    * Throne of Destruction, R
    * The Worldstone Chamber, R
    * There are all four directions in Tower Cellar Lvl 5
    * The act 1 caves do only have a treasure level, which are a bit larger than the original ones
    * In act 1 there ist the Uber Dungeon, which has 4 levels. You should not enter it before you killed Baal!
      In this dungeon there are completely new monsters, which are much stronger than the ones you meet in the normal game
      and at the end there is a very strong new boss! (!)
    * You can find a dungeon called 'Hellfire' in act 2 with monsters adapted from Diablo I
    * There's a new 11-level-dungeon in act 5 (replaces Nilathak's dungeon). 
    * Now you can enter Halls Dungeon level 11, so you can reach Nilathak. C 

Other Game Balance:

    * Experience loss after dying changed
    * The map is automatically regenerated when you enter a single player game, too - which can be good or bad of course
    * It's really dark in caves now, which may improve the game atmosphere and makes + light radius items more useful.
      You can compensate this effect by using torches and + light radius items
