How would you revive your favourite dead IP?

So, the Warcraft IP isn't dead but the RTS series is and Warcraft 4 is a great candidate for a hypothetical game since the real one would never happen and probably be underwhelming if it did.

• So first of all: The ability to port over custom games from Warcraft 3. Basicly impossible, but it would make the game an instant success since you could get the custom game community onboard.
• More races. I know competetive players are scared of an RTS with too many races, but for regular play it's fun to have more options and the Warcraft universe has expanded so much since then. If you were adding two I would probably go with Blood Elf for the Horde and either Draenei or Dwarf for the Alliance, but I'm tempted to add even more like the infamous Naga.
• Story is where it gets tricky but I honestly believe a reintepretations of the first few Wow expansions (Vannila to WotLK) is the way to go. That's basicly the strongest part of Wow's story (along with elements from Cata and Legion) and since current Wow has turned into wild fanfiction I think cementing the good parts as a campaign in a single-player game is a great idea.
• Finally there's some very obvious stuff with QoL, more than 12 units selectable and visible control groups and personally I would also like to see Upkeep reduced or reworked. You can take a lot of inspiration from StarCraft 2, but don't take it as far as they eventually did by starting you off with crazy many workers just to shorten the games.
