First the Undead Scourge's corruption and then the Burning Legion's invasion has left the Alliance of Lordaeron decimated and torn apart. Former Human and Elven Kingdoms now lie in ruins, roamed by horrific undead creatures, with major cities left under the iron fist of the Dreadlords' reign. To make matters worse, betrayal and discord has struck the Alliance from within, with treacherous Blood Elves conspiring with inhuman beasts and taking arms against their Human and Dwarven brethren. Despite the overwhelming odds, dispersed groups of resistance continue their desperate struggle. Even though the chances of victory seem to diminish with every comrade lost, it is said that even in the darkest of times a new hope may emerge from where you least expect it...

  • MAIN CHARACTERS:
327824-2b093c93fbe178d563ac5e8fac29c44e.png
Colonel Reynart Alinthor – a battle-hardened veteran officer of the Alliance of Lordaeron. Following the footsteps of his father, a humble old soldier nobilitated for his valiance in the Second War, Reynart dedicated his life to military service. Having lost his family, friends and far too many comrades to the Scourge, he ended up as a second-in-command of one of the last Alliance bastions in the northern realms – the ruins of Dalaran. Although his quick promotion to colonel came rather out of necessity when higher ranking officers one by one fell to the Scourge, he is a capable leader and experienced tactician who commands with deep care about his troops and determination to keep them safe against all odds.

327822-6f3f6e8bae73f869b65eaea79a44f060.png
Ranger-Captain Inaylia Aequath – a sole survivor of an orcish massacre in the Second War, Inaylia was taken, raised and trained by High Elven Farstriders from Quel’Thalas. Under guidance of Ranger-General Sylvanas Windrunner she began training a new elite unit of Alliance marksmen and assassins later to be known as Lordaeron Rangers. Consisting of trappers, hunters, former convicts and mercenaries, the Rangers were meant to perform black ops beyond Alliance’s military hierarchy… and free of moral doubts of paladins, knights and priests. Once the Scourge came, Rangers’ resourcefulness, ruthlessness and proficiency in guerrilla warfare made them an invaluable asset in the Alliance’s dwindling military under Grand Marshal Garithos. Distrustful and cold, focused and determined, hardened by difficult past and haunted by it, Inaylia values thinking outside the box and applying any means necessary to survive in a hostile world that surrounds her.

327821-7247f8c786c50d35abdbc41b26861d4d.png
Eldin Tharennas – former priest of the Light and a skilled mage from Quel’Thalas, Eldin quickly became dissatisfied with existing schools of magic. Although his primary focus remains on the Light, he used to experiment with other types of magical energy and interact with them on very low level, leading to extraordinary results. His talent was quickly noticed by a certain Kirin Tor Archmage who has put it to much better use than service to the Church of Light…

327825-09f875ca5df5cdcc03aaa73fe69e7348.png
Solymus Kangard – a mysterious, proud, stubborn and eccentric Archmage of the Kirin Tor whose actions have always been well hidden beyond the veil of secrecy. Although Dalaran corridors held rumours about highly controversial experiments he undertook in his early career and Kirin Tor councils regularly witnessed quarrels between him and Archmage Antonidas, his real activities remained known only to Kirin Tor’s inner circle and his deep and subtle influence upheld by a network of spies and contacts remained unquestioned. Soon after the First War he withdrew from public to focus on his private projects. Official reports indicate he returned to the Kirin Tor during the Third War and was eventually overwhelmed and killed by the Scourge in the Siege of Dalaran. However, is it possible that his role in the tides of history is not yet complete?

327823-8b71cba36c2dd4796c1500ba05d939f7.png
Margoth Leitenhove – impoverished Alteraci nobleman, one of the many whose lives fell into ruin after their king was deposed by Alliance forces in the Second War. Now the tides have changed, former oppressors of Alterac struggle to survive themselves and the remnants of the fallen kingdom, reunited within the Syndicate, fight for their own place in a devastated world. Impulsive, reckless and hot-tempered, lacking discipline, but definitely not foolish, Margoth must use all of his skill to keep his people in check, hold the Scourge at bay and maintain his position against greedy and powerful warlords at the court of prince Aliden Perenolde.

327826-0ce380227e448e04f4ca09db52f59a3f.png
Valena Isgair – Archnecromancer of the Cult of the Damned and one of the top apprentices of Kel’Thuzad himself, Valena is deeply and unconditionally devoted to her master. She played a pivotal role in gathering cultists and distributing infected grain among the townsfolk of Lordaeron in the early stage of Scourge incursion and she kept the Cult in one piece until her master was resurrected by Arthas Menethil. As new powers strive for domination over ruins of Lordaeron, Valena acts in the shadow to uphold his master’s agenda and secure his best interests against any foe. Wielding a wide range of both ice and necromantic spells, she is an opponent not to be underestimated.

But in order to prevent it from going invincible mode with instantly replenishing armies, on Normal difficulty unit training loop has now much bigger interval, so even if enemy armies and garrisons are strong, but they don't rebuild quickly. On some maps it is also balanced by replenishing AI resources with longer intervals.

  • Garithos should no longer get stuck having returned with the dwarves
  • Strengthened Balnazzar's attack waves and added some demons to them
  • Removed Balnazzar's Earthquake on Hard due to FPS drops and because he has tons of fuck-you to cast anyway

  • Increased level of enemy heroes and gave them some items
  • The Ogres are using upgrades now

Chapter Nine:

Chapter Ten:

Skills:
- Shockwaves, War Stomps, Thunder Claps and Empowered Strikes (Thardis) replaced with terrain deformation-free version that shouldn't cause lags on weaker computers

  • Fixed Eldin's spiritual healing to actually work on living units

  • Translated some Polish texts that were missed before, mostly in unit and skill descriptions
  • Unified color of main heroes as well as Rangers throughout the chapters
  • Fixed pathing on several maps, like too wide bridges or holes in the pathing enabling you to enter an unwalkable area
  • Lots of small fixes, too small to list...

  • KNOWN ISSUES
- Sometimes there is a lag in the middle of combat. I couldn't figure out why. But so far nobody else reported that, so it may by my local issue.

REFORGED ONLY:
  • Loading screens are displayed in incorrect resolution and there's a Reforged faction icon in the wrong place
  • "Play music with offset" e.g. in Chapter Two cutscenes plays it from the start
  • Some non-playable/rare units were left with broken portraits. It was not worth the effort to recreate all of them. But all playable ones are fixed
  • Some replaced tiles are displayed incorrectly - it could be a problem only on HD/classic HD, so we recommend playing on SD
  • Some units, abilities and upgrades use wrong hotkeys
  • One person reported a problem with invisible or untargetable units after loading a save on SD - but so far I couldn't reproduce it
  • After loading a save sometimes music stops playing

  • DISCLAIMER:

Please do not edit the campaign and the maps without our permission. Do not rip assets from campaign file and respect the authors of them. If you don't know who made asset you want to take, feel free to ask.

It's highly recommended to play on Warcraft 3 1.31.
The campaign is playable on Reforged 2.0, but you can encounter issues (see above). On Reforged we recommend playing on SD (NOT HD or Classic HD).


  • WHY THERE ARE MULTIPLE CAMPAIGN FILES:
  • If you want to start from the beginning, download the default ExodusTheVioletGate file.
  • If you were in the middle and want to continue on newer patch, download file ExodusTheVioletGateAllChaptersUnlocked.
The only difference between those two files is the initial visibility of the maps. Your heroes stats and items are stored in a Game Cache, so they will be available on the new version. However, you will no longer be able to load your previous save files.
  • And if you prefer playing with Chinese subtitles, you can pick ExodusTheVioletGateCN - Chinese translation provided by @NovaLan

  • LOCALIZATION HISTORY:
  • English (original) version
  • [2023.04.03] Added Chinese localization for version 2.01 provided by @NovaLan
  • [2023.04.10] Updated Chinese localization to 2.02 provided by @NovaLan
  • [2025.04.10] Updated Chinese localization to 3.05.1 provided by @NovaLan

Is map 11 supposed to be THIS hard? I'm playing on normal and while most maps required of me replaying them to adjust strategy, it never felt like I just can't win. With map 11 and I've been happily destroying outlying outposts of the enemy for 20 minutes and all seemed manageable... Until the biggest swarm of units I've ever seen in Warcraft came at me, I really can't think of anything I could do to beat that mass of flesh. Is this case of skill issue or 2.0 version causes AI to be hyper aggressive (I've had a couple of crashes and some weird floor tiles but otherwise it was fine).

I didn't notice AI behaving differently on Reforged than on 1.31, common.ai was the same as far as I remember. I didn't check on 2.0, but I also doubt so. I'll check it anyway.

Anyway, this map is hard, because you've got three overpowered heroes, all upgrades and lots of high tier units to compensate. Apart from AI attacks, there are three pretty big waves of enemies that are triggered to strike at a given time. Heroes' AoE skills, towers, gryphons and gunships' napalm dump are the key to countering huge masses of enemies, especially when they are stacked on the bridge or in other choke point. Also, dropships can quickly transport your heroes to where they are most needed.

Fair, I totally forgot about napalm- it should do really well against such a blob. Thanks for hint!

Nice Campaign, I had to play on reforged because not playable on 1.29 and I don't 1.30 or above version, I still had very few bug and probably most of them were due to reforged, I'll still list 2 of them :
-On Chapter 3, the long march, I feel like it's quite easy to bug it and it'll decide to stay on the initial spot and never move. Probably bodyblock triggers that. As I could make it work also perfectly, I don't think this is due to reforged.

-On chapter Eleven, sometimes the timer doesn't show when a trebuchet is appearing.


Globally nice story and characters, the biggest downside to me is that there is way too much "empty" discussion, not enough straight to the point. Usually, it is better to have small meaningful dialogues rather than long empty ones. I started to lose track of what was my goal in a few maps.

I would easily give a 9/10 though, great work !

PS : I liked the custom lines of heroes and units, they were great.

If you two don't mind me asking, is there like a discuss thread I can hop on over in order to check on how the development for the sequel's been going?

Due to irl reasons I haven't been keeping up much with the WC3 custom campaigns scene, including gems like this one, in the past year and a half and I'm finally getting back to that again this last week or so (after finally biting the bullet and getting Reforged cuz I lost my previous CD Keys) via playing all of the new stuff along with some oldies. And in the vein, I really wanna know both how his this particular campaign's changed and developed in that time and how far long the sequel is or isn't

Well, there's an Exodus sub-board and in particular this thread where we share all the important news:

Dev News and Updates

Fellow Warcraft 3 players and modders, Welcome to a subforum of our campaign series: Warcraft 3: Exodus. Yes, you got it right, there will be more upcoming campaigns that will follow and expand the story and characters from Exodus: The Violet Gate. Although the sequel is still in a very early...

The sequel is still quite far away, but we're finishing a big patch for TVG, including a new chapter and full AI voiceover.

Much appreciated, my good man

And new chapter, you say? Well now, seems I might have to hold off on the replay, then. Any chance there's a set release date for those?

One of the last bugs to fix before the big release - if anyone's got an idea, I'm all ears.

Replacing LordaeronTree's model - works in editor, but in-game with order or rally point

Hi, another "funny" problem for today. I replaced standard LordaeronTree model variations: imported them on paths: Doodads\Terrain\LordaeronTree\LordaeronTree0.mdx ... Doodads\Terrain\LordaeronTree\LordaeronTree9.mdx I think they worked before, but now something weird is happening: A...

Nah, we don't set strict release dates, they are too dependent on how much we're occupied with our daily lives. But I think we need about 2 more weeks.

It turns out we could have set this release date for two weeks from then. Exodus: The Violet Gate 3.0 is here! Enjoy!

EDIT: uploaded a small fix for Chapter Ten.

In fact 3.0 integrates some plots that Exodus 2 continues. This patch extends them on early post-TFT period. It's one of the reasons why we put new content into TVG - we want to make Act I more coorresponding with continuation of the story. Exodusverse vastly evolved during development of Exodus 2 and we cannot leave TVG behind.

One of previous patches was similar in this regard and focuses on Enclave matters. This one expands Margoth's story but also setups things for Alteraci in Exodus 2 and also potential further acts.

how long do i need to wait on mission 2? after balnazzar base destroyed, sylvanas send like 2 or 3 waves of attacks then no more. so I destroy the southern forsaken base and nothing happened. i use maphack cheat to check if I miss any units, but there is nothing left to fight.

There are four attack waves sent with quite short intervals (40-60secs or something). And their orders renew periodically, so they shouldn't get stuck anywhere.

Did you have waves with Varimathras and Sylvanas?
Did you have a dialog "okay, let's push east now"?
Did you destroy the red base before defeating Balnazzar? Of course you can complete these objectives in any order, but they are handled a bit differently, so knowing what you did may help me determine what went wrong.



EDIT: BTW, a question for those who already played some RTS maps: what do you think about enemy AI balance e.g. in Chapter Four? Doesn't it rebuild its defending units too quickly? I had several attempts to balance it properly so that it doesn't get stuck after losing a single structure like a standard AI, but on the other hand it doesn't become Arkain-style abomination with instantly replenishing armies. I was rather satisfied with the result, but I have a bias as a map creator, so feedback from other people with their own playstyles is welcome ;).

No, there are only two waves, and no heroes. I did destroy the red base first, so there is no push-east dialog. This might help. I loaded a saved game; maybe that broke something? I restarted the mission and played without saving, and everything went fine.

also a bit of random question, did you nerf the balnazzar attack wave? because garithos easily crush his base by the time I'm done with the red base. i noticed that balnazzar didn't even rebuild after each garithos's attack making this mission extremely easy in my opinion.

how does the outcast stun work? do they channel it or is it instant? because it is ridiculously long, can't see the effects and my armies get blasted again and again. they just chain stun my maxed out army in chapter 4 forever.

The new alteraci mission is such a breath of fresh air. Loved the in depth storytelling and the details
like the parrot learning new abilites if Margoth uses taunt next to it.
I can already see the upcoming campaign will be of highest quality and will be up there with my favourites like Arkain and The chosen ones

I still have some issues with Reforged regarding visuals and wrong talking portraits like Valena being a Lich in it. But, nevertheless, it's still buggy as hell and quite discouraged to use saves. I'm glad you still maintain it on 1.31.

I played only 2 missions by now: the first one was played before the new version, and the second one I played on the newest 3.0 version.
I can say that never saw that someone VOICED hints in CUSTOM CAMPAIGNS! It's immersive for players.
Looking forward to updating this review after finishing the whole story, but I already like it for such small yet cozy feature.

Okay, I re-tested this fragment, also with loading a save in the middle of Sylvanas attack waves, and everything went fine. I suppose loading a save can break active triggers in some strange edge case, but I don't know when exactly.

He has a scripted AI now, but its attack waves are very similar as before. Maybe its defence behaviour is now a bit different. But he definitely should rebuild, even after losing the Demon Gate.

It's instant, but its effect lasts only 2s, so it's meant rather to interrupt than to disable units from combat. As for visibility. I can give him a nicer fireball. Anyway, outcasts are unarmored, so Arbalists/Mortar Teams go brrr ;).

In which map? All variants of Valena were recreated, so they should have valid portraits.

Map 1. When I confront Valena for the first time, the talking portrait is a Lich when I played it in Reforged 2.01. The spectral bridge doesn't show also when I activate it, however the units can cross it.

Ehhh, I reproduced it and I have bad news. It's a problem with AI, already known to me since it happened in the sequel campaign (which is on Reforged) too. The enemy tries to send an attack wave, but nothing happens and after a few seconds the game crashes. No idea why this happens, since it is in Blizz's native code. I only know it's related to seeking out an attack target on the map. My workaround on that sequel map was to give AI "attack coordinates" order rather "attack player", but it's a last resort since then AI will stop attacking your expansions. I'll think about it.

EDIT: in the meantime, if you want to continue the campaign, "allyourbasearebelongtous" should be working in all missions and should save your heroes.

Nah, they have less HP on purpose. if you want more endurant units, train Footmen. Or Knights in later maps. Spearmen are second-line DPS units (although they are only minimally weaker than vanilla Footmen, and they deal higher damage, much higher against Heavy armor).

May I ask if anyone faces an issues with the syndicate campaign? For instance, after Margoth acquires his own base with another witch hero, in less than one minute, the whole Wc3 will crash with no error message.

Yes, unfortunately it happens on Reforged, it's an AI issue. I'm trying to figure out why it happens. In the worst case I'll prepare an alternate AI for Reforged. In the meantime you can skip the chapter with "allyourbasearebelongtous", it will transfer your heroes' progress mid-mission.

I mean, it happens on Reforged version of the game, no matter which graphics you choose. You'd have to play on 1.31 to avoid the crash. It can be downloaded here:

Patch 1.31.1 Backup Files

Greetings, After Warcraft III: Reforged launched, some people like myself either updated to the latest version by mistake or regretted doing so afterwards. Since Blizzard removed patch installers from Battle.Net, the option to go back to an older version was effectively lost. The purpose of...

but as far as I recall, you need a valid key for older WC3, I don't know if you can make it work if you only have Reforged.

You can track the progress of my struggle here :p:

[AI] - SuicideOnPlayer crashes the game on Reforged - only on some maps

Hey, here's a problem with AI on Reforged: AI script calls SuicideOnPlayer() It prepares an attack wave Debug shows the attack wave is sent and SuicideOnPlayer() is called - but no units from its base move After a few seconds the game crashes What I determined so far: It occurs on Reforged...

Truly an amazing campaign! Exodus (2010 edition) was already one of my favorites at the time, but The Violet Gate took it to another level.

I replayed the entire campaign with the last update, and it was incredible. The Alterac chapter was particularly interesting, and the new subplot was great too. However, it's a shame the new characters were cut off so abruptly in the last mission. I was honestly expecting a full cutscene about Hath’s brother, knowing his potential fate.

Can’t wait to see the next campaign!

By the way, what happened to Alfric? Did he survive? :cute:

Don't worry :]. Every cliffhanger is set for a reason. As I said earlier, 3.0 incorporates plots that further chapers will continue. We decided to backstrack and start some of the plots in TVG to have them more grounded in the next chapters.

As for Alfric, he survives TVG and I can confirm that he will reappear in the story.

Well, Faranell and Aedale were not there mostly for balance reasons. Having six heroes fighting Kel'thuzad would be totally OP ;). So we made them withdraw earlier. But rest assured, they have their big roles planned for the sequel.
