Lore Summary

With the death of Theseus Glacus and the fall of Ironstead, the last true bastion of humanity on the mainland has finally fallen. The undead have defeated humanity, warped their dead, and taken their homeland. The once shining empire of Telebram, the pinnacle of human civilization, is now a festering graveyard.

However, hope still remains for the estranged refugees that fled with Chrigis to the islands of Jeb’thol. Months have gone by, towns have sprung up, and the undead have seemingly been landlocked on the mainland. But peace and prosperity are a fleeting sensation for the beleaguered survivors of the plague.

It started with rumors of shadows dancing around in the night on the outlying islands; tales from deep sea fishermen of decrepit, horrifying masses of flesh floating on top of the ocean, stories of makeshift boats manned by creatures beyond life.

These tales were all taken as farce, initially. But eventually the lies became truth. The survivors became comfortable, they thought themselves safe. They were wrong. Outlying towns became overrun with the undead, trade routes were disrupted, and terror was sewn throughout the network of refugees. Villagers began to realize that the apocalypse was at hand; that all hope was lost.

But Chrigis and the Border Guard remained steadfast. Now was not the time for tales of the end, now was the time to stay level headed and fight for survival. Walls and defensive fortifications were constructed around the port city of Lyon, the closest city to a capital among the refugees. Wave upon wave of decrepit, lifeless undead broke against the walls, the now veteran men who were defending seemingly dispatching the assailants with ease. For a time, it looked like Humanity was beginning to win.

But a damning realization came to Chrigis one evening. The mindless undead which constantly barraged the walls were a far cry from the cunning beasts who sieged Galenfar in the west and the Border Guard trade city of Stradford. These drones were not the full force of the undead, but the vanguard of an invading armada.

Gameplay Summary

Essentially, the object of the game is to eliminate the opposing team, not unlike WC3 melee. Each player takes to a goldmine, constructs buildings, and trains soldiers to fight against the other team.

There are aspects which make things a bit more interesting, however. Each human player has a choice of 3 unique races, each boasting their own playstyle and units. You have the Palonians, which focuses on ranged units, mages, and spells, the Border Guard, which focuses on strong melee units and healing, and the Human Alliance, which focuses on versatility.

The Undead also have two races. You have intelligent undead, which focuses on micro management and a more defensive playstyle versus aggressive undead, which focuses on mass and fast expansion and sheer brute force.

All in all The Plague 2 : Infected Isles is a fairly unique experience which can be played anywhere from a casual to a competitive level.






The human alliance is not one single nation, but a combination of the two once great empires of Telebram and Varenhil.

The nation of Palonia has always remained elusive to the humans of the world. Everything from the nature of their culture to the magic they use has baffled or downright inspired fear in humanity.

The Border Guard are the famed defenders of humanity. The ranks of this faction are filled to the brim with veterans of not only the Plague, but of the wars before that as well.

Infect. Consume. Expand. Evolve. Infect. Consume. Expand. Evolve. Infect. Consume. Expand. Evolve. Infect. Consume. Expand. Evolve. Infect. Consume. Expand. Evolve.

The intelligent undead are unique in that they retain their personalities and memories from life. They work off of their own intuition rather than instinct.

===========Unit Changes========

-Aggressive Undead-

Aggressive undead has a very powerful early game, yet their late and mid game always felt lacking. With these changes, Aggressive undead will have more variety and punch in the mid game, and they will be slightly slower in the early game.

=======================================================
-Increased the damage of the Acid Sprayer to 110 from 83
-Decreased the movement speed of the Acid Sprayer to 240 from 270
-Increased the damage of the Undead Marauder to 265 from 245
-Increased the Health of the Experiment to 2100 from 1950
-increased the hit point regen on the experiment to 2 from .5


-Increased the build speed of the Fleshworks to 40 seconds from 30 seconds.
-Increased the build time of the zombie to 6 seconds from 4 seconds

-Intelligent Undead -

Intelligent undead, like aggressive undead, had a bit too fast of an early game, yet their mid game lacked punch. With these changes, Intelligent Undead will have a bit more mid game strength and less early game dominance

============================================
-Increase the build speed of the Reanimation Hall to 40 seconds from 30 seconds
-Increased the build time of the Undead Warrior to 10 seconds from 8 seconds

-Increased the damage of the Cultist to 76 from 42

============STAT CHANGES=================

Agility was overall way too powerful as a defensive stat. Although this will nerf all heroes a little, it will primarily effect high agility heroes such as shamis and the night stalker.
=========================================

-Agility now gives .1 armor per point from .3

============HERO CHANGES=================
- Shamis -

Shamis was borderline unkillable with his stim and high agility, and his 6 second stun let him get the jump on any hero and almost guarantee a kill. Statistically, he'll have a lot more early game sustain and mana, but ultimately he will suffer a lot from this patch, much to the happiness of undead players I'm sure.

=======================================================
-Shamis now starts with 25 agility from 30
-Shamis now starts with 15 intelligence from 10
-Shamis now gets 7 agility per level from 9
-Shamis now gets 4 intelligence per level from 2

-reduced adrenaline rush speed to 50/60/70/80 from 50/75/100/125
-increased the cooldown of adrenaline rush to 60 from 30
-Reduced the duration of Assasins blade on heroes to 1/1.5/2/2.5 from 3/4/5/6
=======================================================

- Mage Praetor -

If you stacked mana on the mage in the previous version, his mana shield could make him WAY too difficult to kill. By changing this, he is a lot less tanky, and he relies more on health and less on mana

=======================================================
-Reduced the amount of damage absorbed by Mana shield to 75% from 100%
=======================================================

-Battle Mage -

Stacking damage and strength on the battle mage turns him into an army clearing machine due to his cleave. This should make him a bit easier to punish while keeping the strength of this hero's AoE power.
=======================================================

-Decreased the amount of splash damage Arcane Blade does to 15/25/35/45 from 15/30/45/60
-Decreased the AoE of Arcane blade to 150 from 200

=======================================


==========ITEM BALANCE CHANGES==============

-Decreased the attack speed on Zul'jeth's sword to 15% from 20%
-Decreased the damage on the Great Glaive of Alastan to 50 from 70

I would try re downloading it and putting it in it's own folder, you can also try shortening the name of the map in the folder it is contained in. Sometimes the name of the map causes it to not show up on the list of maps if it's too long for some reason. Sometimes when I randomly copy and paste a map it will fix it.

If none of these work than honestly I'm not sure what could be wrong.

Change folder name to !
That should let you load almost any map otherwise shorten the filename and use starting letter of each word. Example: P2II3.52

Either way file name should be short so no random problems occur.

There you have it, Dat-C3 always impresses with his knowledge of technical things.

I'm going to shorten the file name of the next major release as well, so it shouldn't be a problem after this.

So, this map is officially NOT for patch 1.26a. I tried even putting the map in it's own folder... doesn't work. I can't see the map in either it's own or any other map folder. Are you sure the map is made for 1.26a at all?

The map works on the latest WC3 version, however it's possible the name is too long. I never host it using traditional methods, only through the hosting bots on ENT since nothing else ever fills up so I haven't had that problem.

Can't be the name... i remember like, 10-15 updates ago... the name was still quite long, but i didn't have problems with the map. I was seeing it on single player and in multi player.

To quote the solution for someone who had the same problem :

Warcraft gets kind of weird sometimes, trust me. However I will shorten the name the next time I do a balance patch.

Wouldn't you like to know?

You have to be player 1 red too and type -casual mode. (without the period) This will 100% of the time enable secrets.

The attunement stones may not do what you think you do, there are clues around the map as to what they do.

Good details of the map expect there no terrain screenshots, the lore was pretty interesting, i didn't try it yet since i can't use my laptops yet, but i may give a review or something later, or maybe none since i kinda late.

It's a multiplayer game mostly, however the terrain in the screenshots does not reflect the real terrain of the map. Those were a few quick teaser images I made up several months before the terrain update heh.

Well, as you should know now, since I've played this map a lot and have people with experience as my allies.

First, sharing the gold mines, yes, you could share them, but your better off hogging them since Humans have enough gold mine to support all of the player in the main land even when they're hogging it, and they could increase it by going to islands.

Second, remove the walls on the main land and the island where DG and lb starts on, since Humans can just endlessly turtle there it's ridicoulous, and what's worse is, breaking down a wall won't be worth it since there will be an Army to hold you off and they would just rebuild it again.

Third, the undead needs something to pack a punch agaisnt turtling players. You also need to remove the mana burn ability from the Palonian Mage Guard, considering how tanky they are, they are OP hero snipers, needless to say that the Mana Burn ability says that it burns 300 mana when it's just 150 mana.

You aren't supposed to share gold mines, I guess it's just an option but the reason there are still 2 mines like that is formality at this point.

Humans wouldn't be able to win in the current state if the walls are removed, undead would have too fast of a start. Humans need the walls in order to find their bases in the start and mobilize to defend the front. If there weren't any defenses, the undead wouldn't have any kind of defense to break early on. A single undead can break the front wall in at least 2 minutes 30 seconds with minimal resistance, most humans haven't even finished their halls yet by then.

Undead do have something to pack a punch against turtlers. They have catapults, Ravagers, Gargantuans, and if you don't have the late game to make those, you can just go around using ships. Undead can mobilize a navy and an invading force MUCH earlier than humans due to their start next to resources.

Also turtling in general just isn't that strong of a strategy. This game is pretty much dependent on who controls what gold mines, and who runs out of income first. That or who destroys each other first. Turtling tends to limit your options.

I'm not going to remove mana burn, you should just build mana regeneration, intelligence, health, and health regen on your hero when you're getting focused. In addition to this, since you have 300 max food as undead, you can afford to put a few returned champions or nightstalkers in your army to heal your hero when he's getting bursted. This will make your hero survive, and then your enemy will have 20 mage guard that aren't good against brutalizers and nothing else.

Thanks! A lot of people have trouble finding them believe it or not, but there are 3 big secrets for humans, 3 for undead, and 3 that are neutral; then there are a lot of smaller ones all around.

You may have found all of them, but the only way you'd know is if you listed all of the ones you did find heh.

Hey guys! I'm back, at least for now. Going to be updating this map a bit in the near future, have a little revamp in mind.

For those who are not in the know, basically in 2015 I lost my PC with most of my unprotected WC3 maps. Being a dumb kid, my backups were mostly on the local PC and the last one had lost a good chunk of content. Basically, the cut off point was midway through the terrain revamp, so at least several months of work were lost.

Long story short, between that, college, work and my desire to work in the games industry; WC3 kind of got put on the back burner.

But I'm back! Over the years I've recreated the terrain, along with a slew of changes and now I finally did the big push to get it out the door.

I'll be creating a discord to communicate and find games effectively as well!

Here's a quick youtube video showing some of the new stuff!

i love this game its super fun it would be even better if you could add some AI :)

Very unlikely; I like the idea but it would take me like a month or something. Maybe if anything Plague 1 style wave defense

Does anyone know how to interact with a troll diplomat?

In 3.73 you bring notes to the island, the notes are scattered around and are called "Atas'ahs Journal Page X". I don't think this will remain in 4.0, likely there will be an easier method since the current one takes like an hour

I'm a huge fan of your maps yo, while waiting for updates I've played your maps for hours and hours.
