The Plague V3.7

[Puncho]

ahhh man I'm so sorry. I forgot to host because I just got city of villains and I was playing practically all weekend and I forgot I'll make sure to do it the week after this one I promise. I'll write a note to myself if I have to.

 

[Cazeoj276]

Ok for those of you who can host, i cannot host for myself, i rely on kind people who can host for me. If yor liked this game and would like to host it again, plz let me know in comments with a date and time you are going to host it. It would be appreciated a lot. I love playing my game but i cant do it alone lol. So plz let me know if you could host for me. Ty

 

[Puncho]

I've been grounded so I can't host this weekend unless something magical happens -_- so srry man.
oh yeah hows the Minas Tirith map going?

 

[Cazeoj276]

Havent really worked on it much lately, been having some issues going on and i havent had the time or the patience. So right now i got a couple of units and some terrain done. ty for asking.

 

[Puncho]

[MrBimbo]

LOL 43berries commented this game xD. Don't listen to him. Anyways, im about to download this game, and from what i've heard, this will be soo kick ass! I'll comment back once I play it.

 

[kurapikachile]

i really enjoyed the game, good idea and very original too.

 

[lulol]

It's a very fun map , I have played it lots of times
I give 4/5 :
+very fun to play
+ hard to hold and defend
+good immersion
+nice mass zombie system

~build a city is hard ( no tower ?? )
~too many builders ( worker ; city builder ; wall and tide .... )
~just 10 level to heroes ( why not 12 ?? )

-retake city is (too ?) easy
- just 3 types of zombie

 

[Cazeoj276]

If you like this map check out Colony Wars Version 1.0. Its not a zombie map but its a pretty cool space map i made. Its worth checking out. And lulol, if i made the heroes a higher level they would be too strong. Ive tried. The different builders i guess i could minimize into one but it would look kinda confusing on one guy. And yeah the cities are kinda hard to build, i dont know how to make it easier. You have all the tools. It just takes about 5 mins to make a good one. And retaking cities is pretty easy but it makes zombies group up at the gate of their main city making it hard to win. i might add something for you when you lose a city. And i dont know what else to make for zombies. If i give them a range unit it will be impossible to win. And i already made a big zombie so im stuck. And there are 4 types of zombies, Armoured, regular, mutant, hero zombie. And the boss too, i didnt count him.

So ty for comments, you made my rating go down though! :'(

I've played this map a few times, mostly with friends, and I quite like it. Some suggestions, however:
-The zombie attacks, while initially quite hard to defend against, are eventually defeatable by one player. At the end of one game, I was holding the trenches all by myself. If they gradually increased in numbers, it would put a lot more pressure on the players to get ahead and win - and create a much greater atmosphere of a desperate band of survivors holding out against the zombie hordes, etc etc.
-The Soldier and Bowman both share the same icon, which can be confusing at a glance. The various builders also all share the same model, which can be even worse if you're trawling through a whole city to find one.
-Some upgrades for the human players would be good, particularly for whichever unfortunate soul has to hold the border.
-Finally, rat attacks in the cities can be... annoying. Why would a rat hit four times harder than a man with a sword, anyway? It would be better if you replaced them with some kind of weakened zombie (infected by the airborne strain of the virus, perhaps) and randomised where they spawned in the city.

Other zombie ideas - a support zombie (undead priest), a weak-but-fast one, and one that gradually corrupts the land behind it, causing damage to troops in the area if it is not purged.

All in all, though, I really liked the map. Keep up the good work!

 

[Cazeoj276]

Ok ty for comment. I will update my map soon as version 3.3 with most of you suggestions. Especially the upgrade one. And i will probrably replace the rats with a weak zombie too. As for the gradual zombie attacks. Ill do my best. Ill probrably decrease there numbers and increase there hp and attack.

 

[Cazeoj276]

Yeah! Lol 60 comments. Also if ne1 wants to host this map for me plz let me know. Im currently updating and checking this map a lot so plz let me know if you can host. Also, i never see this map hosted! If it has that many dls then why wont it get hosted. The Plague 2 has only a few hundred dls and its hosted all the time. It makes me sad and angry b/c i love my map and i love playing it but playing alone can be boring. Host it every now and then and see how it goes. Im sure you wont be dissapointed.

 

[pyropk95]

only 1 word describes this...LAG

 

[Cazeoj276]

It isnt very laggy in the newer versions. It was previously very laggy but now i decreased the spam to half of what it was and made units much better. So the lag is not bad, i think its at a decent level. Also did you play it online b/c if you didnt some of the lag system requires players killing zombies in order to reduce the lag. Its a fragile system but it works. Also constructive criticism helps, and your profile isnt very inviting lol. I play it on lan with my bro all the time and the lag is acceptable. But it could be improved ill admit to that.

 

[pyropk95]

no i just dled..this...and i just played it today

 

[Cazeoj276]

This game is now much easier to play. Now your hero is much better and the help me feature will save noobs.

 

[Sir.Laggalot]

This game is very similar to a game I've been working on (Shadowed Day).

My system is less city based though, undead spread blight when they kill things or die. Undead are spawned over time and the more blight there is on the map the faster they will spawn.

I look forward to playing your game.

 

[Darkness32]

Needs more zombie spawning points, More zombies variety , and maybe events?

Edit:
Also game lags every 25 seconds because of the 200 villagers per player. Fix it and it will be lag free I think

 

[Cazeoj276]

Thanks darkness ill fix that in next patch. Im a little busy with the plague 2, its looking extremely cool. Prolly 10x cooler than this game was. Its called the plague 2 island infection. The zombes are computer players and the game is much more in depth story and gameplay wise. So plz, if your interested, ill send you some stuff about the game.

 

[Darkness32]

Awwww and I thought you stopped working on it anyway if your making plauge 2 here are some things to look out for , The starting tarven. Too big too annoying . should be removed when the players aren't there also make it smaller. And yes I am interested in plauge 2 hope it will be nice . Good luck to your map

 

[Templarion]

Nothing special but if you like zombies you will probably like this, too.

I like building stuff and the amount of options but why aren't the cities already controlled by players and not by computers? It would be more fun if some players controlled the towns and some should build them or just to defend the other players towns.

Training militia was also confusing me in the beginning. Why don't you use a different model and icon because in the original Warcraft militia can be turned to peasants and vice versa. Or why not just use the basic Call for Arms -thingie?

 

[Kelden]

Hey, being a big zombie build survival fan I dled and played your map, all in all I'd say it was a great map but there were a few gripes I had with it. The first thing being the amount of units of each type, while I appreciate that allowing someone to mass border troops would be a bit broken, it's a bit boring that you can't personalize your army, eg. someone goes for cavalry because he has a cavalry hero, and so on. This could be achieved by the system that diplomacy uses where you build certain buildings for certain troop types. Don't know how difficult it would be to implement but it would give more freedom of choice.

Further problems I encountered were the walls, sure they did a fairly good job but they weren't precisely the time sink for the zombies I was hoping for as they died in max 10 hits. It would be cool if you could upgrade them somehow.

Lastly the difficulty, the game is quite easy, with 2 players attacking and 2 players keeping the rest of the world zombie free we won easily :/

 

[Cazeoj276]

Thanks kelden for your input. Ill probrably implement most of the things you said and i appreciate it. Right now im working on the plague 2! : ) so im kinda busy but once its done ill patch this game a bit. Also, do you host this map alot? if you do plz mssg me on the bnet (Cazeoj276) on the east coast a id love to play with you sometime. BUt when i fix it Ill make the walls better and probrably some race variation. And the zombies will become playable in a patch or two. So ty for input!

Cazeoj,

 

[Hashinshin]

Really looking foward to The Plague 2. Minor issues with this one though...

Zombies are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy dependent on armoured mutated zombies late game. The normal zombies become somewhat of a joke and everyone has to focus fire armoured mutants. I think you should scale down armoured mutant health but scale up the damage of normal zombies so they can keep pace with people who spam border guard.

I think there should be a reason to NOT spam border guard. I mean it feels kinda wierd that all your units are all the best expert units... gold is beyond easy to get and it doesn't seem to be used at all. I think scaling villagers down to maybe 10 or 15 gold per income would make this game more enjoyable instead of a spam fest.

Ranged units don't get upgrades. Thats just a bug.

All in all though this game was pretty much exactly what I thought it would be. My only suggestion is a mode or playstyle (possibly in The Plague 2 since you seem to focus a lot on that) where theres no castle to bunker down in and its just every man for themselves building cities. Zombies getting into your villagers and toppling cities is the most fun aspect of the game but some people just build inside the kingdom's main city and turtle it up.

Also, somebody got killmaim to drop off of killing one of blue's villagers. Made his hero damn near unkillable. Items not intended to drop dropping off of blue seems to be an issue.

 

[Cazeoj276]

First off im very glad you host my game, maybe if you mssg me on the bnet sumtime we can play together. My username in game is cazeoj276 on the east coast. So add me if you want. Id love to play with you.

Ill prolly get rid of the killmaim drop, its kindof a secret n i guess its out lol. So ill change it. Ill even out zombies a bit to make them better and harder to kill and as im sure you know zombies will be playable which will make things interesting. Border guard will prolly be limited more or debuffed a bit. So ty for your input man and i hope to play with you sumtime.

 

[Cazeoj276]

ATTENTION EVERYONE WHO ENJOYS THIS GAME

<THE PLAGUE 2: ISLAND INFECTION V1.0 IS COMING OUT THIS WEEKEND FRIDAY OR SAT>

<IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO PLAY IT MSSG ME ON THE BNET OR SEND ME A FRIEND REQUEST (CAZEOJ276 ON THE EAST COAST) OR MSSG ME HERE ON THE HIVE. ALSO IF YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH ME YOU COULD INCLUDE THAT IN YOUR MSSG. IVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR 4 MONTHS NOW AND IT LOOKS AMAZING. PLZ DL AND HAVE FUN!

Cazeoj,

 

[lollol123]

Warcraft 3 crashed when I played this :/
I suspect the crash is due to memory leaks because the error message said something about warcraft 3 running out of memory (something like that).

Is the game leak free? If you aren't planning to make any updates to this anymore can you convert the triggers to jass to remove the leaks

 

[ZKAmedic]

Hmmm, im trying this map but not looking forward to it, Why is your description SOOO long.....
Normally i try to read it but its to long,D:

 

[Cazeoj276]

First off I am sorry for describing my game in detail. Ill go for smaller amounts of text next time so its easier to understand. If u needed to know what the game was about a simple small description was listed at the top. If your not going to post something productive or helpful then I really don't need crap, especially if you hadn't even tried the game out. Thanks a bunch
