Map description:


Body Defenders: Have to protect The Human Body and his organs from the viruses and to destroy all viruses that are inside the body.

Viruses: Have to Kill The Human Body by killing:
The Stomach to stop Pills from coming. When you kill The stomach Anti-Virus Cloud will be released and a lot of Pills, as a last resort of The Body and the doctors to eliminate the viruses.
The Heart to stop the T-Bodys, Mature T-Bodys, White Blood Cells and the Antibodies from coming.
The Brain to win the game.





Ebola (Easy) - This strain need only more and more units killed to grow stronger. For every killed enemy unit new unit will be spawned from it 1 level lower than the killing unit. This strain is good for players that play for first time the map becouse it's very powerfull strain in the begining. In late game when there don't have alot of enemies to be killed you will be unable to have alot of units.

Hantavirus (Normal) - This virus is highly adaptive, he need to kill enemy units to gain skills. Different units of this strain gain different skills after a number of kills.

Evolution (Hard) - This strain need time to evolve and grow stronger. You have to keep you units from dying when they are low on hp becouse when they evolve their hp will be full again. If you choose this strain you have to wait most of the time for your units to grow stronger to be able to fight. The last evo units of this strain are very good for late game.


Note: In the Lungs you can find spores and with them you can spawn bacteries which can multiply very fast.

Well i can say map has clear gameplay but you could improve a bit nucleus like in early versions and bacteria don't think it's bit imbalance? Body defenders poor units :/ vs. full evoluated worms and multipling bacterias no chances

Wow, much more improved from the original versions from Velex, but i really have to say if you were to do what scoobydoo did (Add multiple types of viruses) It would improve the game play so much. Instead of just having one hero type with... i think 4 types of units? Multiple heroes that have multiple functions with different pros and cons (Not all just to take over the nucleus, such as a worm which would breed in the stomach or lungs). Another suggestions would make the "Producer" have a peasant icon in the bottom left or a hero icon in the top left it's much more convenient then having to type out producer. I'm not sure what you've done too the immune system but i'm not a big fan of it....upgradeable vacuole...? (Vacuole's are storage zones for water/food) Pills making T-Towers (Which doesn't work you need to give them the repair ability bud) is somewhat stupid.... You should really take a look at scoobydoo's version Virus Infection BETA 21b - Warcraft 3 Maps - EpicWar.com because his version out dos yours (no offense) Good luck with the map

I believed this version was better than the older versions , since in older version, the virus stand no chance at the start, and can't even take the middle with max techs.

Keep the updates comin' dude, they all look fine so far. But for the different types of viruses put in new heroes for that virus type (Choas orc? wtf? a better model please!) ....it makes the game really bland when they're all the same. More colorful spells too, be innovative, not just renamed vampire aura. And, possible try out a virus that's based all on hero that can't take over cells, like worms.

Btw, the immune system are based in lymph nodes....vacuoles are just storage points for waste and water...]

Why is the icon for the virus builders a wyvern?

When playing the immune system how do you take nucleolus back and use them so you can mine off them? Why do pills create buildings, why not stem cells?
Also, do you realize how unbalanced the immune system is? 7k for an upgrade is horrendous...that would take at least a hour if you weren't building units. Why don't they have any heroes....?

man i love your game altough is not original, is excellent, here I left you some ideas:

-a new hero, who doesnt make units and dont have a unit producer, he also dont uses wood to get more agilty, int...etc. he uses wood to evolve and get a new form, there are many evolution ways, for example a evolution which improves your phisical atributes, another evolution that makes you improve your speed and other that gives you a lot of spells and mana. You can only choose one evolution, once you evolve you get new types of evolutions appart from your new atributes.
The hero should evolve 3 times at least, depending on which evolutions you took your final form will be diferent. For Example:
you evolvo to a phisycal form, once you did that you will need to get more wood killing units,to evolve again, this new form will provide this other evolutions: Continue with phisycal evolution(same good things and bad things), evolve to a rage virus(good damage, bad armor), evolve to a caparace virus(good armor bad damage) and evolve to a tank virus ( good damage and armor, bad speed ).
just an example.

-a new hero, it doesnt make units or evolve. he only gain units when he kill units, he has unit producer but is called unit upgrade and only contains upgrades for the units you gain.

-another idea is to give body defenders, weak heros with very good abilities(i´m sure someone told u this before).

-other idea but this is something not really necesary. More organs in they body, when they are alive they give or do important things for the body and for body defenders, until they are destroyed.

Hope this help you.

New heroes

The working on new hero is stoped better make every strain to have his own hero please give suggestions for new heroes (hero model and skills)
And please play the map at least 2-3 times to know for what i am talking, and please let's your ideas be balanced.
(credits will be given :wink:)

(i will add new heroes but after moths or maybe never i am tired of thinking what new, what new) :bored:

You forgot one Important thing: Cancer :p
It'd be great if you could make it a hero that evolves and gets exp faster or stats faster,
That can't produce units... And so on ;)
Maybe you could make him a no-team-player, so hes the Freerunner and against all ;)
Oh, and, if you want to i could make some things for you like Models or help with triggers etc.
Maybe new terrain, but it's great already...
So, think about it, i need the training ;)

Those things was fixed long time ago and becouse of the fact that immune system is 70% controled by a computer there is no way at the moment this map to be played by noob players. In this new version few bugs are fixed and some triggers are reworked, but evolution time may be changed but i don't know when for now looks ok 2 me :smile:

Although the beginning is very hard(for newbies or etc) it gets easier with time

I tried this game solo at first to see how far I could go. The only race I couldn't use good at first time was evolution, because I tend to rush :p

Even though the bacteria are very week, they can multiply in a somewhat fast speed, which is awesome.
I wouldn't say they're overpowered, because they 'act' as bacteria(divide into 2 which can divide into 2... and use little energy) but with good tactics I was able to use them as my main attack force :p

If I let the body act for more time I'd probably lose, but I really liked the interactivity (doctor/ heart revival, etc)
I just wished the brain was stronger ...

Also, when I checked the help, there are some parts which are not complete(don'tknow why though)

Finally, I haven't found any information on blood cells and how to infect them. I assumed that they got infected when they passed through my viruses, but that's as far as I could go :p

You are right. It is easier, if you know, what you can do. :)
I think you can make one more unit for each race.

The problem the creativity is not my best ability and i have no idea what other to add

Very bad is that you can kill nucleuses if attacking with to much units / strong units.
then the attacker attacks after the nucleus is already yours so amybe make it invurneable for 2 seconds...


The nucleuses/cells are fragile things so i decide if they got 2 much dmg for the last hit they to die

I have been playing this map a few times and I have won 1 time by a mistake of the body defence ..

I still think the body is kinda OP even if you play well ... I mean who can ever stand up against an army of 10 anti bodies and 1 anti virus cloud ?
I think you should at least make antibodies cost some more like : 500 , or 1k
to keep the balance... because a mass of antibodies can kill about anything ..

The map is a good idea, and i like it, but first:
I agree with everything Septimus said. And the game is really unbalanced. WITHOUT the defense players the body owns the viruses. With, there are no words to such mass destruction. Of course that in the realism it IS like that, people don't die everyday by some skinny virus. But there are 8 virus in Bob, that's quite a punch. And bob can receive a LOT of pain, or whatever, but he can defeat all those virus so easily? And in a game everyone must have a equal chance of winning in the beggining, so... well, you got me. Work more on this. 3/5

yep there was few times where mass of antibodie just kill me for few seconds but i was alone. If the game is full body defenders will not kill you with 12 antibodies
