Season 01//The Crimson Plague
She waited five years underground.Now she is awake.
After the fall of the Doom Legion, Lady in Red disappeared into the earth, carrying the Gift of Bloodspawn. The Crimson Plague is what she became.
// Server #2130 — Kickoff Imminentv0.1.0
The map has been rewritten.
// every alliance returns to the edge
The cities are no longer ours.
// six tiers of territory. one capital.
The infected are not zombies anymore.
// they are scorpions now
What we built does not reset.What we conquered does.
// HQ stays. Heroes stay. Territory burns.
We do not enter the Plague alone.We enter as Hunterz.

Pillar 02//The Law
Virus Resistance is the only stat that matters.
In Season 1, the wasteland is infected. Every zombie, every elite, every wave of the Crimson Legion carries the virus. Power does not protect you. Heroes do not protect you. Only Virus Resistance does.
// Specimen — RA-V Strain — Crimson Variant
Infection Thresholds
- 01Minor debuffs begin
- 20Damage debuffs become significant
- 40Fatal Virus activates
- 60Severe Infection
- 80Virus Plague — your troops can infect enemies even in defeat
- 100Your base detonates
The Tank cannot tank infection.
The Aircraft cannot outrun infection.
The Missile cannot snipe infection.
// only resistance survives the plague
↓ The Three Squads ↓
Pillar 03//The Three Squads
Three classes. One triangle. No exceptions.
In Season 1, every commander fights with one of three squad types. Each has a carry that defines it. Each beats one. Each loses to another. The triangle is older than the Plague — and it does not bend.
02/Aircraft
Aircraft
The strike that arrives before the warning.
- Carry
- DVA
- Signature
- Energy Master — Week 3
- Role
- Rally attacking. Fast capture. The squad that decides.
- Counter

Missile

- Signature
- Inductive Current — Week 6

- Counter

// The Triangle
Mono-type squads receive +20% HP, Attack, and Defense. Counter advantages add another +20% on top. The triangle is the math of war.
↓ The New Resources ↓
Pillar 04//The New Economy

Pillar 05//The Timeline

The Plague unfolds on a fixed schedule. Every server, every alliance, every commander runs the same eight weeks. What you do inside them is yours. The arc itself is not.

↓ The Invisible Enemies ↓
Pillar 06//The Invisible
Six things in the Plaguethat do not announce themselves.
Most of what kills a commander in Season 1 is not the Crimson Queen. It is what happens at four in the morning, when no one is looking. These are the patterns. Memorize them.
01
The Auto-Rally
While you sleep, the alliance starts a rally. Your troops join automatically. The "ignore all-out attacks" toggle does not stop them.
// it joins for you. without asking.
02
Insufficient Resistance
Attacking a target with more virus than you can resist costs you the squad and infects the survivors.
// the wall is invisible until you hit it.
03
The Wrong Counter
Tank into Aircraft. Aircraft into Missile. Missile into Tank. The triangle does not negotiate.
// the math is set before the battle.
04
One Hundred Stacks
Reach one hundred infection stacks and your base detonates. Cure passively from forty stacks. Never wait.
// the countdown is silent.
05
Acid Rain at Night
Every five minutes during Acid Rain, your virus stacks rise on their own. Sleeping unshielded is an unforced error.
// the weather forgets that you are sleeping.
06
The Mixed Squad
A single off-type hero in the squad costs you the +20% mono bonus. The math punishes hybrids.
// purity is a stat.
The Plague does not announce itself.We do.
// stay awake. stay cured. stay in formation.
↓ The Glossary ↓
Pillar 07//The Lexicon
The language of the Plague.
Every season grows its own vocabulary. These are the words you will hear in the alliance chat, in the rally call, in the late-night Discord voice channel. Learn them and you will not be lost.

City of Apocalypse
CapitolThe seat of the Crimson Queen at the center of the map. Opens for war on Day 28. Holding it is the season's prize.

Weather
Six StatesSunny, Rainbow, Light Rain, Foggy, Acid Rain, Windy. Each affects PvE and PvP windows differently. Acid Rain is the dangerous one.

The Hive
Starting ZoneThe cluster at the edge of the server where all alliances begin S1, before the map opens for conquest.
Virus Bomb
Self-DetonationA base that has reached 100 infection stacks. Detonates on countdown, damaging and infecting nearby bases.
When you hear these words in the chat,you will know.
// the language is shared. so is the war.
// End Transmission
The Plague is not coming.The Plague is here.
