Yup, it's the sequel. It continues the story after the Prologue ends (Actually, it's 7 years after). Joshua, the protagonist was now on his older years.. (Ends here, don't want to reveal more of the story. :P)

The cinematics, some gameplay aspects, presentation and special effects are much better.

EDIT:
I updated to v1.03 because of some fixes. You can still find the download on the first post.

Thank you for those comments Moomoocow, now I've uploaded a more fixed version. You can find the map on my first post as usual.

To continue your game using the new campaign, just play the Natra-WorldMap.

Though this came late, I guess I need to put a help file thingy here.
DIALOG BUTTONS HELP
MOVE - Allows your hero to move on a radius near him.
ATTACK - Allows your hero to attack an enemy, if he is a melee hero, his range will be less than 300. If he is ranged, it is less than 600.
SPELLS - Allows your hero to cast a spell he learned. (More about this below)
ITEMS - Allows your hero to use an item in his inventory.
GUARD - Allows your hero to have a bonus armor then ends his turn, you can also use this to select where you want your hero to face.
REST - Allows your hero to regain HP/Mana for 3 turns, but you can't do anything unless rest is broken when you are attacked.
BACK TO MAIN - Allows you to select another character to act.

SOME QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT ASK:
(1) How can I cancel an action if there is no back button?
Try pressing ESC, it will return you to previous dialog.
(2)How can I use spells?
This is confusing in the start. Your heroes can learn spells from weapons. And each weapon has a unique spell equipped. Using a spell is easy, just click on the spells button on the main dialog box then click on any spell you like to cast. However, you must learn these spells first. You can't use spells unless the percentage beside them is lower than 100%. To increase this percentage, attack an enemy then it will slowly increase.

That's all, if you have any questions you can ask me anytime.

I haven't played a map like this before but loving it. It's tough and you really need to manage your guys to make it far here. The only real bug that you can duplicate is moving after you click attack on an enemy. Basically you click attack, click the guy, then when he goes to attack just move your guy. You get some minor experience, no damage done, but you can finish some maps faster with it. Other then that though I haven't found much else that's a repeatable bug.

EDIT: Oh you can also move when an enemy goes to attack you. I'll check later if doing that avoids damage but I don't think it does.

THE MAP ON THE DOWNLOAD PART ABOVE IS JUST A MIRROR FILE SO I CAN HAVE A SPACE TO PUT MY CAMPAIGN, WHICH CAN BE FOUND BELOW. I DID THIS BECAUSE, FOR SOME ODD REASON, THE SITE WOULDN'T ACCEPT THE ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN (Maybe because I've used wc3mapoptimizer, I don't know) AGAIN, PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FILE ABOVE, IT'S JUST A BLANK MAP.

And I am really sorry if I caused some misunderstanding...

STORY:
Tactics Unleashed Chapter 1 takes place on a story 7 years after the end of the prologue where Joshua, with his crew of knights and bandits try to rescue an imprisoned king and secure peace over the ravaged land once and for all.

FEATURES:
Turn Based Battle System
Dynamically Triggered Spells
Greatly Improved AI

CREDITS:
Ant for his great help on this campaign, especially on those times that i really needed improvements. This campaign wouldn't be what it is now if not for him.
All those who supported and commented on the Prologue which can be found on wc3sear.ch, Shggtshwa (can't spell it correctly), Drain_Pipe, VGsatomi.
Vexorian for his wonderful wc3mapoptimizer tool. Made me upload this one with ease since the original file was 7mb. (sorry, i have a crap connection)

Of course, comments, critics and violent reactions are very welcome.
If you found any bug, please let me know, I'll change it right away and I'll credit you for that.
If you need an unprotected map (so you can see the triggers, since I used wc3mapoptimizer to remove them) please send me a pm.

v1.03 changes:
- Fixed a bug on pressing ESC while attacking
- Added 2 battle maps. These are training grounds which can help you gain some levels or money while you start.
- Various balance fixes.

v1.02 changes:
- I made the first dialog box very optional. Now, you can select your character instantly without having to click on a dialog first.
- Removed a lot of wait actions. Maybe these are the ones bulking up the play time.
- Fixed an abusable bug where you can control your character when he attacks or defends.
- Fixed a serious bug about the dialog menu on towns.
- Decreased rest duration by 1 turn.
- Fixed weapon dropping bug.
