The Chosen Ones is a single-player campaign created for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne by Aeroblyctos and is one of the largest single-player campaign ever made with a total of 11 chapters, two interludes, a prologue, and an epilogue. This campaign features more than 10 hours of gameplay and huge replay value with elite and epic bosses that require the resources obtained from a second play through to conquer. Follow the story through the eyes of the three Dragon Slayers, the noble Phodom, the mischievous Fradz, and the wise Galeoth as they journey to face a powerful presence that threatens to destroy their people and along the way, each Dragon Slayer must confront their past, their secrets, and their inner struggles. This is a story of peace and war, of loss and despair, of hate and revenge, of destiny and self discovery; this is the story, of The Chosen Ones.
~Story~
Phodom, Fradz and Galeoth were the former dragon slayers in the war. The war ended 12 years ago when the humans defeated the dragons. The war was countless centuries long and people don’t remember how it started and why. After the war kingdom of Balgaron have lived since peacefully life.
However, Galeoth's obsession to find dragons forced him to start a new journey, once again. This time his destination is the Icy Mountains. In there, he faces a terrible truth.
Somehow or something forces Phodom, Fradz and Galeoth to team up and therefore they need to travel a long jorney to contend powerful enemies and to face their mysterious dreams.
This is an epic story of peace, war, hate and love, set in a massive world of Oelivert.
~Basic information~
This is a campaign I have been working from 2007 fall. It's my last and the best project. When I leave Warcraft III I hope my name will be remember a long time as a legend. So I have tried to put all my old projects to this huge campaign. I'm still doing this project, so feedback is very welcome.
~Features~
This is perhaps the longest campaign ever made for Warcarft III. Currently the campaign includes chapter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 7, 8, 9, 10 and two interludes. Hundreds of cinematics, many unique systems, over 100 abilities, over 500 items and much, much more. For completing this campaign takes about 10 to 30 hours.
~Alpha Version~
Because the campaign is still in alpha stage, there might be huge balance errors and other bugs. I hope you can help by telling me any bugs or any suggestions you'll find when you play the campaign. Of course I will reward you by giving some "rep" in here, and credits at the campaign.
~Your Job~
Your job is to play and comment. When you have played/you are still playing give me:
- Suggestions(example if something bother you in the campaign!)
- Balances(if boss/spells are too weak/strong tell me and I try to balance it!)
- Criticism(if you see any ciricsm tell me and I try to solve it!)
- Bugs(example if you get stuck in a cinematic!)
You don't need to write here comment if you don't want to. You can also contact me with:
- MSN, my email address is Aeroblyctos@hotmail.com Just put me into your MSN list and give comments while you are playing! That's a nice way and I really recommend it. I'm a positive guy so you won't get disapointed.
- Go to the official website: www.TCOcampaign.com and post in there.
- Send me an email to Aeroblyctos@hotmail.com
- Send me in hive a private message.
If you provide useful information about the campaign, I will give you some "rep" in here and I will put your name at the end of the campaign as alpha tester (of course if you can help me some other way or you have good suggestions I can put your name to other categories too!).
~Creators experience~
I have have been doing maps about 3 years now. In this short time I have finished 17 maps. Map called Mystery Of Friza is little similiar to this campaign. I did that map at 2006 christmas. Some may know that game. It's also long RPG but with only one hero and epic story. I have also made some cinematics and multiplayer maps. But hey, the list is too long and it's boring to write everything so let's skip rest of my maps. So after all, I can say that I'm very experienced map maker.
~Notes~
This campaign is almost 100 mb big file. Be patient while downloading.
- Try to give me much as possible feedback so I can make this campaign better.
- I will update these texts later so it's possible that here is some wrong texts.
- Also, my english is not the best. I have lot of grammar errors in my campaign. I have some guys helping me.
- This campaign is unprotected so you can check how I have done the campaign.
- Do not try to steal the campaign!
~Things you should know before start the game!~
All campaign chapters are currently open. This is because you can continue even if you have played older version(Exception: Earlier alpha versions to 2.2 or higher). When I release beta version, I will close all the maps.
- Saving is very wise so save often! At least before bosses!
- Do not try to use cheats in this campaign! It's pointless.
- This campaign takes more than 10 hour to finish.
This map is not my first map. Try my other maps. Here
you can see my other maps.
Please make a comment if you find any bugs or have any suggestions. I do appreciate criticism and applaud.

For Beginners
This tells you some information about the campaign before you start to play. I suggest you to read.
This campaign has 11 chapters, 2 interludes, a prologue and an epilogue.
The campaign is based on three heroes. You cannot build or make an army in this campaign. In other words, this is a huge RPG(role-playing game).
Heroes will be saved for the next chapter of course, so it's good to train your heroes for coming bosses.
Every chapter will have a boss and an elite and epic boss. However, I'm still creating elite and epic bosses so they are not in every chapter currently.
This campaign usesGold & Honor points as resources. You can earn either of them by gathering, completing quests & guessing the Riddler's questions correctly. Every chapter don't have shops.
Vitality is the heroes' energy. The more vitality points you have, the faster you regenerate hit points. If you have less energy, you will take take damage.
Vitality is based on points. Maximum vitality is 10 points and the lowest amount is 0.
=> 0/10 = Out of energy. 2% hp degeneration per second.
=> 1/10 - 3/10 = Low on energy. 1% hp degeneration per second.
=> 4/10 - 6/10 = Normal on energy. No effects.
=> 7/10 - 9/10 = Good on energy. 1% hp regeneration per second.
=> 10/10 = Perfect on energy. 2% hp regeneration per second.
This campaign's maximum level is 50, but you can't be level 50 in chapter one. Every chapter has own maximum level as well. For example, chapter one have 5 maximum level.
Heroes have six spells. Four basic hero spells, that you can level up every other level. There's also an ultimate hero spell, that starts from level 10 and and you can level it up every 10 levels, for example, 10, 20 and 30. Heroes' also have basic spell that will be upgraded automatically every five levels.
You can choose your abilities. Currently there are not many abilitie, but there will be later about 200 abilities to choose from. Choose wisely, because they will be to the end of the campaign.
Every chapter has its own amount of quests. For example, chapter 7 has about six or more quests, but chapter 3 has none. It's always wise to do a quest. If you complete a quest, you will automatically get an additional level. Quests also give gold, honor points, and other special items.
If you see you in a difficulty place and you don't know how to defeat next boss, you can always start the campaign from the beginning, with saved resources from your current game. This also helps you to beat elite and epic bosses.

You can avoid that. Just ran further away!

So people won't cheat. It's stupid if people just do "whosyourdaddy" and complete campaign in no time. It needs some hard work to finish my campaign.
EDIT: Oh yes I forgot to say two important thing:
- Save often! Before every boss at least!
- Do not try to use cheats in this campaign! It's pointless.
