The Chosen Ones
Single-player RPG


Story
Background Story
Twelve peaceful years have passed since The Great War ended. The war that lasted centuries but no man could recall the reason of. The age of despair, bloodshed, loss and grief is now past. The new age brought the opportunity for human kingdoms to rise, as humanity has broken free from the grip of the dragons.

This story focuses on Kingdom of Balgaron and three famous Dragon Slayers: Phodom, Fradz and Galeoth. Each of them starts their journey in different places, but they will eventually meet eachother and join forces along the path. Together, the three are forced to go a conflict beyond their imaginations.

Lead them into an epic world, guided by a strong storyline that covers hate, love, war and peace.

Phodom
Fradz
Galeoth
The honored Dragon Slayer Phodom gave up his life as a warrior and began a new life with his wife and his children, far away from the capital of Balgaron in the small town called Dalli. All his plans were going smooth and easy until someone steps into his life and changes everything...Fradz is a young energetic Dragon Slayer known for his short temper and bad manners. This silly thief is a very powerful warrior and it is said that he even killed powerful dragons single-handedly. After the war, Fradz went on many journeys, but one day a mysterious voice told him to travel to the famous Dragon Inn to meet someone who was once very close to him. Fradz accepts this new journey, as he knows that he cannot decline it...Galeoth, the son of a legendary Dragon Slayer lived up to his father's name and became one of the leaders of Balgaron. After the war, Galeoth still believed that the war was not yet over. His obsession to find dragons led him towards the Icy Mountains where he is about to uncover a horrible secret that will change the fate of mankind...

I have briefly looked at your campaign. I like the way you have made it a decent length, as most campaigns that are put on Hive Workshop are only 3-5 maps long. You have also put in a lot of creativity.

However, I have also noticed some things you could improve. Does there have to be background music at the loading screen? I don't find it necessary. Also, make it so users can skip cinematics whenever they want. Giving them 3 seconds to choose if they want to watch the cinematics before it plays can be annoying.

Turnro, before a cinematic starts you have like 4-5 seconds to press ESC and you'll skip it. There's a timer in one of the top corners.

Yea, there's that skip cinematic function already.

meanwhile, yeah that vitality content have been very good, but you should lengthen it's durability.

What do you mean?

I am following this thread. Thing is I don't have time to play and so I can't give much feedback :S
I don't need any feedback at the moment. When next version, then it's welcome. And really is. :p

Flame_Phoenix said:
Btw, didn't you have something like "gold earned?"
Noooo... But how would that work?

Starting gold - The gold at the end of chapter = Gold Gathered

Like that?

These are from trafalgar_kid

In third chapter there is quest Strange stones. I found 3 stones and last one says go west, but when i go west i dont find anything. And 1 more question: how can i see how many honor points i have?

Answer = In fact, this quest is in chapter 4. After you get the stone that says "go west", you must return to the map beginning. The last stone is blue, and its well hide. it's below a tree. Hint : Use your mouse scroll, without it is near impossible to find.

Whole campaign is amazing but only problem is that i cant kill elite boss in 4. chapter. I killed every creature in map and i dont stand a chance kiling "a thing". And can i get silver sword when i give it to merchant.

Answer = This boss is one of the easier ones, and I really don't know why he is elite boss. If you are a begginer, you really can't kill him, and I sugest using -give up. You can kill him without it, however. Just have the maraghats set from first chapter and silver set from fourfth, keep casting Fire Shield, and the elemental helps a lot. When he starts taking out your HP, summon him and break down his face. His "fatality", the tree circle, can't kill you if you have both sets and the red balls.
To keep the sword, just choose the option that says something like "the sword was broken", you gain the reward and the sword :thumbs_up:

Why chapter five is just color black and have lights is this a bug?? :con:

Oh well... when you say "black and lights" is kind of the ground and water is all black, and you can barely see your heroes and monsters ? If so, try going into settings and putting all to maximum. First time I played chapter five was this way, 'cause I have lowered the cofigs when fighting the third chapter's elite boss. Putting the configs to maximum made chapter five normal again. Give it a try :spell_breaker:

Not really. I remember when I first fought the Ice Esper I had to fight him over and over about 15 times, before I found a way to kill him.

Dude its the greatest thing that you didnt protect this map so it can be edited.
all though you should make a version of the campaign where you can use cheats.or at least make yourown cheats and make a triger that ses them to the player when he completes the campaign.SOZ if my eng is bad.:S

Anyway your map is awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Just a suggestion:

Eliminate the need for food. It is a burden to have to worry about vitality low.
I found it much easier to fight bosses, when i dropped my vitality food and had a free slot for mana or hp pots.

For example, this is how i like my 6 slot item bag:

WEAPON
WEAPON
ARMOR
SPECIAL ITEM
HP POTS
MANA POTS

My suggestion: Eliminate Vitality, leaving us free to carry the items i just mentioned..without a worry.


Another suggestion:

Murloc boss was kind of hard at level 5, I miraculously got him down to 69% but i had no mana or hp pots left. My fire elemental was semi helpful.
The Ogre boss murdered me..even with hp pots and mana pots...

IF those bosses are meant for characters around my level.... weaken them jsut a bit.

my whoel point of this psot was basically:

Eliminate vitality or supplement it with a rune type deal: increases vitality when clicked on but doesnt go in item slot.

Hi, I have found one major bug. Sometimes when using heroes' abilities the game drops and I get the "Please don't use cheats in this campaign" message. It happened at the Father Bear Cave and in other parts of the campaign. Does anybody have any idea how to solve te issue? It's a pity because that way I can't play the missions anymore.
Cheers

I guess I'll remove the anti-cheat system for a while because I got the same bug. Maybe later I have enough power to fix it. I just started yesterday making the campaign once again. I had about one to two month break. I'll make the game-play a lot more simplier and easy and then I'll test few times. After that I think the campaign is ready to be released.

It's almost year from the last version. That's a long time, but I was in army last 9 months. X_x

Hy this is my first post on hive but i play warcraft since it was made.
i have played a lot of maps and campaigns and i must say that you have made
awesome one.
i downloaded this camping three days ago and since then i am on 1st chapter
cuz i want to solve all quests and find all the secrets.

first thing to say is that i really like this "hardcore" RPG campaigns but this one is
really "hardcore"
i think that you need to weaken that archmage in chapter 1
i say this because his hp(11k) and mana(3k) aren't problem
the problem lies in his skills (fiery stamped)he is invulnerable while using it
this spell does over 100 dmg per hit but you can avoid it. so that isn't that much problem main problem is taht he is invulnerable.
next spell is also problem but i dont know how to name it.It looks like some light coming from the floor of the arena which deals over 500dmg + burns all your mana.
this skill isnt that much of a pproblem cuz he looses a lot of mana to cast it.(while casting he is also invulnerable)
next spell is rejuvenation i cant say anything bad about it cuzz it isnt over buffed
but still heals over 1k hp.also spends a lot of his mana.
he also have some kind of stun ability but he used it only once so i cant be precise about it.
AND finally the last spell which makes it impossible or i think that is spell.Mana regen
he had 500 mana
i somehow went in upper corner of arena and used the skill that restores hp and mana.
when i came back (6secs) he had full mana.

suggestion:-try to weaken him a bit
-that boots you get on start of the chapter(inside the box),
put them on sale in one of the markets cuzz if you sell them you cant
get them back
-some sets have at he bottom of description example-> -mar
but some have colored(-) and white . behind i thin you should
put some tag of the set there and it would be nice if you would
make some stories about these sets.to access the story of set
and to view every part of set player would write the tag of the set
and the story would pop up on the screen. in the finishing part of story
would be written example (this legendary set was assembled by
three legendary items:shapeshifter's plate, shapeshifter's shield and
shapeshifter's necklace)

i really like your campaign 5/5
it is 5/5 because i know that you have a lot of things to do and some time to make this campaign
i would like to write about other campaigns but i won't till i finish this chapter XD

terrain is nice and roads match with those on the map in loading screen
great models are used but it would be better if main character would have a sword instead of paladin's hammer.

i am looking forward to see next update

by the way i was reading other posts
i have to say a few things about that too :)
that boss in chapter 1 Golem was too weak if he is main boss he should be stronger than the elite boss
the big bad murlock was really powerful but i managed to defeat him

and i think that there is a bug in chapter 1
when you speak with the orc befor fight with archmage
you chose to fight arch mage
orc says to follow him and screen goes dark
here comes bug (i think that's bug)
you can skip cinematic but if you do so you start fighting but you cant control camera and the "cinematic" with archmage starts you dont see the movie just the conversaton

and finally i am sorry if you don't understand something
i am from Croatia

Hey there.

I don't like to reply nowadays any comments towards to the campaign because I'm ashamed that I have not updated the campaign in a while. Also I have reply to the same questions over and over again so I'm frustrated.

Okay, hmm. There's not much actually to be said to your post that chapter 1 Epic Boss is remade in the next version. And... Every single monster is remade in the whole campaign. So actually the whole campaign is remade. HA HE HA HE. HO HO.

I just lack motivation to finish everything I have done.

no need to be ashamed of not updating
i mean you also have RL
this is just a hobby
your motivation should be those massive reply's to your campaign
people likes your campaign
just check DOTA
people all around play it
why?
first time it was released almost no one played it
so the creator of the map stop to make new versions
and there comes icefrog
with new ideas.
he saw that people started to play the map
so he keep's up updating the map
your motivation should be made by comment's of players and sugestions
hope to see a new update
by the way i failed in defeating that archmage
so i just continued to chapter 2

Awesome work.... but its seriously so hard. Hmmmmm you cannot change difficulty of the campaign Like the frozen throne campaign right?
Anyway I think you should change the box system to a backpack system. Like the ones in ToTk.
