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...

Before anything, I have to say I love the new models for Fradz and Galeoth.

Now that aside, I did encounter a problem with Galeoth. First in the Prologue when picking the starting sets (lucky, defensive, etc), I picked the lucky set, the special set with the spell dmg item was chosen instead as I found out when starting chapter 3.

The next problem might just be a personal issue or connected with the above problem in some way but w/e I tried to load a saved game from chapter 3, the game would crash. This has never happened before so just thought I would post it here incase other people are haveing the same problem.

This is in 1.4a btw, need to dl the new version and see if this is still an issue.

was just playing fradz AGAIN, anyway the book of regen still seems to bug up(0hp/mana regen) the chart all though i'm actually regning hp now,

i just killed the guy with the second brother... turned in the quest and started taking 30dmg a second then i died. no clue. i might have been low on food, a warning would be nice at the very least as to why you might suddenly start taking massive damage.

herb count is still messed up btw

Hi there, nice campaign you made. I reached chapter 3 and i really enjoyed it until here. However i got a problem with loading savegames in this chapter. When loading i get a fatal error. Wc3 makes an attempt to load the file but befor finishing the load it fatals - always.

Here is what it says:

This application has encountered a critical error:

Fatal error!

Exception: 0xC0000005(ACCESS_VIOLATION)
The instruction at '0x150348BC' referenced mememory at '0x00000000'.
The memory could not be 'read'.


Maybe you can help me out here ? I would appreciate it since i really wanna go on playing that nice campaign. Thanks in advance.

Yea, I got too few times. I wonder what's doing this...

The puzzle doesn't work at all. Will be fixed!

Mana Gem can be now bought from chapter 4 Black Merchant. It was too powerful item for chapter 1.

Why my PC suddenly getting slow when playing chapter 3 1.4b..

When exactly? Does the campaign lag? Only in that chapter?

"When exactly? Does the campaign lag? Only in that chapter?"

I had experienced this too. It was indeed in chapter 3 and it was very laggy. Even after turning details and effects to minimum it was still pretty bad. I also noticed the steal bug mentioned earlier. It seems it is broken in chapter 3.

Also, in regard to the crashes from trying to load games, I wonder if it might be because of the vast amount of info that is stored from each chapter, especially if you do the "give up" command. I have done it several times and each time I notice that it is taking longer for the campaign to load each chapter and even saved games. I played one map once called This Wreckage and it got to the point where it was so overloaded with info saved that I could no longer load my saves. I'm hoping this is not the case, but I fear it could be. And with this only having 5 maps released so far with more to come, I have to admit, I'm a little worried.

I even didn´t played chapter 3 now because of that mega lag, that can´t be played :p

Chapter 1 - Every dig, even while im not at digging site, write treasure found, but it´s too deep. Even when i don´t have enough digging power i can dig it, i exactly digged nearly everything on level 1 without anything.
While epic boss śtarted to please for life, still, there is the bug that means he will start doing something. He only summoned uldum so i lived to kill him :p

Hmm, actually the data is about same when having just one chapter or whole campaign... It's same with file size, it will be about same when having all chapters than having one chapter. Almost everything is done for the campaign. Bugs there and there and rest is my job just to edit the rest of the chapters to best quality as possible.

I'm not a superb coder and there's not really anything very complicated systems in this campaign that can make things horrible. If there's problems with systems, it's me and my average triggering skills making once again something stupid. :D

There are few systems not made by me, but they shouldn't make things bad, expect that save/load combat king & spell book which at the moment doesn't work.

I'm at the moment waiting someone to help me fix that save/load bug. I simply cannot fix it myself...

Okay, I'll go myself play that chapter 3 if it lags. No lags for me and I have been testing chapter 1, 2 and 5. That dig bug was in versions 1.4 and 1.4a. What version are you playing?

Didn't quite get that epic boss bug. Tell me more, please.

Haven't got to check but are the Combat King abilities still not being transferred over to further chapters on each character? Just want to make sure so I don't use Boss points since as of this version they no longer reset at each chapter to equal the amount of honor points.

Thank you very much for this awesome campaign. Please don't ever stop working on it until it's finished! It's been great fun playing your map and it's great to see that some great mappers like you haven't moved onto Starcraft 2 and provide us diehard Warcraft 3 fans with great maps to play!

Okay, I'll check out this bug.
You keep messing up the preview picture. :D

Yeah. Everytime I save the campaign the preview changes. So I always forget to put it back.

Richard? No where, I deleted him after the quest. Should it be somewhere? That doom lord thing will be fixed.

so it is impossible to complete this quest, because we can't defeat him for the requirement

Sr, I don't understand about the system and code, so can't help anything, but do you think these bug appear because of the different warcraft version (ex 1.23, 1.24b or e)
