Aeroblyctos presents 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...

as to that lighting inversion thing its happened to me on a few other maps so it could be just my problem. but its consistent on those maps and those maps alone. i have no idea what triggers it and in your case its no big deal. as an item effect it would be horrid. the normal ground cant be seen so its almost impossable to navigate. oh and for that same chapter, chapter 5 i didnt see any title screen. music was there but no picture. love all the Legend of Dragoon music to. i love that game, and did i hear FF7 music? what else did you use?
1.In Chapter 2 I find the lighting stone and the electric stomp,where is the Thunder stone ?
2.When the hero carry the Maragath's set,the set can't increase the hero's armor.
3.The electric stomp,chain lighting stomp,thunder stomp can't combine the lighting book.
Thunder Stone, as in one of the stones needed to make Excalibur? Then there is no thunder stone. Excalibur is made of an old sword and 5 elements: fire, lightning, ice, dark and poison.
diggings an issue. i dig in a spot and it begins to dig in that spot repeatedly untill the time runs out. for the races when i won both the first and second race it gave me the same prize and they both spawned at the first guy.
I like that campaign but it's boring to see the same cinematics 2 or 3 times without a chance to skip them. Please make them skipable indeed it's a hard pain if you forgot to save.
As I have mentioned in "Things what I do in future!"-list I will do it sooner or later. I have been thinking to do it to beta 1.0.

About the "lighting inversion" I don't know anything about it. It's strange that you have this. I don't even know where to start looking this kind of bug. But it can be perhaps a new item magic item called "lightning prison" but it will only happen when you cast the spell.
I use Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, legend of dragoon, nightwish, dream evil... musics.
onlyagame said:
1.In Chapter 2 I find the lighting stone and the electric stomp,where is the Thunder stone ?
Hmm... there's many secret bosses. Ogre boss, troll boss, etc. But later I will put there elite and epic boss(currently I have made elite boss'(Murloc Chieftain) area at right-up corner, but it's not ready yet!).
He said he would do skippable cinematics for Beta release.
-Hypnotic.
Btw, is there a Magic Orb in Kar'Gath? I did not see one, I presumed 11 parts, 1 for each level?
Some levels have more then 1 if I remember right? I could be totally wrong, I don't really remember, I'm restarting so I can go back and get all the items I missed do to bugs (and lack of a stash)
I know that in levels such as 7, you will get two but that's the one from Xvareon, Galeoths level (in his inventory) and the one in some random body of water in Terdoom.
no he doesnt drop anything. and could you give us, or me a list of everything that can be found in the digging area? i want to see if they can all be found. that is if i can get the digging thing to work right. and i found out that for the lighting inversion thing that it only happens if light quality is set to low.
So he doesn't drop anything? I looked a bit through the map editor and from what I understand, the Black Hooded Man should drop Ruby Jewel. Aero, you tell me if I'm right and if I am, then see what you can do about this.
Magic Orb at chapter 6 can be found from Skeletal Mage(optional quest 1, if I remember right). It's almost in middle of map(east side). 1 magic orb/chapter.

I have a question for you guys. When you kill the Black hooded Man at the end of chapter 6, does he drop anything?
Thanks guys for comments, I'm bit busy now and I go to eat & then I go to buss that will carry me to my home(HELSINKI!)!
Slid3r, thanks for your excellent comment at page 18. I will answer & fix all bugs/suggestions you mentioned when I'm at home. I will be in home at 20:00 Finnish time(still 9 hours). Also, you are one of my favorite "bug find" guy and I will surely give you big credits at the prologue/epilogue.
wait, what? skeleton mage is suposed to drop a magic orb? he didnt drop one for me for some reason. mucst be a glitch like the hooded man not droping anything in the same level. same glitch maybe? at least you can avoid the glitch by making the orb a quest reward from that quest instead of a drop from the guy. you could do the same thing for the ruby that the hoohed guy is suposed to drop. just have it as the reward for the other optional quest.
ok...you are a beast at map making...unbelievable i cant wait until its finished!!!! +rep
I love the epic movies you put in the game to....'but how long will it last' sweet!
Chapter 3:
-When I have 2 units selected and I cast Frost Armor on one of them, their icon turns red. You receive the +6 armor, but it counts as a negative effect.
- In the ice book, instead of Frost Armor, the name and description is from cripple. The effect is still +6 armor, so it doesn't affect the gameplay.
Chapter 4:
-It's the only chapter (as far as I remember) in which the map is already explored.
-Sometimes the attack speed of the hero changes from chapter to chapter. I'm only sure in chapter 4 and 5. At the end of chapter 4, Phodom had fast attack speed. At the beginning of chapter 5, the same Phodom has slow attack speed.
Chapter 5:
-If you cast Frandz's Thunder on one of the Living Trees, it's color will become green after the spell effect has gone. Also, the mana shield does not activate.
-I'm not sure at which point if the chapter, Frandz's head turns towards Phodom and looks at him, wherever he goes. I noticed this after I finished the message quest.
-Not all the flowers that you put on the graves activate the triggers.
Chapter 6:
-I see that there are no black gates anymore. Then update the "Esc" map.
-On some portions of terrain inside Kar'gath, specifically on red stone between a wall and grey stone, I receive damage like I am outside, on the lava.
-Some gates are not invulnerable and can be destroyed. I've found 6: the 2 (red and blue) leading to the dark messiah, 1 leading to the vampire lord, 1 green gate leading to a potion shop and Kita's puzzle, 1 red gate to a room with purple stream inside, 1 blue gate leading to an empty room in the north-west corner of Kar'Gath. For this last gate, I had the blue key and it didn't open.
-The mysterious potions shop near Kita's puzzle belongs to the enemy, it's not neutral like the others and you can't sell items to it.
-onlyagame already said that the iron gate doesn't open.
-I haven't found the magic orb on this level. Is it behind the iron gate?
Chapter 7:
-In the Magic Garden, if a flower appears too close to the guards, you can't pick it up because you are asked if you want to leave or not, then moved to your initial position.
-The 2 shops near the synthesis shop belong to the enemy, make them neutral.
-The location of Nuolija from the Mysterious List is not quite accurate, better say he's northwest of Nasho Pond.
-Next to the Giant Statue, there is a Commander with an exclamation mark above his head, but when I go near head, I don't receive any quest.
-After you complete the "Help!" quest, only Frandz receives a level.
-Archeon's Set doesn't increase the armor by 1 and damage by 6 like it says in the description.
-Azureus Belt doesn't increases damage by 2 instead of armor.
-Items from the Synthesis shop that are supposed ti give a big regeneration don't give any regeneration at all (Holy Stump, Orb of Nature, Bless of Nature).
Anthonoiu's Set does not give enough gold when sold.
-Check the end of Tharo's Set description, there are some extra letters.
-Thunder, Electric Stomp and Chain Lightning won't combine. I think this bug might have been already reported. If so, sorry for repeating.
-Food, jewels, summoning items and other stuff work while they are in the boxes too, but the vitality booster only works while on heroes. Could you please make it so that is works while inside the boxes? Also, my personal opinion is that the cost of 3000 gold is way too much. With 3000 gold you can buy 3000 bananas that will last you for 4500 minutes, which is 75 hours. I don't think the whole campaign takes 75 hours, let alone from chapter 6 to 11. And you find a lot of food on the way too, so it's not worth buying it.
-There are 2 Guado Armors in the game with different effects: one is in Fradz's inventory at the beginning of chapter 2 and the other is at the Honor Shop.
By the way, the skippable cinematics will be in the next version or when all the maps are finished?
Chapter 1:
I spent damn near an hour trying to get to that damn murloc leader =/.
Chapter 3:
The Ice spell book has a mislabeled spell, you called it cripple instead of the spell name.
Chapter 5:
Sometimes when trying to synth items you have to get all the ingredients, the recipe and then walk back and forth 3-4 times before the game will register your recipe. Why doesn't it just register the first time around? Also, when you complete the pumpkin quest, it says you just completed the magic heart quest.
Chapter 8:
-Rikhano's Strength Jewel can be bought at a shop near the Synthesis shop and can also be found in the destroyed fortress.
-Frandz's Sword Dance is level 1.
Chapter 9:
-There's no magic orb.
-I think that the change for Holy Stump/Orb of Nature/Bless of Nature to heal carrier is 100%. Every time a fight a new enemy, I get healed on the first hit I receive.
-Rikhano's Strength Jewel has a 100% chance to give +100 strength when hit? If it has, then it would be better if you could activate yourself the item and choose when to receive the bonus. If you are hit by an enemy that is easy to kill, you have to wait 5 minutes if you want the bonus in a boss fight for example.
-The description for Axobada's Helmet is incomplete, probably because it was too long. Same thing for the completed Rikhano's Set.
-Bravery Medal also adds +10 to agility, which is not mentioned in the description.
Chapter 3:
-When I have 2 units selected and I cast Frost Armor on one of them, their icon turns red. You receive the +6 armor, but it counts as a negative effect.
- In the ice book, instead of Frost Armor, the name and description is from cripple. The effect is still +6 armor, so it doesn't affect the gameplay.
Frost armor still bugs? I check it out once again!

Fixed. Yes there is a little attack speed problem but I will fix it in no time!

I will make it work with boxes also. I made food cheap so people won't rush the campaign. So you think you get too less gold? Should I increase it? How?

Which chapter did you see that other guado armor?
It will be done with same time improved english. Now is 1.9. => 2.0 with chapter 10(1-2 weeks when done) => 2.2 with chapter 11(1 weeks when done) => 2.3 epilogue(1 weeks when done) => beta 1.0(1-4 weeks when done).

Because: Amethyst Jewel + Ruby Jewel + Sapphire Jewel + Topaz Jewel = Diamond Jewel(This is a combine of four powerful jewels: Amethyst Jewel, Ruby Jewel, Sapphire Jewel and Topaz Jewel. This jewel countains all of those jewels powers. Grants the Hero and friendly nearby units 25% faster movement speed, double life regeneration, double mana regeneration and increases attack speed by 25%.). Then: Diamond Jewel + Crystal Jewel = Obsidian Jewel(An aura that gives friendly nearby units a 200% bonus damage to their attack damage.). Now you can understand little better why people are trying to get that jewel?

@vitality booster: My idea was to make the booster cheaper. I think you get enough gold.
@sword dance: Frandz has Sword Dance level 1 in chapter 8. Phodom and Galeoth have their abilities at the correct level.
For the Ant'Rax Armour it says it give 10 Armour and 25% Damage reduction. 10 Armour give around 35% Damage reduction on it's own, does this mean it give a further 25% on all attacks against your hero? I am confused.
-Hypnotic.

It's like 35% + 25% => 60%. But that armor thing is bit odd, perhaps someone know how to edit it?
Currently making chapter 10. In that chapter there is "proper" english. I try to check that the english is perfect(but I will fail of course ). So don't be frightened if the grammar is little "different type". I use dots in right places, etc.
Here are current credits of alpha testers. Please tell me if you are not in the list. Early testers are from alpha 1.0 to 1.4. Middle alpha testers are from 1.5 to 1.8. Late alpha testers are from 1.9 to beginning of beta test(+page 13).
Please tell me if I have forgotten you. Also tell me, if you think your name should be in "Excellent Alpha Testers"-list. I may add you, if you has been helpful for me.
Btw, I'm just curious, but have anyone used Resurrection Phial or Strong Resurrection Phial? Do they work properly?
For the synth items you might try changing it to something along the lines of automatically combining when the recipe and the required materials are all in the same inventory. An if/then statement should pretty well cover it, and then you won't have to walk back and forth trying to get it to trigger the synth
i got a better idea. how about make it so the recipe is the item it self but requires all the requisite items to buy. think of it as buying the item you want where the price is the recipe ingredients. i think ive seen it done. means you dont need an extra space in your inventory for the recipe to. oh and it makes sure your by the synth people when you synth as well. no buying the recipe and synthing the item somewhere on the road as your method would allow.
Why would it really matter if you "synth on the road"? By doing that your wasting precious inventory space that could be better used hauling around the copious amounts of crap there is to collect on every level.

So what would be the event? Currently it's "if you have specific items and you enter close enogh to blacksmith" items will combine.

Hmmm... I'm not 100% sure what ya mean, but when you are combining items it's not about the item slots because you are just standing next to blacksmith and bla bla.

I think you should add caves and lighter/darker colours to the digging area. With possibly a few 'Elves with Axes' for a more realistic effect there. I think gold coins should also be discoverable there.
-Hypnotic.
Regarding what Kupownage suggested, the items combining automatically, I have an idea: events: Unit - A unit owned by player 1 acquires an item, conditions: triggering unit has (recipe + required items), actions: remove those items, give triggering unit (item from recipe).
As I've said before, I have little experience working with the map editor, so you should tell me if this is a good or a bad idea.

Hmm, the digging area looks quite plain - I was suggesting adding certain doodads like a cave so it looks like an actual excavation (Digging) area.
Keep up the good work,
-Hypnotic.
hmm i still havnt finished it...and so far its awesome...its a real challenage, the only thing i dont like is, hero inventory, though i guess you really cant have a floating boat next to you whilst you fight, it just seems really annoying having to go at the very start of your map to store to orbs, but i feel everything else is perfect.
p.s (did you use zelda music? some themes seem really familiar, eg. chapter 1 resting at your house, lets just hope koji kondo doesnt play wc3 haha!)
hmm, quiet. personaly im waiting for the new version before i move past chapter 11. i want to go from the beginning but it would be a waste to sinse ive already gone over everything in there. so ill wait untill the next version after buggs get fixed and stuff added
Thanks, and I'm far from over! Just give me some suggestions to make this campaign better.

As I said before, next version will come very soon. I'm currently fixing bugs I found yesterday and after that I go test again! Perhaps 1-2 tests & bug fixes and then 2.0 version is out!
Some information about chapter 10:
- 1 optional quest currently.
- 4 main cinematic.
- Axobada fight.
- Currently about as long as chapter 2 or 4. Something between those.
I found a few things:
In Chapter 7, the quest secret conversation, in the room where Azureus' Sword is, if you walk to the bottom of the room you will get shot with arrows (possibly where 'death bringer' is)
Also, how do you go into the room with all the barrels?
Hm, by the way Fradz dissapears during the conversation with the king but his green circle remains on the floor where he would have been standing.
