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 think it's a great campaign. Great terrain, music, effects, gameplay, etc.

But your English needs a lot of work. That's the only part about the campaign I don't like right now. ;P

There are also lots of small bugs and glitches. Like the wall of ice in chapter 3, which is still a worker. So you'll see an idle worker icon at the bottom of your screen. The shared vision of anti-cheat dummies. Lots of gates in map 7 (labyrinth) are vulnerable. Those kind of things.
But one bug especially is really annoying; Fradz (spelling?) still has the Hide ability, so he isn't able to cast all of his skills.

Edit: Never mind about that last bug. Just found out one of my items gives the Hide ability. :p

But you still really need to polish your campaign a bit.

Chapter Seven.
I tried to fight against this Magic Golem next to the king´s house. One second. The creature killed Galeoth. You should keep him behind the others when the battle starts. Arena: I cannot do all challenges. And where do I find all the other clients?

Hm, the Magic Golem quest won't even start up for me, even though there is an exclamation mark above the guy's head.

And the digging doesn't seem to work for me. If I click the item once, it keeps on digging on the same spot till the timer runs out. Can't do anything. :eek:
So I won't be able to get that quest item.

I have a feeling that you have a very old version. Anyways... Those are just minor bugs that will be fixed in next version. Never heard of that "Hide ability" bug. Can you tell me more about it?

I'd always been a fan of The Chosen Ones,
from the first release of this great campaign.
Glad you're back, Aero.
PS: Sorry for my poor english.
PS2: In fact, I had never found any boss that can stop me from beating the maps.

Yea it's a bit hard but once you get the idea you should complete it. There is a correct round you must see see and wait for the colors to see the path.

And by the way, longer you stay in that quest, longer the effects, the campaign will go buggy. Soon the "maximum amount of effects" will be reached and then you can't see anymore effects in that chapter... That's a gay bug I don't know how to fix and that's one of the reason I moved the whole puzzle to chapter 3(which is a smaller chapter).

Hello.

The Chosen Ones Beta 1.0 is now released. It's been more than a year from the last version. It is a big shame that I lost most of you guys while on this journey making the new version. Mostly because I had this army that took from me 9 months and lack of my motivation after the army. Yes, I lost my motivation after the army and I didn't touch the campaign for like 3 or 4 months.

However, last month bring me back and I have been doing this campaign once again. I had to "prune" some things in order to keep up my motivation and release the next version soon as possible. My decision was to fully fix the game-play(that I was making in army) and release only chapter 1 and prologue.

The new version contains so many new things that I have forgotten most of the new things while making this new version. What I can say sure is that the game-play is totally remade. The old cinematics and the story is almost as same as previous versions(well, few changes, but you won't see them in this version).

And now about the future, I'll start to release chapters one by one quickly. Now that the game-play is done I don't need to touch about that anymore.

So have fun playing and remember to give some feedback, bugs and suggestion. And now as the campaign is in Beta stage reviews about the campaign is fine.

Whoa, Beta release! Since I hadn't seen any new version in a while, I thought you quit making the campaign. I'm very glad I was Wrong :). Can't wait to play it!

Yeah, yeah, the project is still alive. I just remembered one pretty important thing I forgot to add to the campaign: Alchemist recipes. I'll probably make a new minor version either today evening or tomorrow and fix all bugs you gave + put those Alchemist stuff.

Also there are still the same old gay chapters pictures so I need to do something about them soon. :D

Aww... Brings back memories. Even though I could play this campaign for about 20min(crashed), it was enough to tell me that this is just an amazing piece of work. Guess I'm going to play "The Legend of Dragoon" on PS1. 5/5

Crashed? Wtf did the campaign crash? How did this happen? Never crashed for me when I was testing and none of the closed beta testers said about this problem.

I guess it's just because I use a Macintosh. Crashed after I cast Summon Fire elemental spell. I tried to cast it again at the very start and it crashed.

First of all, it's nice to see the release of the beta1.0.
But I don't think the insta-sell works as it intened.
When I click that onto an item on the ground/inside the inventory,
The item did disappear but there are no increase in gold.
Also there are cooldown for the luck checking which differs from the description.
In fact the luck can be checked from the campaign progress...right?

PS:No more buildings destroying D=
Anyway this is definitely the best campaign i've ever played in my six years of Warcraft III.

Edit:
For the fist chapter, The Top-left corner's digging spot contains a "Minor restoration potion" but the text appeared as "low magic ball".
I can see now that the digging sites' items have changed. good job.

Forgot to tell you some more things:
- Will the dialogue after fighting Talloon skippable in the beta?
- The Honor Shop stuff doesn't seem to be working. When my hero approached it, nothing happens.
- I bought some combat king tomes... But they don't appear near there. :(. And suddenly, I saw all of my purchased tomes... East of the Shaman!!!
- Could you make the items in the huts in ch. 1 Epic Boss fight to be a little more visible?
- Oh well, even 4 boxes weren't enough...

Yeah, some guys have already mentioned this. This ability is bugging nowadays and it's not much needed anymore because we have in all chapters shops + 4 boxes. I will remove this ability for now.

scrod said:

Yea you should see the luck from multiboard. You'll get your first luck tomes in chapter 7 meaning you will only have luck from items.

Yes.

chimto said:

That is true. Actually I didn't make that shop because and you can't even have 15 Honor Point for the first in chapter 1.

Yeah, this is a major bug. I checked the Combat Kings just after I released the current version but I guess I made some changes and now they don't work. I'll fix the problem and release a minor version very soon.

Very nice new ideas :thumbs_up:

But when I fought the epic boss I always lost 5 vitality points at once. Is it a bug or intentional?

And there's one more thing:
I don't really know much about mapping but there's a tool which changes the little icons from one format to another. You could use it to bring your attacktype-and armortype-icons into the right format.

Could you make the items in the fight with the archmage in chapter 1 to be a little more visible? And somehow when my friend was playing, he seemed to use cheats without being defeated. Also is the Silver Ring obtainable in chapter 4?

2. Phodoms fire abilities(R hotkey) isnt working and you have to click it.
3. Did steal get removed? I have the button to check steal chance but steal itself is missing.
4. -com 2 command doesnt work.

Please, don't report bugs from chapters 8-11. They haven't been remade yet and aren't recommended to play.
umm only one chapter?? I'm confused
Yes, Aero closed all other chapters.

There is a problem that prevents me to update the campaign to next version. I hope I can fix it soon as possible. About the chapter 2 and all other chapters, they are not yet made. I'm at the moment doing now chapter 2.

Yea, I can do that, but it's a bit hard.

And somehow when my friend was playing, he seemed to use cheats without being defeated.
What cheats? What difficulty?

Also is the Silver Ring obtainable in chapter 4?
I don't know yet. I had in mind to move Silver Set to chapter 5...

I have it in my campaign folder, but it doesn't show in Frozen Throne.
Is something wrong?
Other don't have the problem, but you do. Meaning: something is wrong with your settings.

umm only one chapter?? I'm confused
Yes, chapter 1 only.

- Galeoth's "ice mastery" dissapear when i start rot'afor chapter, it appears that every spell that has the same hotkey got dissapeared after some chapter
- Galeoth's box was missing after i finish the chapter in kargath
- when i fought the sphinx in ch 2 (not remember his name, it's very long :p), fradz's box was killed when the boss drop after the jump skill
Seems like old bugs from old versions.

Thanks for the bugs & suggestions. +rep

i tried it out and there are some things i noticed
1. when selecting the fire minion and phodom, you get an extra "attack" ability that might interfere with other skills when you get them
2. what happened to steal?
3. i tried digging on a dark spot but nothing happened, i had to pick another spot in the dark spot for it to work

im also trying out all the other abilities i usually pass over like ground zero, fire summons and phoenix combo for example

great campaign and i cant wait for the other chapters to be unlocked

some people just dont have the time to play a campagin that takes forever to complete, but would still like to play somthing with a well thought out story line. the very point of the cheats is to give players the option to complete a single player experience within thier prefered time. the players that would rather have a long and challenging campagin can simply choose to not use cheats. i just believe you should leave players the freedom to choose if they use cheats or not, instead of denying them thier blizzard given rights, so i hope you can reconsider, and allow cheats.

Even if you fail seeing that redsocres' post is about 2 year old I will answer to your question because many agree with you.

IN THE NEWEST VERSION, I HAVE ALLOWED PEOPLE TO CHEAT IN THIS CAMPAIGN. BUT ONLY WITH "CHILD'S PLAY" DIFFICULTY THAT IS MEANT FOR PLAYERS LIKE YOU WHO LIKE TO CHEAT AND TAKE THINGS EASIER WITHOUT ANY PRESSURES AND JUST WANT TO PLAY FOR THE STORY.

I can't say that more any better way. I'll hear every single's opinion and try to make the campaign better. That was one of the suggestions, and I made that system. More opinions?

Are you sure you are looking camapaigns instead of maps? They are in way different place.

:ogre_icwydt:
Well I am looking at the campaign section and its not there when I view it in the actual game, but I added it in the campaign section where it had to go.

:ogre_rage:
The fucking rage.

Edit: Well when I looked at the file in my folder, it said 0 bytes.
Wowies.
