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...

Once you get Fraz his windwalk skill basically kills all of the bosses except the Golemn In chapter 4
Cuz in chapter 2 Fraz owned all the bosses by hit N run, I think maybe bosses need to have a trigger or skill that can heal it self once the enemy disappeared or Fraz just need a more bit of blend time right at the scene of disappearance
Ps: so Esper can only be used in one chapter that it is captured?

Sounds like a serious imbalance. Hmm. Perhaps I should make the invisible time a lot shorter to avoid this happening? Like from 20 seconds to 6?

Espers can be only used once per chapter.

And here we go :)) i would post this sooner but i have some RL issues to take care of so beter now than never :)

well i'll start with beggining XD
good part was that you removed picture with name of chapter and that boring song :)
Intro cinematic is great and as i can see Phodom was quite buissy with his wife making another son XD
bad side of cinematic is that they are saying good bye in almost every word well if this was a romance novel XD my point is that outcome of Phodom's work can be seen already at the beggining so players can suspect that there will be a massacre performed on Phodom's family.

New packs are great especialy Fradz's Book of regeneration :)))

Another great thing is increased No of enemyes, and skill's improvement :)

What i found not very amusing was creep's critical attack XD
(I haven't seen that one coming XD)

More Boxes for items well that was one of the best things :)))

And Finaly Elite boss Murlok was at least 5 times harder to beat than Epic boss Arch Mage which i killed in 4 min's XD_(in first version i was fighting him around 20-30 min's)

Overal result is that i like this version three times more than previous i played :) But still you haven't fixed multiboard's flower counting :))

Now if you can help me a bit XD
well i don't know if there is a bug on multiboard or there realy are 6 mini bosses on chapter one. I defeated every enemy on whole map, dug all treasures, picked all flowers, finished all quests and side quests but still that boss point would be nice :))

I'll check whole map again to see if i missed something and after someone responds i'll proceed to chapter 2 :)

P.S. I defeated :Spider,Ogre,Big worm,Harpy,Sasquach or something well big gray man like thing XD,Golem,Bandit,Lifedraining Tief,Murlok. well looks like i found 6 of them well probably but still 5/6 mini bosses on multiboard :)

Here i go again :)))

well chapter two. there isn't much to say about it.
I personaly hate new fradz because of his hair :/
to balance the wind walk power decrease ambush dmg it is 250/lvl atm.
On chapter two i also got 5/6 minibosses.
there is a problem with stealing and digging or maybe i am mistaken...
total dig No is calculated by diging with fradz and Phodom or each by itself?
also stealing with Fradz was kind of stupid because i stole 2 out of 10 items.
Steal sucsses and woila you get nothing :D
And you dont get 10% critical after 4 steals..
Digging problem is that you can't dig a treasure on mountine...only that one left to me :)

Now chapter three....(yeah i was having a good time so dont bug me XD)
Crystal doesn't charge if creep is killed by elemental (in phodom's case hamer hains charge)
Two wraights are kind of retarded combination i killed both at same time but still they respavned......
after capturing esper it doesn't apear in book of esper's.

epiq puzzles:well 1 st one was really easy.....but XD
second puzzle: i reached both items on the left +1 life(wood) and low quality magic ball but i was unable to get omega orb peace and i ran out of time so i used a ring and paf you faild epic quest XD well good thing is that it's not game over XD

Nice add in this chapter are shop and combat guy :)

That's it for now :)

You're missing a Wuzz Shaman that appears near Phodom's home. I think there was something special about it and it may not appear if you haven't done some things first...

About stealing it bugs.

Well I'm doing okay. Last three weeks I've been working and doing school stuff. Still have next 3 weeks this same but then it's vacation and a lot more free time. I just got few days back my motivation and now chapter 7 is progressing pretty fast compared how much time I've each day for it.

But yeah, it will take at least few weeks before everything is ready. This is the biggest chapter of the campaign after all.

Hi, I've just done Chapter 6, and then it says that I've played the whole campaign, but on like page 10 (didnt read whole topic, that'd be too much O_O) people are on Chapter 9 or something. Is there something I missed or something that I can't play Chapter 7?
Also, the black merchant is pretty annoying. Most of the times I dont want to buy it/I dont have enough gold, but I can't skip it :S. Maybe you can make that skippable/ An option that you can disable the black merchant?

Maybe just like cinematics, that before you see him, you get like 3 secs to press ESC so you dont have to go through it over all the time, and the people that do want to buy it, have to wait 3 secs longer :p.


Edit: If only 6 chapters are added, how come the people at page 11 are already talking about chapter 9/10 :eek:?

You could have PMed me or something. Now I'll have to ask a mod to delete that post. Oh well.

And like Chimto said please don't use big letters. I got a big hangover this morning and now I got even bigger headache than before reading all that text of yours. Try to learn the basics of forum posting: no double posts(except if you want to bump) and proper english(remember small and big letters).

Anyway thanks for playing the campaign and that bug will be fixed. Hahhaa!

Maybe you could write a little "hint thread" or something what you think player should now when playing the campaign. You indeed have some good points. Here is a place if you are interested: http://tcocampaign.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=er2ihd84hdi99ic321dn8mcas6&board=14.0

Oh but now i understand, because im not a first time player to this campaign.
ive played it on its alpha versions, and as far I remember those versions included 2 more chapters, so i thought maybe its a bug.
Anyway, this time i played it the longest time ever, and i tried to go through everything and I must say, it is highly addicting and fun to play. SOME bosses though were wayy to hard, especially on the Six'th chapter, i even played on Child's Play difficulty and kept on dying almost all the time there.. :/
Now im going to restart the campaign and now im going to do absolutely everything, like finding all the items, secrets, and everything. Ill do at least 4-5 hours per chapter. :)
Overall: This is absolutely the best mod until now created for warcraft 3, i hope u get a gratitude from Blizzard for making this mod. Its very enjoyable and addicting. Im looking forward for the next chapters to come. :)
+2reps & Best of luck, knight26.

Yea this is like 258932th remade but this time I'm gonna finish the project.

As you have seen the campaign is far from perfect and needs great balancing and that's why I need help. Please tell me what bosses should be balanced that would help a lot. Also if you have other suggestions go ahead.

Thanks for playing the campaign.

Well since ive only tried one pair of spells, and just a bit taste of the campaign i can barely suggest more of what has been suggested..
But i could ask for a better move-speed. Sometimes it gets boring to have to take those long routes. But its not much of a problem, as it is time-waster so its a small suggestion :)
And u could make the items more powerful, instead of making the bosses weaker. it would be easier job for you. for example, instead of +25 strength, +10% chances and +500 health/mana boost items, you could make them +50 strength, +20% chances and +1000 health/mana boost.
Also something i noticed there is highly lack of mana to Fradz. from the abilities i picked, i had only one passive ability and that was the lightning master. all the rest costed a lot of mana. i know theres a pots system, but try to use the system when theres a tough boss fight :p.

I made those teleports to make things a little bit quicker. Should I make more movement speed items?

Actually it's a lot easier to balance bosses than items: there are dozens of bosses but hundreds of items. Of course I can balance both but then you must give specific items/bosses.

And about mana issue I don't know. Mana cost increases more level you give to an ability. All heal category abilities for Fradz should have high mana cost(they're all aoe abilities). Tell me an ability that have too big mana cost and I'll check it out.
