The Chosen Ones 1.0

[DicoSuave]

Being unable to unstack items is a big bug, theres a fairly large list here http://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/12/(bug-thread)-version-1-0/ . welcome back king!

 

[giangdainhan94]

I hope one day this campaign be updated to Reforge version 2.0

I hope one day this campaign be updated to Reforge version 2.0

Agreed. Should have deserved a remake for Reforged, but I think you should play this campaign on a recommended version (1.26).

I heard that when you played this campaign on Reforged, there's quite an impressive amount of bugs that could ruin your gameplay experience.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

First of all thanks everyone for comments!

After so many years, you know you can count on me, right?

Heh heh heh! HELLO THERE!

There's a fatal bug that leads the game to crash in the same way described here: Problem with saveing the game

The error is "not enough storage available to process this command", it happens while saving... the cited command changes very often but most of the time is the execution of the object "Chunk" of warcraft3.exe...

Also, someone reported:

"and anyone experiencing the normal difficulty campaign's reward "25% more gold and exp" only works on chapter 1 on the next playthrough??

and I can't see the interlude on chapter 2 and chapter 3, my game point keep reset on this 2 chapters (currently 30k ish game point), maybe anyone care to share or have any info about this part??"

And I had experienced something similar so these were not a one-off...

GREAT having you back to fix your masterpiece!!!

That is strange bug and I didn't get it. I think I didn't get it because I played each chapter something like less than 2 or 3 hours. Maybe Warcraft 3 can't handle too much data and if you play more than 3 hours same chapter this starts to happen? Just too much data to save and load...

Hello Aeroblyctos,

I’ve read about The Chosen Ones and found it incredibly impressive. I’m really looking forward to trying it out! That said, I wanted to share a suggestion that could make the experience even more immersive: adding AI-based voice acting. Integrating voiceovers for key dialogues or cinematic moments could elevate the mod to a whole new level, bringing the story and characters to life even more vividly.

I understand that implementing this would require time and effort, but I believe the community would be more than willing to support such an update. The Warcraft III community has always been passionate about helping creative projects like yours reach their full potential.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication—I can’t wait to experience your project!

Best regards

AI voice acting? Oh well hmm. I think it takes too much time and when I was playing the campaign many times I thought that I should change many dialogues -- but I let many things just pass by.

Oh yeah have to check this out.

Yeah I first played with Reforged and it just was horrible. I also tried to open the campaign with Reforged but the whole Editor just crashed. After that I played the campaign with 1.27. version.

What's the difference between version 1.0a and 1.0?

 

[Ravager16829]

What's the difference between version 1.0a and 1.0?

It's just a small hotfix. The author will probably add more soon enough. Read the comment below:

Almost after 10 years I played my own creation. Had a lot of fun. One thing really annoyed me too much, so I made a new version.

• Chapter 9 boss armor fixed. Now when the armor reaches zero, it stays zero.
• There maybe some other changes. I continued fixing the campaign from a file that was made 2017.

 

[Alpha Orion]

Hello author, i'm the fans of this campaign
I'm still confused about the change section above
can you explain why there is so many version but now it says on version 1.0a but i see there version 1.9
so, which one is the latest? 1.0a or 1.9?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

What's the difference between version 1.0a and 1.0?

I fixed chapter 9 boss' armor and made some little changes in chapter 10.

Version 1.9? Where is version 1.9? I made 1.0a should be the latest which I made short time ago.

Also: now is the best time to request balance changes. I try to release 1.1 (major patch) as soon as possible, maybe within next week.

Just trying to fix all bugs found from this page: https://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/12/(bug-thread)-version-1-0/

Regarding balance, if you have the chance maybe you can take a look at heroes and their abilities. As someone who finished hardcore with pretty much all the abilities tried at least once, I must say certain abilities are really bad and since you have no way to test them, you can only regret after playing at least 1 chapter (2 chapters to see if your Galeoth build is okay). Phodom's fire orbs skill for instance, you dont ever want to pick that since Warcry and taunt skills are very good and it doesnt do anything. Soulburn's Imp is nice in only a couple chapters, later on it dies too quickly to ever make use of its healing Phodom on each hit received. Then again, since lowering armor is hugely important in this game you only pick Meltdown out of that 4 skills anyway. Battle Banner has nice benefits, but even though it is a ward it is not immune to enemy abilities, and since it has so low health it dies immediately because a lot of enemies have AoE damage. Spinning Death is pretty much useless because i think in TCO you are pretty much required to be on the move all times and you need to be on the move FAST. So, if an ability needs you to be stationary, it needs to be crazy good so that you can take risks with it. This is also true for Ultimate Sacrifice (kills Phodom, needs 2 health pots to at least be okay) and Galeoth's ultimate. When it comes to elementals (summons), same deal with the imp. Good in early, but completely useless in late chapters, since they dont to damage and get one-shot by every boss (especially item summons, Yurgimar reward is supposed to be "incredibly powerful"). Their skills are good, but you have 3 heroes with 6 skills plus active items and a separate panel for potions/espers. I dont think you need more micro in TCO, so summons are reduced to bloat only (summoner's amulet is bugged to affect enemies as well). Also, in general, right click Phodom and magic damage Fradz/Galeoth are not viable. Due to only certain skill being good every run eventually turns to the same lineup, Phodom as a magic damage dealer/tank and the others as right-clickers. For Fradz you have 3 skills only, Scissor Stab, Flash of Lightning and Teleport strike, the rest are just there, as fillers. Same goes for Galeoth, if you didnt pick his 2 passives or wanted him to be skill caster, good luck beating late chapters. Also, his Chill of the Frost Master ability heals enemies too when they are near.
When it comes to items, I dont know if it was intentional, but there needs to be more attack speed items i believe. It is the single most important element and only a couple items have bonus for it, such that you want to keep Fradz's starting item that gives %100 attack speed bonus throughout the game even though it has no other stats because it is such a huge buff and there is no other way to remedy it. Many items have on-attack effects too, which makes this even more sad. Speaking of item stats, a good number have crit chance or crit damage buffs, but heroes are unable to deal crit damage at all, so most items have redundant stats on them in case this cant be fixed. What's more, some hard-to-get sets/items have pretty underwhelming effects, such as Ultimate Orb or Azureus Set. 3500 damage on 20% chance is nothing in endgame. Something else I believe is undocumented on the buglist is that you can merge magic orbs and zyl orbs, so you can have Ultimate Orb earlier than chapter 10, it is funny though.
I tried to mention what I remember since I cannot play this at the moment and it's been almost a year since my last playthrough, hopefully others will correct me where I'm wrong or make additions.

It's too early to tell, but do you have plan to make this campaign compatible with Reforge 2.0? I've played this campaign many times even before ver 1.0 released, remembered most quest line without walkthrough . Thus it would be grateful if this campaign made playable in newest War 3 patch.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I'll soon answer to your comments but first this!

Bug fixing is progressing. I'll also add some Heroic Achievements and more.

One thing that bothered me, though. At the beginning it's as if the player is adjusting taxes. So the player has to choose abilities and item packs. Overall, I think the system isn't that great, because this should be done in the game, not before the game. Well, I won't go there, because too much work. However, I came up with an idea to speed up the start of the game. At the beginning, the player could choose their own stuff or a ready-made set that you could do. Do you want to have your name at the start of the game?

Make your own set!

• What abilities would you give to Phodom, Fradz, Galeoth and a bonus pack?
• What's the name of your set?
• Write a description. What are the pros and cons, what is the set good for and what advice do you give the player? Maybe even greetings for other players?
• For example for Phodom: Meltdown, Flame Explosion, Shield of Fire, Aura of Fire, Chaotic Rift and Avenger...

Max 1 set per player.
Max 800 characters per description.
There will be 12 sets in total.

I suppose I'll have to start to create my own set...

Super thanks for this comment. I have fixed and made some balances but I will make more balances because of this post.

I tried to open the campaign with latest version and the whole editor just crashed. Also I tried to play the game, but there were so many bugs I just gave up.

Also if I make the campaign to the newest version, I don't anymore "own" game and story. Blizzard rule is that they will then "own" the game and story. Well it's now Microsoft as Microsoft bought Blizzard. I think Microsoft already have too much in this world.

can we import someone loadout?

What do you mean?

 

[aeman]

What do you mean?

Someone create a loadout preset, posted it somewhere on a TCO oriented thread, we download it and run it in game

Never heard of that one. Maybe it's possible with new wc3 editor? Anyway I don't think that's a good idea to give other player saves...

What about updating it to 1.29? This is before reforge, meaning the whole "Blizzard will own(?) this game" is still not a thing yet.

This will allow it to have less bugs for Reforge Players (by closing in the gap in versions) and...... dunno, that's all I could think of.

By the way, really love this story. Thank you for making it

Hi Aeroblyctos,

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the campaign—it’s been an incredible experience! The emotional depth of the story, gameplay, bosses, and items was so well done. I had a great time min-maxing and crafting the perfect items and characters. It’s truly a work of Art!

As for the bugs, everything I encountered has already been mentioned on the list, so I didn’t want to waste your time by repeating them here.

I also wanted to share a couple of personal suggestions:

1. Crits are fun; big crits = big fun! XD

2. Summons are cool too. Some people have already suggested it, but maybe you could give them some buffs alongside other underwhelming abilities, or perhaps add some better items for them—if you have the time, of course.

3.I really liked the item, Family Picture for Phodom; it's a nice picture that reminds the player of Phodom and his family's tragic fate, but also symbolizes his love. The problem is its stats fall short compared to other starting items. 25% attack speed is not worth keeping at all, especially since you usually build magic damage on Phodom. I was thinking maybe you could make it a stackable item like some others, so it becomes stronger with every enemy killed .or perhaps it receives a buff every chapter , that way it's not about killing and more about keeping their memory.

Another way to do this is to make it part of Phodom's set, not one of the main six items, perhaps as a small easter egg added to the set when the main set is done and it gives it some extra stats or like a special family buff.


I'm really excited about the updates you're preparing and was wondering if you might have an idea of when they'll be released? I can’t wait to dive back into this masterpiece! XD

Thanks so much for all your hard work, and I wish you and everyone a happy and great year ahead. Merry Christmas!

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Hello!

Almost after 10 years a major update!

Changes:

• Now interludes are possible to see properly
• All Heroic Achievements are added to the campaign (totally 11, earlier 7)
• Critical strike is fixed and Galeoth now has static Critical strike (20% chance, 500% damage)
• All bugs from this topic are fixed: https://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/12/(bug-thread)-version-1-0/
• Also fixed some other bugs
• Also made a lot of balance changes, such as improved Magic orbs and Azureus set

Yeah I understand Family picture. Actually some starting sets are a bit unbalanced. Yeah I can change that one, hmm.

And yeah thanks thanks and yeehaaw.

well i dont mean to give other people save

Actually now I understand what you mean. Yeah that's one way but I already created "my way" and it's implemented to the prologue already.

2025 so far starting pretty strong.
I mean, we still have time for sun to vanish or something, but damn. 1.1 version of TCO.
I would never imagine to see the day.

..Yurgimar still haunts my dreams from time to time. God, what a cool boss.

Hello!

Speaking of.
I know that you most likely already had this answered - but i remember hearing you had plans on writing more for the story of this world you've created. Are those still a possibility, or not anymore?

Hmm I could try that. I just wonder where I can get that version.

There's a download link there to get back to 1.29.2 (the main link seems down but the alternate link seems fine)

Aside from that thread, please consider giving this one a try:

WC3 Download Archive (1.00 - 1.31.1 + BETA & DEMO)

Below are lists of WC3 installation and patch downloads. Please don't share any cracked or otherwise manipulated files. This list is only intended for people who already own the game, you still need a CD-key! 1.01c 1.04c 1.10 TFT: 1.20a; 1.20e 1.23a 1.28.0; 1.28.1; 1.28.2; 1.28.3; 1.28.4...

www.hiveworkshop.com

(Look under the "Game Files" tab)

You can also try either 1.30.1 or 1.30.4. They are still more stable versions, and I think, someone said 1.30 fixed a couple of bugs that persisted in 1.29, particularly the ambient sounds. Those versions didn't have such a serious bug that were introduced in 1.31, like missing hero inventory.

Remember that you'll still need a legitimate CD Key to play the game. And do NOT let your game be connected through Battle.net, or else you are forced to be on the latest patch of Reforged.

(Again, sorry for the off-topic segments, but still a good point to get any versions of pre-Reforged WC3)

Hey, i was looking for a way to post a bug report on your forum, but i gave up, and i don't have much to tell anyways, so i'll do it here. On both the 1.0 and 1.0a versions, after doing the prologue, choosing settings, etc, without using give-ups, once i join the first act of the campaign, phodom's skills are inaccessible. The reason is that every empty space in the character's spell screen is filled with "Tool tip missing!" which have draenei icons.
These should probably be some hidden stats on the character, but they're showing up and blocking the way of the actual spells. Inside them are some random spells, most of them repeat. 1st through 3rd are the same as the second screenshot i'm attaching, the 4th is empty, and the 5th is the third screenshot. The 6th tool tip missing is the slow icon, and it's filled with fireballs that aren't fireballs.

Hope you figure this one out, if you need more details just ask.

About story. Still possibility but still I was thinking that it will come in book format. But it will take take years and years. However, the world is built already. I first have to publish other stuff but this story will always be in my heart.

What version of Warcraft 3 you're playing? I updated the campaign with 1.27. Next I will try to update my Warcraft 3 to latest before Reforged and see what happens. If everything is good then I will release 1.1a but I have bad feelings about this...

Also I was thinking to add rest of the abilities to the heroes. I already planned the ideas which are kind of new - very new and refreshing. My imagination is still strong!

 

[Aeroblyctos]

So another update just to make the campaign work for version 1.29.2.

Okay so I tried the campaign with different Warcraft 3 versions. With version 1.31 the campaign bugged badly. With 1.30 the campaign bugged somewhat: multiboard wrong, music wrong in chapter 1 and some effects lag strangely. With version 1.29.2. everything seems okay. I tested chapter 1, 3 and epilogue. Also I found a nice post where you can download version 1.29.2.

I think you should play the campaign with version 1.29.2. Later version change Warcraft 3 too much and that creates bugs. Sad but true like Metallica. And it takes too much time and effort for me to bedug bugs that Blizzard created.

Thanks. I haven't played this map since I don't really like RPG maps so much.

Unfortunately, the later versions of Warcraft III than 1.29.2 aren't suitable for this map. I also read somewhere that the map is unplayable in Reforged (the very latest patch of the game, not the 1.31, which is the last TFT patch before Reforged) due to the lots of bugs and potential crashes. Certain hero skills somehow doesn't work because it will unintentionally activate the "Ultimate", as did the clickable items in the inventory (they were also affected by mana and the "Ultimate" bug). Also, if you load your saves, you won't be able to level up your skills and certain custom models were bugged for unknown reason (possibly due to the bug introduced in 2.0).

I wish you have an opportunity to update this map for Reforged, but just like 1.31 and 1.30, Reforged is bugged quite hard.

 

[matias371]

Hi boss, long time I didnt see you active on campaign, this its pretty good!!. I want to try 1.29 version, but camera zoom still reset after I dig, its there any fix for next patch?

I mean, I played all life like no zoom, but nowadays, wc3 has a lot of QoL changes and Im pretty sure we can benefit of zoom on late bosses.

Btw i discovered an easy way to resolve circles puzzle ch 7 (it works perfect at least until lvl 3). I think Tears said that there was like 10 lvls of that, it would be cool to add more lvls XD

The advanced zoom features only exists if you are on the latest patch of Reforged. I believe Blizzard added this starting on 1.33 patch.

Unfortunately, this campaign is suitable on 1.26 and 1.29 versions. Playing on the later patches than those versions are NOT recommended by the author due to the numerous bugs that were unresolved.

Unfortunately, this campaign is suitable on 1.26 and 1.29 versions. Playing on the later patches than those versions are NOT recommended by the author due to the numerous bugs that were unresolved.

I know about that. Im talking that this campaign has an internal option to zoom, even for previous patches to 1.33, but when you use another in game function, like dig (almost 10 times per chapter), camera reset to default. It would be cool if that doesnt happen at all

There's nothing I can do with the critical crashes to desktop when loading up the mission. You can try playing this campaign on either 1.26 or 1.29 versions.

Hello @Aeroblyctos, thank you so much for creating the campaign and even more for returning to it with updates! I have one question: I'm in chapter 5 and I have 7 lesser magic balls stacked and apparently I cannot use them for the greater magic ball recipe. Is there a way to unstack them? I looked through older pages but the responses were mixed. I'm on version 1.1 with Warcraft 1.29.2.

I've get the same error too, I think due to its huge memory space the campaign couldn't be loaded, I recommend to use a better version of map editor by downloading it from this site(hiveworkshop).

Getting End of an Era while having done everything else in the campaign was pretty satisfying, thanks for the fix.

2 bugs i noticed early in the campaign, playing on 1.29.2:
-The camera settings reset to the default after a cutscene. This is extremely annoying as cutscenes are very abundant, and they usually happen on the middle of bossfights too
-You still can only make greater bagic ball if you have a stack of exactly 5 lesser magic balls, and you cant unstack them. I remember that you could craft the greater magic balls with a bigger stack and the game would just remove 5 from the stack, but it broke in a specific version.

According to the notes, there are 11 Heroic Achievements (earlier 7) in 1.1 version, I wonder what's the other 4 new achievements added this time?

Three of them are completing heroes' exclusive item sets, i dont know the last one though

Thanks for letting me know, I guess the last one might be defeating the Chapter 9 epic boss?

What version of Warcraft 3 you're playing? I updated the campaign with 1.27. Next I will try to update my Warcraft 3 to latest before Reforged and see what happens. If everything is good then I will release 1.1a but I have bad feelings about this...

Also I was thinking to add rest of the abilities to the heroes. I already planned the ideas which are kind of new - very new and refreshing. My imagination is still strong!

I was playing in version 1.27b

That cant be it, i would have gotten it otherwise.

Truly a legend of its time and receiving an update with bugs fixing and compatible with 1.29.2 ? Counts me in!
So far been playing on 1.29.2, version 1.1a, Hardcore and made it to Chapter 6. Here are some thoughts of mine and bugs I encountered

Overall

• Phodom and Fradz still can't crit for some reasons, But good news is Galeoth can! You might want to take a look at it again.
• I don't know if i have skill issues or Bosses cast skills way too often (invulnerable while doing so) which is hella annoying. I don't mind dodging but having so little time to do damage to them
• Heroic Achievement still displaying 0/7 instead of 0/11 (i wonder what's the new 4)
• The camera keeps resetting everytime I dig things/entering cutscreen which is quite frustrating.
• I see some new riddles, I think? They are nice addition to gets you to pay attention to the game mechanics/Lores
• Some abilities could use some buffs/reworks. Some outshines the others or some are straight up useless (Looking at you High Strike - animation lock me and put me into awkward position while doing less dmg than AAing)
• Multiboard still bugged out after certain actions and messed everything up until I swap page then it's normal again.

Chapter 1

• Music overlapping when you're near the village.
• The Epic Boss sometimes starts waving his hands and nothing happened...?
• Often right after finishing casting a skill he instantly casts another one after.

Chapter 2
- Epic boss: I somehow magically died in the cutscreen when phase transitioning. Probably due to the boss still spamming his claws attack and I happened to be put in front of it.

Chapter 3

• Galeoth's Vision go poof when he died. But luckily there's a new command to fix that
• Galeoth's Magical hammer still lit up the area it was used on.
• Epic boss: Again. I died magically during cutscreen because the boss was doing something right after it died (the black nova thingy he keeps spamming for a bit)

Chapter 4

• Shouldn't the 3 Dragon Slayers have their item bonus? what's the point of their items if they gives nothing XD
• Giving the sword back the merchant doesn't increase your Moral. But keeping it decrease your Moral.

Chapter 5

• Flowers display 26/25.
• Tharo seems to be the only one that inherite stats from his items
• Elite Boss: STOP TELEPORTING AND BEING INVICIBLE DAMNIT.
• Epic Boss Phase 1: For the love of GOD. Can this guy go on 5s without teleporting away/disappearing
• Epic Boss Phase 2: Worst. Phase. Ever. A lot of disappearing and invulnerable skills in a short interval.
• Epic Boss Phase 3: I don't have much issue here.

Chaptet 6

• Ohhhh Spooky missing texture Green Cubes.
• Magic Orb can ruin the Deathless puzzle as they destroy the unit entirely (if your magic orb killed them now good luck having to kill every single one of them with the Magic Orb proc to complete the puzzle)
• My eyes hurts and i got distracted by those green cubes during Elite boss haha.
• Main boss bugged out and doesn't try to do anything but AAing if you dmg him too fast.
• Epic boss: If you use Esper during the fight. The boss is unable to teleport your hero to a room but will still ping it on the map.

Chapter 7

• Last boss of solo league crash me if I stall the fight too long. I used Fradz to do it.
• Aunction House items will bug out and you won't be able to get it anymore if you enter and leave too fast (it's stuck on the guy inventory)
• Magic Garden sometimes have 0 flowers in it and I wasted 75 gold for nothing.
• Main boss got stuck as Fireballs and won't return to be attackable unless I waste 1 life and tank the cluster of fireballs gathered in 1 spot (ouch)

Chapter 8

• Has same music overlapping problem as chapter 1
• I can just skip the Crystal golem quest and use Fradz invisible to get the luck behind the shaman guarding it lol.
• Behemoth invulnerable time is too long. the Tornados didn't do much damage anyways
• Is the Ogozama 10k mana for a mediocre summon intentional? Maybe it's strong as heck if i'm using Summoner set but still it's very hard to summon him even on Galeoth.

Chapter 9 (this is where difficulty spikes REAL hard but damn I had fun doing the last 2 chapters)

• Main quest 4/7 (Isn't it supposed to be 6/7 ?)
• When doing Arzodius quest. There's a number 9 next to the crystal - I wonder what's that number means.
• The epic boss was hella challenging and really fun - I love it . Have to reload because i'm stupid and picked 0 mana and got destroyed utterly.

Chapter 10

• Level 90-100 Monstrocity (Mighty one) is bugged and won't attack at all
• Are the ground that Mother spawns remain there forever? I might screw up a bit and made it spawns a lil bit too much while trying to grind the tentacles for levels
• Would be nice if we have a way to stall the fight long enough to kill Uumut without skipping it. I spent 30 mins hitting and running to avoid killing the last standing Death Knight which wasn't fun. I ended up using the Poison sting on him (real handy, Prob did all the hard works)
• Holy moly that hp.... Man's stronger than dragons.
• Lots of insta-kill from Super Uumut and buncha reloading - killing him requires me nearly 2 hours wth lmao. Now I can't see anything.
• what's with the v when Hekhar absorbing the Wisps
• God forbid me for leaving items on the ground because they decided to disintegrate if I leave it far too long.
• Oh boss can steal your item.... Wait boss stealing MY items?! lucky thing I kept my items and didn't sell many important ones.
• My stats are all over the place ???
• Those green tiles heal him like crazy. I honestly have no idea how people can beat it without save scumming.
• I DID IT. I DEFEATED THE EPIC BOSS

I'll keep updating as I progress!

yeah, always crash there when i load the saved game but i just restart the mission from the beginning of that chapter and it worked

Glad you have already solved it.
Even Reforged users are still encountering this kind of issue after save-load things, although I don't really recommend playing this campaign on Reforged due to the couple of unresolved bugs. Restarting the mission from the beginning seems to be the only solution.

 

[TerrakionSmash]

try the version 1.29, it's been more than a year since then so i might be misremembering what i did to fix it but i was wrong about the game version and it WAS the problem for me. Unfortunately you will have to give up your current saves and start over, and some things will be broken due to the patch not being wholly compatible with TCO, but you will at least be able to complete the game without worrying about crashes (you can still crash in the epic fights in chapters 9 and 10, but they are still doable). And the broken things arent gamebreaking either, though take care to do the doomguard portal quest in chapter 5 before doing any other.

Is one of the broken things a sideways stat screen? I have a 1.30 and that version features a broken characters page so I can't see magic damage and how much damage my spells do.

 

[TerrakionSmash]

Almost after 10 years I played my own creation. Had a lot of fun. One thing really annoyed me too much, so I made a new version.

• Chapter 9 boss armor fixed. Now when the armor reaches zero, it stays zero.
• There maybe some other changes. I continued fixing the campaign from a file that was made 2017.

Was the Chapter 9 bug your only changes?

i wish i had known you would update, i would have made a list of all honestly. I remember someone else who had made a quite extensive bug list already though, unfortunately i dont remember where i had seen it since it's been a year since i last played. If i find it i will send you the link or the list.

I think the massive bug list was in this thread. Sorry I just found out. Hoping this version works. If I guessed correctly, it should be searchable in google via site:www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/the-chosen-ones-1-0.83535 and some keywords of bugs we remember. I remember the name of whatever gives more attack damage and magic damage of Fradz's spellbook heal is swapped and Faster Heal and Stronger heal spellbook of Phodom is also swapped in a different way and also Summoner's Amulet bug and box swapping resetting stacks to zero bug and sometimes making items disappear.

I don't know if i have skill issues or Bosses cast skills way too often (invulnerable while doing so) which is hella annoying. I don't mind dodging but having so little time to do damage to them

Oh. That's what's been happening to me in 1.30. I don't seem to get this in 1.26 in the old 2016 version.

Galeoth's Vision go poof when he died. But luckily there's a new command to fix that

What's the command?

 

[BlasterSans]

Oh. That's what's been happening to me in 1.30. I don't seem to get this in 1.26 in the old 2016 version.

That's interesting. Maybe war3 version made the campaign bugged out or working as intended (?)

What's the command?

Command is -inv
There are also some new commands in the Game Panel you can check out with (although it's not much just some exp disabling stuffs incase you use swapped out Mega/Giga/Tera Rings to avoid bugs)

Please refrain the original author's comments above. That said, 1.30 onwards aren't suitable for this campaign due to the bugs. This also applies to Reforged.

Also, please move your first post into the second one with the "multi-quote" feature. It feels not good if you have a separate posts in this forum.

 

[TerrakionSmash]

Just to clarify, I had the old 2016 version have too many casting invulns in 1.30 but not 1.26/7. (I remember this specifically on the Archmage. Don't remember much else.) Anyway, Ground Zero with Fire Aura and the heal that damages and Power Orb took care of that archmage for me.
Also, I realized there are multiple versions, what's the recommended/latest version? Edit:nevermind, it's in the download page. Didn't see dates in the zip file. It's 1.1a
