Act I Level 1-25 content

The Protoss and the Tal'darim were fighting above restored Haven. Shortly after the Terran colonists sent up a battlecruiser from the surface, a sub-space Vortex opens up above the planet, engulfing several vessels. Trapped and stranded 85 years in the past, our heroes grow tired of waiting for reinforcements

The Tal'Darim have set up fortifications, while they gather enough materials to launch an assault on Aiur (and through their madness, destabilize time itself!)

Act II Level 23-50 content

After nearly defeating the Destroyer, our heroes head South in persuit. Chal'marr and his band of Templars have taken over a nearby Tal'darim outpost. This outpost will serve as a temporary sanctuary for Chal'marr's survivors while they investigate the Tal'darims recent expansion into the region.

Act III Level 45-80 content.

After a space battle with a Tal'darim mothership, Chal'marr's survivors (on General Larrens Battlecruiser) track the enemy vessel to Korhal. They come to find out that a powerful Ta'darim Archon is using their psionic powers to mind control High Commander Darren Shepperd, head of the Halif city munitions depot just outside of Korhal City. With a high ranking agent set up on Korhal, the Tal'darim now control enough forces to cause a power shift in the Korprolu sector.

Chal'marr's survivors must destroy this Tal'darim crash survivor that has the populace under his control.

Over the next few days ill work on the skybox in act 2 (how the screen goes white if you zoom out too far). Phased Zealot mercenary will get his lifestealing nerfed to about half. I'll also issue a quick terrain update for act 1.

I'd also like to address alot of the complaints i'm seeing on battle.net about act 2 mobs having 'too high hp' and 'not dealing enough damage.' Players are allowed to balance their own characters in any way they see fit, by stacking haste, crit, lifestealing or their primary stat (str/agi/int.) If players didn't spend 10-20 points on lifestealing then it wouldn't take 9 hours to clear act 2. With a properly spec'd character (with about 50% primary stat, 30% either haste or crit, and maybe only 2-6 points in lifestealing, you can clear all of act 2 in about an hour and a half.

I'm aware of the issue with heroes being frozen after traveling through a town portal. Just save and reload your hero to fix it. I also noticed that heros are loading with their stuff next to them instead of in their inventory. Some terrain isn't registering properly and makes some objects look 'raised up.' Particularly the Zerg start point, and teleporters. I will fix these issues soon. These issues all popped up overnight with the coming of the 1.5 patch.

I'm doing blizzard arcade icons & descriptions. Possible screenshots too for the 1.5 update. Act 1 will be alot simpler for beginners. I haven't actually played it since 1.5 yet.

I'd really like to work on this more, I just haven't had time. I kind of ran into a dead end when I hit the behaviors/buffs limit per unit (512 behaviors approx). I would really like to beat this limitation like how I did with bosses with a couple million health. I would also really like to reduce the bank file size even more to make for smoother multiplayer loading. Through 0.83-0.94c bank files were between 57kb and 100kb! Now they're only 8-11kb and it stores some mercenary data.

I'll try to do a new patch with new talents soon. I don't think Act 4 is going to work because the act 4 gear is bugged.

Tal'darim are a splintered faction of protoss fanatics. Some remained on worlds such as Monlyth after they had been mostly abandoned centuries ago, some Tal'darim are protoss stranded on Aiur after its evacuation.

The Tal'darim once worshipped Ulrezaj, and they would often imprison those who choose to embrace the ways of the Dark Templar. Some great lore on the Tal'darim at the starcraft wiki http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Tal'darim

I coulda swore the Tal'Darim are the good guys there the dudes that protect the artifacts right? This makes them seem so evil, which there not they might seem it in the campagin but thats just the perspective. Or i could be totally wrong and thinking of something else.

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don’t know.

act 3 is not working for you? I'll convert the 0.98d version of act 3 for you, see if that works. I'll have it posted in a few hours.
