  (cutscene only)

The **Stone Stomper,** also known as the **Stone Smasher** is the cousin of the Water Whirls. Their physical appearance resembles a talking pile of rocks.

## Appearance

Stone Stompers are light brown, walking mounds of rocks, indicating their rock elemental nature. Their bodies are adorned with a light covering of moss. Additionally, small, fully grown trees can be found in various spots on their bodies. To complete their look, they sport a Stone Hat on top of their heads.

## Collecting

When the player approaches the Rock Elementals, Zephyr or a Wind Warrior can pounce on a Stone Stomper to awaken it. Once awakened, the Stone Stomper thanks the heroes and returns to their homeworld. However, if the player's Category Level is too high, both the Stone Stompers and Water Whirls will be sucked into the tornado.

## Origin and History

Rock Elementals, originally warriors of Omegaton were banished to Earth forcing them to sleep in an eternal slumber. Known for their earthly abilities to perform powerful pounces, they lend their abilities to Zephyr and his Wind Warrior companion for the purpose of capturing Fire Flyers and awakening his sleeping brothers that are trapped on Earth.

### In game

In the level Carnival Chaos, the Stone Stomper appears from behind Zephyr, who at first is startled by the rock elemental, but is reassured that he is an ally. He teaches Zephyr the Stone Stomp, a powerful move that Zephyr can use to completely demolish objects within a small distance using his tornado. In return, he asks Zephyr to awaken his sleeping brothers by utilizing the Stone Stomp move.

### Future Timeline

After the events of Tornado Outbreak, Nimbus leads the Stone Stompers and the Water Whirls back to their homeworld, suggesting that the alternate ending is the canonical ending to the game.

## Trivia

* Whenever the Stone Stomper speaks, the faint sound of rocks and gravel can be heard.
* According to concept-art files, the original name for the Stone Stomper is Rocky.
* In the intro cutscene for Carnival Chaos and the map Showdown with Omegaton, the Stone Stompers are referred to as Stone Smashers.

### Type

Goal

The **L.O.A.D. STARR** (Lightweight Object Amalgam Device) is a machine given to the Wind Warriors by Omegaton. It detects the presence of Orbs and provides cloud cover to protect the squad from radiation.

Nimbus is particularly skilled at operating it.

## Origin and History

The L.O.A.D. STARR is first introduced in the Secret Origin cutscene. The device can collect and hold captured Fire Flyers along with generating cloud cover to protect the squad from radiation.

In the opening cinematic for Ringling Village, the L.O.A.D. STARR gets partially damaged after a Wind Warrior bumped into Zephyr, who was carrying the device. By the end of Ringling Village, Zephyr manages to repair the device within several hours.

The L.O.A.D. STARR is used one last time in The Final Ending to send the Stone Stompers and Water Whirls back to their homeworld.

## Trivia

* Early screenshots indicate that the L.O.A.D. STARR's name was originally called Storm Cell.

## Trivia

* He was modeled and animated by Gene Blakefield.
* The model was created as an joke, but was added in the final game.
Music

**Tornado Outbreak**'s interactive soundtrack consists of around seven different tracks. Each track plays depending on the state the player is in.

* ***S1***: Usually one to two instruments combined to form a simple melody.

* ***S2***: Another instrument is added. This also depends on the level. In Chicken Con Carnage, a bass is immediately added during this track. You can still hear the **S1** track.

* ***S3***: Typically when the bass instrument comes in. The **S1** track now plays more softer.
	+ In most cases, S3 is usually the track containing the drum layer.

* ***S4***: This is where the drums typically come in. In Chicken Con Carnage, the guitar is added.
	+ Double Wide Damage, High Roller Blowout, Carnival Chaos, and Ringling Village are an exception to this.

* ***S5***: String Instruments or Other Instruments can be heard in the music. These range from flutes, violins, cellos, basses, and violas.

* Tracks such as Main Menu, Out of Time, Boss, and Totems Mix are the only four tracks that don't have an interactive mix.
Carnival Chaos (Outro)

A group of injured and exhausted Wind Warriors.

**Carnival Chaos (Outro)** is the tenth unlockable story related cutscene in Tornado Outbreak. The cutscene is automatically unlocked once the player completes Carnival Chaos.

## Summary

One moment, Zephyr and his army of Wind Warrior experience an earthquake which results in the ground opening beneath them. During the process, four different Wind Warriors get trapped below ground.

Eager to continue the mission of finding Omegaton's orbs, Zephyr promises the Wind Warriors paid vacations if they managed to quickly recover.
Noclip mode

Noclip mode, also known as Noclipping mode is a feature present in all three versions of Tornado Outbreak. The mode allows the player to freely explore around the map without being stunned by the sunlight.

There are two methods of enabling Noclipping mode in the game. Setting the **weatherphase1' *to*** *weatherphase0**, or alternatively editing the*** **growmission *file by changing the hex value from*** *1* to **2**.

### Limitations (weatherphase)

Noclipping mode via weatherphase doesn't work on Roadside Destruction, the tutorial portion of Chicken Con Carnage, and Showdown with Omegaton. Additionally, the player won't be able to destroy objects that are within the sunlight.

## Noclip mode (Preview)

If the map is running inside this mode, the player will be unable to control Zephyr. Players use the left stick to move the camera around while the right stick is used for rotation. The Left and Right triggers are used to control the Z-axis of the camera while the left bumper is used for speeding up the camera's movement.

On the Wii, these controls slightly differ. The Nunchuck is used for rotating the camera while the Wiimote's D-pad is used to adjust the movement of the camera. The buttons 1 and 2 are used to adjust the Z-axis of the camera while the Z-button is used to change the camera's speed.

The PlayStation 3 port on the other hand, lacks the ability to adjust the Z-axis. Like the 360 port, players use both analog sticks to control the camera's rotation and movement.

***Note:*** Roadside Destruction is the only level that doesn't have this implemented feature.
Rest and Refit

## Summary

The Rest and Refit order is one of the most important orders in CAOS. It serves two purposes, to rapidly regenerate lost cohesion and more importantly to allow the player to replace lost strength points. The Rest and Refit order can be executed anywhere - even in enemy zone of control, though a unit executing a Rest and Refit order will defend at half combat value if attacked. Additionally, units executing a Rest and Refit order stack at half value. Thus a unit that usually stacks for 2 points would only stack for one.

### Replacing lost strength

Units that have been given a Rest and Refit order can replace lost strength points so long as the appropriate replacement points are available within their command hierarchy. All units draw from their immediate parent's replacement pool, so a Regiment will draw from its Brigade or Divisional Headquarters in most cases. Divisions draw from Corps Headquarters and so on.

Formations can replace as many lost points per turn as they have attachments. So a formation with 7 attachments could replace 7 lost strength points in one turn while a unit with only 1 attachment can only replace 1 at a time.

### Limitations of Replacement

Units in battlegroups can only take replacements if the battlegroup is eligible for integrity and thus has a parent unit. Battlegroups formed from units with different parents cannot take replacements because they do not have a parent unit to draw from.

Units can never replace more strength points than their max strength. So a unit with max strength of 7 can never have more than 7 strength points.

## Details

### Advantages of Rest and Refit

* Allows units to draw replacements for lost strength points.
* Rapidly regenerates lost cohesion.
* Units in Rest and Refit stack at half value.

### Disadvantages of Rest and Refit

* Defends at half strength.
* If a Resting and Refitting unit takes a replacement then it will not be able to move that turn.
Tank

A **tank** is an armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat, with heavy firepower, strong armour, and tracks providing good battlefield maneuverability. The first tanks were designed to overcome the deadlock of trench warfare; now they are a mainstay of modern ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat.

### In Tornado Outbreak

Tanks play a minor role in the level Military Mayhem; destroying them simply increases the tornado's Category Level.
Double Wide Damage (Outro)

**Double Wide Damage (Outro)** is the fourth cutscene in the game; Tornado Outbreak. It's unlocked after the player completes Double Wide Damage.

## Summary

* Walkthrough

**Roadside Destruction!** is the first level in *Tornado Outbreak*.

## Plot

After the events of the Tornado Outbreak Comic, the Wind Warriors travel to Earth, where Nimbus teaches Zephyr how to harness the power of his tornado. Starting with a small twister, Zephyr sets out to destroy various objects, including a fruit stand, a loose cannon, The World's Largest Ball, a statue of Paul Bunyan, and a dinosaur theme park.

After leaving a trail of destruction behind, Zephyr, Nimbus, and the Wind Warriors encounter the anti-matter being known as Omegaton, who seeks the return of his stolen orbs. They agree to help him retrieve them, but there's a problem: exposure to the Sun's deadly UV rays will harm them. To solve this, Omegaton provides Zephyr, Nimbus, and the Wind Warriors with a Lightweight Object Amalgam Device (L.O.A.D. STARR) to generate a protective layer of shade, allowing Zephyr to freely navigate while searching for the orbs.

## Layout

Roadside Destruction's layout is divided up into five different zones.

### Fruit Stand

The first starting area in the map. To progress through this area, the player must fill up the Category Level to a size five tornado. Objects that shake vigorously are able to be sucked into the tornado. In addition to objects, humans can also be affected by the tornado and will run around in a panicked state.

### Loose Cannon

Upon destroying the fruit stand, the force of the tornado causes a pumpkin to be flung into the world's loosest cannon, which results in the second area of the map being unlocked. The tornado's size needs to be a size seven tornado in order to advance to the next area.

### World's Largest Ball

After the pumpkin is flung into the world's loosest cannon and the second area of the map is unlocked, the player must destroy the cannon to send the pumpkin flying onto a large ball of twine. The third area of the map requires the player to increase the tornado's size by ten.

To progress to the next area, the player must head towards the ball of twine as a size ten tornado, and throw it onto the statue of Paul Bunyan.

### Paul Bunyan

The fourth area of the map. The tornado's category level must be size 11 to advance to the final area. Destroy Paul Bunyan along with Babe the Blue Ox. Then, guide the tornado onto the bridge in front of Dino Park.

### Dinosaur Park

For the final area, the tornado's category level has been decreased by two. Players can replenish the tornado's category level by destroying buildings and vehicles to fill the category level into a size 12 tornado. To finish the map, destroy all dinosaur statues. Then, enter the portal inside the volcano.

## Trivia

* The level has an unused multiplayer stage that is fully functional.
* The dinosaur statues are packed full of chickens.

The **Developer Walkthrough**, also known as **E3 2009: Developer Walkthrough** was a four minute video showcasing the PlayStation 3 build of the game Zephyr: Rise of the Elementals.

Combined Arms

Infantry + Armor + Air Support = +50% CA Bonus

Infantry + Armor + Artillery = +50% CA Bonus

Infantry + Armor = +25% CA Bonus

Infantry + Artillery = 0% CA Bonus

Armor + Artillery = 0% CA Bonus

### Minimum Armor Rule

At least 10% of the force or 6 strength points must be armor to benefit from the armor bonus of combined arms.

## Tips

Battlegroups are a great way to insure Combined Arms in any offensive or defensive situation. Consider creating battlegroups that combine units of armor, motorized infantry and motorized or self propelled artillery for use in hasty assaults. This will insure that your forces have a +50% CA bonus in any combat they are involved in so long as their artillery is still alive.

The Reserve order is also a great way to insure combined arms, consider placing an armor formation one hex behind the front lines with a Reserve order so that it can provide its armor value for combined arms to multiple friendly hexes both offensively and defensively.

Fire Missions can be used to provide the artillery value to all combat situations EXCEPT Hasty Assaults - which cannot benefit from fire support.
The Secret Origin

Zephyr, Nimbus and the Wind Warriors floating on a rock.

**The Secret Origin** is the first unlockable story-related cutscene in the game; Tornado Outbreak. In this cutscene, players are introduced to the Wind Warriors and the anti-matter being; Omegaton.

## Synopsis

Zephyr, a young Wind Warrior tasked with creating atmospheres on lifeless planets is chosen to take over the leadership role from captain Nimbus. The team, now under Zephyr's command, encounters Omegaton, a hero from an anti-matter universe who has been banished into their universe. Striped of his six Orbs of power and unable to survive without absorbing positive matter, Omegaton's fate seems dire until Zephyr and his team vow to recover the lost Orbs.

Their quest leads them to Earth, where they face several challenges. The yellow sun's radiation is lethal to them, and Omegaton can't approach Earth due to force fields from powerful Totems and an army of flaming little creatures known as Fire Flyers, sent by Omegaton's enemies to thwart their mission. Luckily, the Wind Warriors have the L.O.A.D. STARR (Lightweight Object Amalgam Device), given by Omegaton, which can locate and secure the orbs while providing protection against the deadly radiation.

As they commence their daring plight on Earth, Nimbus's words echo in Zephyr’s thoughts; it’s not about choosing your mission but rather being chosen by it—a sentiment that defines their unexpected journey with Omegaton and underscores their newfound purpose.

**Loose Cannon Studios L.L.C.** was an independent American video game developer based in Seattle, Washington. The company was founded in 2005 by Dev Madan and Matthew Scott, formerly of Sucker Punch Productions, and Ricci Rukavina, who held creative and production positions at Universal Interactive Studios and Vivendi Games, who also served as the company's president. The studio opening was announced in May 2009. Their first title, Zephyr: Rise of the Elements, was announced by Konami Digital Entertainment at E3 2009 in June 2009. Renamed Tornado Outbreak in July 2009, the game was released for PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 in September that year, The company would later be acquired by PopCap Games in May of 2010.

## History

Following the completion of Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, Dev Madan and Matthew Scott left Sucker Punch Productions in fall of 2005. Together, the two paired up with Ricci Rukavina and formed the independent company known as Loose Cannon Studios.

In April and July 2006, the company pitched two video game concepts to Warner Brothers Interactive. *Dirty Harry: Excessive Forces*, a multiplatform-video game with a planned release date of Fall 2007, along with *Tornado Alley*, an original-IP focused on the premise of wreaking havoc on the environment. While *Dirty Harry's* development was handed to The Collective before its abrupt cancellation in 2007, the company enjoyed the premise of *Tornado Alley* to the point where they picked up the game as publishers.

The negotiations, however, didn’t last long due to creative differences between the two companies. Frustrated with being unable to create *Tornado Alley* the way Loose Cannon envisioned it, the company sought after Konami Digital Entertainment, who remained the game’s publishers.

In June of 2009, the game was announced to the public for the first time under the title *Zephyr: Rise of the Elementals* and featured a variety of changes that weren’t present in the initial pitch from 2006. The game was more focused on characters - such as Zephyr, Nimbus, and the Wind Warriors - as opposed to just controlling a tornado. A month later, the game was renamed to *Tornado Outbreak*.

## Canceled Games

### Dirty Harry: Excessive Force

Dirty Harry: Excessive Force was a cancelled video game based on Warner Brother's Dirty Harry film franchise. It was planned to be released fall 2007 for the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 2.
