The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

1) medium 1.0 (2) both 1 & 10 I did this one over and over and never got close to the scepter so a 10. Then I tried one more time, went around a corner, there it was, all over so a 1. (3) clear enough (4) it was ok (5) Almost none of my saved units could move more than 2 hexes. The ones that cou...

I was really talking about the people who sent replies to my post before you. Most seemed to want to shoot holes in my suggestions rather than try a "new" old game to see if it had anything worth stealing. You are the first one to say you had actually played it. I agree that it is a differ...

I'm sorry, I did not respond to Yogi's polite request.

Yes, I'm afraid it would take too long to explain Melee in this forum. It would be like trying to explain Wesnoth in 500 words or less.

This gets back to my question from the first post. Have any of you ever played Melee? My guess is no. The full rules are at http://www.deiker.net/tft . I do not expect anyone to play it, even though it would only take an hour or so, and it might give you insight into someone elses conception of a ga...

It seems I can't win here. If I argue a general idea, the next post asks for a specific. Then the specific get picked apart because the general idea is not considered. In one of the posts it was stated that if ranged combat were to be allowed you would end up with lines of infantry in front of a lin...

Because it would make certain units die without need. There are many games, especially in multiplayer, where the key to victory is to gain an economic advantage that makes you win in the long term. So you won't waste a unit in such a situation. Therefore, you might rather choose to attack with a we...

Thanks to everyone for the civil replies. I was just startled at the heat from the first few replies. Newbies need a little TLC.

Around here, we know how to flame people with scientific discussion. The term "flame" implies an emotional connection to the post for me. While i may be passionate about my idea suggestions, I don't know anyone on this forum from Adam. The flame seems like a personal attack, not a valid j...

There is no need to choose what weapon you defend with. The developers, while you may not agree with them, have concluded that when an attacker initiates a melee fight, the defender must use melee and the same for ranged attacks. This system is easy, non-cumbersome and actually makes sense. As many...

This may sound rather Spock like, but it isn't fun for me to crush other peoples ideas. I thought this would be more of a scientific style of discussion instead of flame or be flamed. I am not mad, I am disappointed. I agree with the complication of choosing the defense weapon in evey attack you are...

I came to this forum because it implied you were looking for ideas. If no ideas are wanted, I suggest you remove the forum. If there are posts that have alredy discussed this topic that I should read, please direct me to those posts instead of ragging me about not having read them (I did say I was n...

You're a friendly bunch, aren't you. Thank you Scott for your civilized posts. I stated up front that I am a newcomer to Wesnoth, and I haven't had time (or inclination) to read thousands of posts before I made my suggestions. I have read quite a bit about your philosophy and design decisions. I'm a...

My first suggestion would to be to make bows a truely ranged weapon. The whole point of bows is to urt the other guy before he can close on you and hurt you. Melee had a system of ranges based on bow type where you could hit an enemy at some distance. This sounds complicated, but I think Wesnoth cou...

I have just discovered Wesnoth, and I am enjoying playing it greatly. Part of my enjoyment is because it closely resembles a game I first played about 30 years ago called Melee. It was published by Steve Jackson games, and was played with a paper hex map, some cardboard counters, 3 dice, and about 2...
