Timer bug w ulf animation

Playing on a timed game, I started attacking ulf with my skeleton with about 30sec left. Timer goes red and count down as the ulf fight is going. It last about 10 sec with all those back and forth slashes. I watch the timer closely as I still need to ZOC-protect my own leader. At ~20 sec, the fight ...

Re: What would you do vs. a very slow and defensive player?

I think for games such as this, you can set a brief timer (with the shortest values) at the very start of the map so neither player can come to smarter decisions and have to go with the fastest move their mind can conjure up. They wont get time to set up these good ZoC and terrain control either gi...

What would you do vs. a very slow and defensive player?

I ran this several times for 1 vs 1s. Both side are same alignment - e.g. UD vs. Orc, Loyalist vs. Rebel, Dwarf vs. Rebel - can't really take huge adventage of ToD. Opponent will not cross midline of map - just wait at his side with a good ZOC line so you can't get more than 2-3 tiles on his units o...

Re: Luck in Wesnoth: killing competitive MPlaying

when two amazing players face each other games will usually take much longer just because luck loses its effectiveness, both of them know how to deal with it I do not fully agree with this. Luck affect the game equally as long as two players have about equal skill levels - no matter both of them ar...

Re: Luck in Wesnoth: killing competitive MPlaying

Hi there, Played this game for almost 20 years, regarding on RNG in Wesnoth, I think I have reached the final stage of any sort of relationship - acceptance. If you search my earlier posts that are >10 yrs old, you might find a lot of post of me, complaining about RNG in this game. But now, I just a...

AI should know the importance of leader kill

I had a game on bot created Afterlife today, where AI just behaved crazy - Enemy leader was an Elvish Ranger There was once, she has 10hp, on flat with 40% def, with 3 sides open to attack. AI had 6 units that could have attacked the leader but instead all went for other units, ignoring the leader. ...

Re: How to counter saurians as loyalist?

Cavalry is the best counter for Augur and Mage is the best counter for Skimisher.
Avoid fighting at night.
Spearmen/Archers can be used defensively at night.

Do not recruit HIs in this match up.

View room settings

I recently return to Wesnoth after a long break. Now I find it confusing - I remember seeing game settings on the server on the game list, like village gold and timer settings etc, now I don't see them anymore. In fact, not only from the room list, there isn't any way I can find the settings until t...

Re: Hi one, Favourite and Least Favourite Unit?

Just came back from a longgg break.

Favorite: Elvish Fighter - cheap and versatile, 1 movement and 60% in forest.

Least favorite: Heavy Infantry - expensive and slow, maybe only usable vs. dwarves.

Re: What do you find to be the worst unit in the default era

Got to be HI. It is a waste of 19 gold vs most factions except undead and dwarves....then for undead, it is too slow to retreat at night and will get killed by DAs easily. for dwarf, it has trouble hitting dwarves in hill/mountain and outlaws anywhere and suffers the same hard-to-retreat problem at ...
