Re: be notified about posts in one's own threads

Just to mention a potential alternative: In the "Quick links" menu there is an entry "your posts" , which lists all threads where you posted to. If any got a new answer after you last looked at it, it will be marked differently. (And recently changed ones are on top.) This way yo...

Re: [interface] Change "Defense" to "Evasion"

Purely from a word definition alone, to me defence is very different from evasion. In the first I assume some defensive moves, which might include a step-back AND parry step with a shield or a weapon; in the latter I always complete dodging altogether without any contact whatsoever. At the least th...

Re: Delfador in HttT should be lvl 4 instead of 5, and Yeti should be lvl 5 instead of just 4

Delfador is level 5 in HttT mostly for flavor reasons. He is an old mage not at his highest power anymore, but doesn't get a level reduction.
(If he had actual level 5 stats, he would kill many units which he currently can nicely weaken for other units to kill and harvest XP.)

Re: Oddities with the cost of Gryphon (and other mainline monster units)

Units are not balanced against other units, but factions against factions.
These monster units are not in a faction (UMC factions can define the cost separately), so their cost is only relevant for campaign balance, and should be considered with that in mind.

Re: New feature to allow for easier voice acting

Just as an alternative idea: Instead of trying to automatically find out which file to play, allow to have an add-on (with voice definitions in WML) which plugs into an existing campaign? This way we could clearly indicate in readable WML when to use which voice file, without affecting the rest of t...

Re: Battle for wesnoth.... ascii terminal

In graphical wesnoth a unit is annotated with the following: side number HP bar (HP / max HP) XP bar (XP / max XP) leader/loyal indication Where would this information be shown in a text-only version? Side number would likely be the foreground color (background color is for terrain). If you want th...

Re: Support showing CTH histogram from enemy point of view

The damage calculations should be based on the time of day it will be on your enemy's turn, which will not necessarily be the current one. I think it would probably be unnecessary? I’ll try to explain. One turn consists of players/AI participating as different teams. [...] Day of time will not chan...

Re: Looking for Strategy Guide on Undead

Hi, some small corrections: It's easiest to back up your Skeletons with Cold - both ranged and melee. The first Cold option is with Dark Adepts. Dark Adepts are human, like Mages, have no melee attack, but have a chill wave and a shadow wave both of which deal cold damage ranged. [...] The other Col...

I thought that is how they were supposed to be used? ;)

Thanks for updating. I now finished the game (at medium difficulty). At some time in the future I'll try again on hard, but not right now.
Thanks again for the campaign!

Re: An Independence War: SP campaign for 1.12/1.14

Another thing ... I asked the trolls to attack the elves, and they said yes. They also field troops, but the troops never leave troll territory – they just stand there around and do nothing. trolls-not-attacking.png After several rounds they decide it is enough, and go home. (I sent them money and a...

Re: An Independence War: SP campaign for 1.12/1.14

I think I found the reason: while i <= #shooters do if guards[i].exploit == "" then -- <<<< this line 87 is the one which throws the error. guards[i].exploit = 999 end ... end This iterates over the "shooters" array, but tries to access the "guards" one. This fails if I...
