The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

hey, I've been waiting half a year for an alpha release... this had better be a good one...

maybe I'm blind, but I don't see one in this version of the forums...

already implemented in one of appleide's maps from an earlier 1.3 version, I think...

ahh, here it is: http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight=

another problem with allies moving simultaneously is that it would give a turn advantage to the allied team that moves first... that's why you see team games with 1221 instead of 1122 as the default turn order of players...

other than more replays, I think all the relevant arguments willing to be taken into consideration by the devs have been made on this subject... in the same vein as the Fencer debates, all I hear are people complaining that their Swiss knives have too many useless functions when they're trying to us...

sorry to dig up old bones, but I was wondering if an elf variation was in the works, or will they remain forever bound to the same cadaver as humans...?

actually, I believe in earlier versions, bats were underpriced and could be spammed to easily grab a quick economic advantage... back on topic, it does seem that Undead tend to play more straightforward than most factions, but that's part of their own uniqueness... perhaps more than any other factio...

don't forget those lovable zolpha from A Gryphon's Tale... so fragile...

well, they tend to: -be faster, so they can reach the villages and high ground first... -be cheaper, so they can control the zones of combat and rotate in/out accordingly... -be chaotic and have better terrain defense, so they can hold their ground in the day and strike with force at night... backst...

what you're missing is what some like to call HODOR...

The Loyalist army is the only one that can recruit 8 units. has the Knalgan Alliance disbanded...? :shock: as for the fencer, being a skirmishing elusivefoot should make them specialized enough to be used, especially if you prefer to play with a bit of tactical style rather than just brute force......

haha, European humor... but yes, effectively using the units that don't necessarily do the most damage in a given matchup (e.g. WCs, goblins, shamans, fencers, poachers, etc...) can separate great play from good...

oh, I see now... when it says "northeast," it means strictly northeast... otherwise, not much room for sight-seeing... and even once you see the allies, the enemy gets in its attack first, so some luck is involved... maybe if your allies are allowed to move before the enemy's turn as soon ...

not sure when or where the reinforcements are supposed to come from... I've tried moving in every direction, but the enemy ships always catch up around turn 4 and there's no indication that any units outside of your starting 3 are given... (maybe it's because I've been using 1.3.10+svn for MP capabi...

exactly how do you beat this "Iceswept Bay"...? your ships have 4 movement and no weapons, enemy ships have 7 moves, you're outnumbered 2:1, and you only get a 1 turn head start... or is this as far as the campaign has been worked on...?
