The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Rather late, but I wondered why this didn't make it into the players' changelog? Implemented feature request for difficulty changing during campaigns. (see bug #10978) This can actually have a serious impact on the way people engage with the game. There are campaigns I'm considering going back to wi...

I think both of the above answers are fairly perceptive. I also enjoy the process of discovery each game, and (in the right roguelike) the frequency of nontrivial decisions to make. Caphriel , I share your distaste for inaccessible games. Depending on how strong your aversion has become, you might l...

I wanted to advertise Sil to the Wesnoth community, since I think some people here would really enjoy the game and appreciate the tactical depth. Sil is a roguelike (and distant relative of Angband) with a First Age Tolkienian theme. The design and development are due to half (the primary author; al...

Hmm, I'm not an expert on this, but I can't work out: does it need permission? So far as I'm aware, it's not scanning the site. In fact all it does is open replays from the site when you manually feed it a link (very almost the same would be achieved by just downloading the replay yourself and uploa...

This looks great overall. I really hope that any animosity with the organisers of the existing ladder, who are doing a brilliant job (and have a very high combined expertise on map and faction balance) can be set aside, and the systems combined, so this works out as a win-win situation rather than a...

Five days and over fifty views but no replies; I'm mildly surprised. Should I have put this in the ideas forum? Did I manage to avoid saying anything controversial, but also fail to say anything exciting? Or are people simply apathetic about Age of Heroes? Let me attempt to be a little more controve...

Sidestepping all the hyperbole above (of course it's a trivial amount for an amazing game in real terms, even if you have to pay it twice; it's only because prices are so low for apps that anyone might think this was expensive!), I thought I'd comment that it seems to me likely that charging again a...

There seems to be a widespread agreement that Age of Heroes is unbalanced. I'd suggest that it would be valuable to try to improve upon the balance, even if the result is not quite as finely honed as Default. This would have advantages: - Age of Heroes is part of the mainline, so this would (slightl...

These look good! Great work. I'd suggest perhaps a lighter shade for the flat terrain? This is the default on many maps, and the easiest way to conceptualise them is to think of a background of flat in which other terrain features appear. If the colours help to suggest that I think it would be a goo...

I certainly wouldn't try to approximate something like this with a direct polynomial in x -- you'll basically be overfitting, and it won't extrapolate nicely. However, eyeballing it and playing with a calculator a little, it looks like away from the beginning it's doing something like (?) f(x) ~ C.x...

The Thunderer doesn't have as much as 40 health, so you can't do 40 damage. The horseman's first attack should have an expected damage of 16. The second attack has a lower expected damage, since if the first attack hit the thunderer has less than 20 health remaining.

When I read about the problem, and before reading the conversation elsewhere, I also came up with the "share income" solution. I think that this and/or sharing upkeep are the most natural solutions. They each have a couple of rough spots around the edges where you have to make a decision, ...

Testing a 2v2 on 1.9.11 (me on Windows 7), we discovered some more bugs: - Some players found that moves they planned not on their turn didn't work properly -- they weren't seen by their allies, and they couldn't execute them when it got to their turn; they needed to reenter them. Initially we thoug...

Yes, I'm in for this reserve team. Apologies for not replying earlier -- I've been on holiday pretty much since my previous post in this thread, and I don't believe anyone had said at that point that a team name was a necessary part of the registration process (or perhaps they had but I'd thought of...

I tested to work this out for myself a while back. It's not quite as definite as consulting the source code, but I'm also pretty confident that ToD and Leadership modifiers are added, then multiplied by resistances. This makes leadership better than I'd expected at adverse times of day, and worse th...
