The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

That's some really good food for thought; though you're correct about the misunderstanding -- I'm interested in making an API, for host games to use wesnoth to decide the outcome of just the battles : consider how the Total War series has real-time tactical battles jointly with turn-based strategy -...

Consider the open-source ecosystem's many turn-based strategy wargames -- they're great, I'm not gonna launch into a discussion of all their merits and faults, but what're they all missing? Wesnoth. FreeCiv and TripleA jump immediately to mind -- you send units around doing strategical things, but t...

... <Obligatory voice of reason> Although cool, altogether that's getting very wide in scope. I'd say it would be a much better idea to stick to wesnoth's standard tactical interface instead of a two-level strategic/tactical system. That does raise an interesting (and quite OT) idea though -- what ...

If you like, leave comments there with ideas on making the data more useful.

... I'm not sure if the current description needs to be added to, but regardless, that'd be good stuff to talk about in a campaign for example. I agree that the description shouldn't be affected by what we decide here -- after all, it reflects general in-universe knowledge, and who is to say even t...

Necromantisfying because I'd like to see this interesting discussion continue, and it seems there's quite a bit left open. In terms of more or less everything here (apart from the physiology issue, as I haven't come up with anything even satisfactorily self-consistent yet) I'll throw my lot in with ...

Some call me moopli. Others call me Felippe. I'm not sure why, my name isn't Felippe, but a very particular few do. Anyway, I've been playing Wesnoth sporadically for a few years, and I've dabbled with WML, making units, scenarios, etc. I've recently started studying the source code -- what with my ...
