The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I've been working on adding labels to the Delmarva map and (maybe) making it into an actual scenario.

If this project is still active in any shape or form, I did make a map of the Eastern Theatre of the American Civil War a while back - unfortunately, I've since lost the list of placenames for the villages (though IIRC I did place them according to some period maps). https://i.postimg.cc/gJRp299G/De...

Yup, just disabled OneDrive and the userdata files are working now. Thanks!

Here's the log file. It was in Appdata/Local/Temp instead of the userdata folder (which didn't exist).

Still doesn't work. It doesn't show up on your channel either.
Have you checked if the video is set to public?

Looks like it would probably be a fun map to play.

On the topic of names, I've dug up a thread concerning the translations of the current Dunefolk names.

One or two quick notes before tending to New Year celebrations: A member of a phalanx is a phalangite (φαλαγγίτης in Greek). Also, how's the letter X meant to be pronounced e.g. in the name Xalid? IIRC the creator of the Xalidi addon mentioned it's representative of the voiceless velar fricative, a...

Correct me if I am wrong, but since the Lv4 Arif line unit, which seems to be representative of the Dunefolk ruling caste, is named 'Khalid', wouldn't the correct name be a 'Khalidate'?

It obviously has to be Option 3. It will be basically like Dextrous vs Strong. Now, ok, I know what you're going to say - Strong is also +1 HP. So what? It's still essentially +1 damage per attack, for Ranged vs for Melee. So - Marksman vs (choose word here). The choice of an alternative term might...

They play pretty decent IMO; I imagine with the formation abilities working they'd be even better.
Cuirassiers do feel a tad weak, but that might be because Cav Line isn't working.

Just my $0.02 about 'race': Isn't the race mechanic just a way to differentiate different sets of names? Whatever the Dunefolk/Khalifate are, I don't think they would name themselves stuff like "Addyn" and "Konrad" like the Wesnothians. Ergo, they shouldn't share the same 'race' ...

I don't think the cavalry line and formation abilities are working for the Prussians.
