The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

*knock knock* Oh hey, I am back, just after 4 months of inactivity?... ...I have no excuses. Originally, I planned to finnish all the diplomacy quests before taking a break (real life duties and all) yet ended up switching those priorites altogether. I will now get back to working on them quests for...

@weewah unfortunately we can hire undead mercs so having a dark adept prisoner as a starting bonus option then proceed to have him betray you later on would require a serious retcon with the undead diplomacy (even if it is just a zombie being silly at the moment) I can think of a way to deal with th...

eyyy, really like your idea weewah. When I can play another round, I would love to have that guardian and curb-storm my way towards any early raids! The 'retreat' (or should we call it 'fall back'?) will greatly help improve his efficiency once it's implemented as well. @vghetto I have played a lot ...

That's true. I found that several of their faction's units (regular orcish archers/grunts/nagas/troll shamans/...) quite underwhelming compared to those of other factions (except drakes...) or even your own units since you can already recruit mages/spearmen which are better. Their best units are pre...

@vg yeah, I can see elves capturing dwarves for further 'imprisonment'. Maybe some dwarves fell too many trees causing the elves to become absolutely livid The undead quests are actually the ones that should not be comic relief since there needs to be a justified reason as to why you (and more impor...

Sure, I can rewrite the 1st elf mission to have the player plant trees and make the 2nd mission into blowing up mountains to anger the dwarves. The difference is that unlike the elf raiding party who you could make peace with the first time you cut down trees, the dwarves won't take any apology once...

@vg perhaps you can lower the amount of dwarven raiders compared to the elves? Plus I have to agree that gryphon masters make a pale imitation of ancient woses. Instead, you could replace wave 3 and beyond’s special unit with high level dwarven runesmith (this would also fit with the story I will wr...

The bunny joke was originally a little bit longer. However, we decided that it was safer to not include the entire thing due to possible copyright infringement. Here's the dialog in full: *If one of your unit spots a rabbit for the first time* Fool: My lord, I just spotted a ferocious beast! We have...

Very nice! Your town is on its way to become its very own kingdom. By the way, what year is it?

You can click the "-" symbol on the keyboard to zoom out. I had 42 farms and managed to gather 20000 gold after 7 years by relying on caravan money. By investing heavily on units, I could safely deliver the caravan to its destination in the shortest time possible and it earned me far more ...

100 workers... welp, someone is certainly building their utopia. Make sure you upload the picture of you kingdom, yeah?

I played around a little with ANL and it was very interesting. The aspect of creating an alliance with elf, dwarf and drake is completely fine, but undead and orc is... problematic. Maybe in the future, you can ally with the orc/undead by completing special missions/dialogs that make you unfriendly/...

What is ANL? I have an idea as to what would happen if you decided to mast a lot of necromancers and build a zombie empire: potential allied factions will tolerate you at best and send armies to kill you at worst, since power comes at a price. I will send you the details and dialogs later. Can it in...

Since it was stated that it's a crime to shelter necromancers/liches, I think that the player should be punished for it. Maybe making it so that if you have even 1 dark adept or any more advanced version of it on the map, the kingdom will stop sending reinforcement to your town (you also can't call ...

I just spent a few days playing a new game to experience the new changes (except the ones on your post above) and I have to say that I really like the trade mechanic and calling for reinforcement options as they opened up new ways to play the game. I found maintaining a huge army (which made my inco...
