Re: The Rise of Wesnoth

1. Well, Jevyan did not die. And he is not listed as someone who had led the Wesfolk in their arrival to the Green Island 200 years ago. 2. You can't pose the question that way... if nothing says all/most/multiple Lich-lords arrived 200 years ago, but something says that _one_ Lich-lord arrived (Len...

Re: The Rise of Wesnoth

@octalot: 1. The other Green Island leaders did not lead, nor go with, their people to the Eastern continent. The other Lich-lords did not lead, nor go with, their people to the Green Island. The difference is that the other Green Island human leaders died, and no Human forces remained on the Green ...

Re: The Rise of Wesnoth

@octalot: 1. We just read how Jenesse says a single Lich-Lord, Lenvan, led them to the Green Isle - not the rest. 2. If all of the Lich-lords had arrived 200 years ago, then the Green Islanders would have fought them all then. The Lich-lords would not have just all stood aside while their hosts are ...

Re: The Rise of Wesnoth

@octalot: You're right, I had forgotten about that line. However, that doesn't fully undermine my point: You have all the lich-lords and their forces, in their established civilization with cities and ports and what-not; and a splinter group led by a single Lich-lord. So rephrasing my last sentence,...

Re: The Rise of Wesnoth

What do you mean by "the Lich-lords' loyal forces"? The Wesfolk were the Lich-Lords' loyal forces up until the point when the Lich-Lords brought in the orcs. well... the initial dialog says: Then THEY came, the Wesfolk. They were a wicked, brutal, and dirty lot. They were the vanquished r...

Re: The Rise of Wesnoth

@octalot: That description is of the GreenIslanders' struggle against the Wesfolk _refugees_, not the Lich-lords' loyal forces. There had not been a direct conflict between the Green Islanders and the Lich-lord forces proper. IIANM, contact was limited to a precarious trading route.

Re: The Rise of Wesnoth

I'm "moving a discussion" here from GitHub issue 4865: https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/4865 . In scenario 6, Jessene says: I am the Lady Jessene, a noble, a princess of the Wesfolk! I was betrayed by the Lich-Lords' dark pact with the orcs, in no small part because your fool Prin...

Re: Updating the Walkthroughs for Mainline

I will add that over the past few years, I've tweaked, or sometimes overhauled, the walkthroughs of a bunch of the mainline campaigns. For those, it's only the 1.15 changes that need to be accounted for, rather than having to think back to how things were like in v1.8 or whatever...

Re: Wesnoth 1.15.10

I dislike how the actual source code is in the same package as the data files which, AFAICR, don't need to get built (in `data/`).

Re: older ones all gone?

@s1m0n: Same here. I've only ever played SP. Maybe the people who like MP more are attracted to MMORPGs? To playing stuff on their smartphones? Just speculating.

Re: Wesnoth 1.15.9

I know this is the 1.15.9 thread, but the thread for 1.15.8 is locked, so commenting here. I would like to ask that the default screenshot format be changed back to PNG. Yes, it's larger, but - JPEG is lossy. I don't want people to put up, or send me, ugly screenshots. That's more annoying than the ...

Re: Wesnoth 2.0 and project Haldric?

Why does the Stream SDK have such a "poison license" anyway? I mean, I know a lot of FOSS has a non-GPL "permissive" license - but why should the Steam SDK a specifically GPL-incompatible license?

Re: Wesnoth 2.0 and project Haldric?

@fabl: Can you compare and contrast the two different initiatives? And why there's this bifrucation other than the community focusing on a single engine?

Re: Ashen Hearts [SP Drake Campaign for 1.12.6]

In Scenario 7 I think the walkthrough should make it explicit whether you need an L2-only unit of each of the 5 categories of drakes, or whether L3 units are also acceptable. Also, at the end of that scenario, Khazran says that he wants the Drakes to enslave all other races. That doesn't make sense....

Re: Ashen Hearts [SP Drake Campaign for 1.12.6]

What do you guys think about the possibility of giving Elri's Amulet to Uluthur instead of Herkarth?
