With windows? I think it takes less effort to buy a mac - click, click you're done (I ignored money) - than to install cygwin and gcc and then figure out what the heck is going on. Most windows-only users are oblivious to the world "outside their window" so to speak. I tried teaching some...

My only major initial criticism is the your decision to use defense as an additive resistance. I can't think of a better way to handle defense right now (that isn't incredibly over-complicated), but I can see additive defense "sterilizing" some units. For example, I can see units like, sa...

I still stand by the view that Deterministic mode is horrible (although that's all I'll say since I don't want to hijack your thread), however I'm pleased to see that there are people who think otherwise that are willing to do the work themselves rather than beg the Wesnoth Devs to add it to the gam...

If you were to say that, why not prevent all undead from healing? Why not make them charge no upkeep because they are controled by the necromancer? Why not make them free, and cost mana instead? WINR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Err I think Simons Mith was suggesting it on game balancing factor, not on a...

•It fits in with the wesnoth world/mythology. (No Dawarf Campaigns). Dawarfs have shaped the history of Wesnoth, though! Where would Konrad be without his faithful Dawarf at his side? What would Haldric have done had it not been for the sound advice of wise and generous Dawarf? Where would Da...

I liked this, but you got to tell me what the hell is this medieval battles you talk about. You DON'T dress up like a medieval warrior and go fight with your friends do you? Uh, that's exactly what they do. It's a whole heck of a lot cooler than sitting around and rolling dice. Gets you exercise, m...

Its not legal. Castelvania music, i think, is Nintendo's copyright. You don't want to mess with them... or anybody! Make your own music, or find some already made under GPL licence so you can freely use it. Aleksi. Konami's copyright, actually... and yeah, it's as legal as using a Metallica MP3 for...

thats 'cause their faster dude. It's much easier dodge blows when you're not wearing heavy armor. But if you wanna talk about hard to hit, play the Unrest in Elfland campaign. It's impossible to hit them, because it's all FOREST!! Elvish Archers get a 70% defense bonus in forest. Why did you resurr...

Eastern Invasion, a default campaign that comes with Wesnoth. It comes with all platforms' binaries.

Re: Dwarves are not healers?

Wesnoth is Wesnoth, though, not another realm. I am not debating that Wesnoth is Wesnoth, but let's take a step back and look at where this mythology is coming from... elves do this and dwarves do that... there are certain shared pieces that run through most fantasy games. Dwarves are short, Elves ...

Re: Dwarves are not healers?

I strongly disagree with the notion that dwarves are not healers. Please see the thread I posted about Dwarven Clerics... The holy hammer would help fill the void you are referring too. It would be a ranged holy attack. http://wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4973 Dwarves have healers in other rea...
