The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I propose we bring back the Elven Lady's 1-1 Dummy Punch attack, and then give her poison/charge/slow/berserk/drain/marksman/steadfast/nightstalk/skirmish/AMBUSH to balance out her weakness and lack of use in Umc's. ...I'm only half joking. (Also, wouldn't poison/berserk be redundant unless the ber...

Simply awesome era. Thanks so much, zookeeper.

You don't keep a personal blacklist? I do.

Yeah, we all have ban lists.

You might want to check out the unit page; it's very useful:

Did you think that my procedure was for a full attack (with multiple hits/misses)? Yes, this is what I was supposing, since you can't really change settings in the middle of an attack and assume it will just work. Though in your case it should work; it will just break things like statistics, which ...

expectedHits += defaultCTH; Does anyone see a flaw in this system? Your system is fine as long as units never come close to 0hp. Unfortunately, once they do, the expected hits are overestimated (dead units don't hit and killing units don't torture dead bodies). So the formula has to be more clever ...

If you come up with a detailed explanation of how an alternative system could work in a non-broken manner which would be at all feasible to implement, I can probably write it. ... You can't access those values from WML, so you'd have to make sure to keep track of them manually. ... And as Soliton s...

This thread acknowledges that unfortunately hit percentages drift to 50%, giving an advantage to woses and a disadvantage to fencers. Are the people in charge of LessLuck Era willing to change the way the game tries to minimize streaks of luck/unluck? I'd be willing to try to come up with an alterna...

Of course you can't win a game just by waiting, I didn't mean that... not true. i have won matches by simply waiting and eventually they get annoyed and bring their leader out to try and swing the match in their favor, i swarm the spot where the leader is, trap it and kill it. against about 80% of ...

Hopefully it should be fixed now. Wonderful. So speedy! I went to update my add-ons and Wesnoth didn't detect any add-ons that needed updating. I'm guessing it'll be a bit before the update makes it to the add-on server? Also, is there any record of the fix? I'm a little curious about the bug. Even...

Why do people keep on saying "globin" instead of "goblin"? Is this some sort of inside joke?

I get a message about the file being corrupt when I try to load the Knalgan blitz in Wesnoth 1.6.

@manored: thanks for the clarification. I completely agree that attacks should not be analyzed in isolation. @eskon: Everything you said on the 80%-20% scenario was wise and just. @pentarctagon: I still believe in expected value for one-time events for two reasons. 1) During your life you get to par...

Nice strategy about looking up levels up you put there. Guess what, you can't see what unit levels up to, before you actually level them up. Help file won't show it. Personally, I don't even know what the hell Shyde is. You can visit http://www.wesnoth.org/units/ to see all the units. Or you could ...

Let's say there's this game. It costs nothing to play. There's a 97% chance you'll win $10 and a 3% chance you'll have to pay $200. Would you play? im not sure. i guess first off is how can it cost nothing to play if i have a 3% chance of paying $200 :hmm: ? hm. i would have to say no. while the 97...
