The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Any word on the finals status?

correct. just to be clear, i would say that player strength is a gauge of how well one can read a situation, which boils down to how well one knows/remembers the game rules and values... and then remembering and evaluating possible combinations of moves. but there isn't anything beyond that. if your...

if all games are skill based, then the word skill really doesn't have a lot of meaning. for example, i hardly think that clicking on a hex, then clicking on another hex, is the same as taking an aimed shot on the move in counterstrike, or clicking a million times in starcraft. the difference is that...

eyerouge, wesnoth is not a skill-based game. "skill" in wesnoth is really skill in thinking up moves, which is really just the ability to remember many possible consequences. if player skill is the deciding factor in most games, that's just an indicator of how poor the competitive playing ...

wow, glad I found this thread.

three thumbs up for saving me hassle, and others grief!

Wow. First of all, congratulations guys, those were two very entertaining matches. On one, there was the fast and furious lizard vs. human duel between Rigor and The Black Sword, with both sides rushing across to the other side on the first night... and then watching plk2's "robins" repea...

edit: lahl I'm such a liar :(. sorry updates have been slow and coming. [real life excuse here] also, apologies to cackfiend. i was thinking about making a euro pool and an american pool, but i didn't end up doing it for some reason. oh well! pro tip of the day: the next time you finish a jar of jal...

okay, well that makes it simple. The Black Sword and plk2 will play for the winner of west bracket, and rigor and paradisecity will play for winner of east bracket. winner of each match will square off in the finals! i'll post updates and everything soon. as for further arguments, id ask only that e...

As a matter of fact, I'd say that always goes for the majority of players of Wesnoth since the game has a too great of passer-bys: People that come and go and only play the game for a very short while to never again revisit it. In any case, my point is that the ladder, as any other social body, hol...

Please keep this thread clean from posts that have nothing to do with the ladder http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b332/duckymyth/Forums/Rhinoseriously.jpg All my tourney participants are ladder. Ladder settings and ladder-safe maps are all that are used. In fact, the only reason I'm hosting any of...

lol, oh dear, the rigor/tesa matchup was a mixup too. I'm sorry guys, I knew it was gonna be confusing but I should've made it way more clear. If you can, please replay the mixups, and if not we'll work around. I'll change the initial post so hopefully it's clear(er). If you don't get a chance to re...

note: henry & blacksword- yes, henry was supposed to be player2. also the tesa/rigor match was supposed to be in reverse. my mistake. replay the matches if you can, otherwise we'll make do with what there is) Hi! I was going to do this at the beginning, but [ insert real life excuse here ] So a...

sidenote - tournament Whatever happened with the tournament? It was several months ago plans for it were announced. I've seen plenty of ideas and posts in here, but nobody has actually done anything beyond writing. HELLOOOO I'm currently hosting a second mini-tournament, after successful finish of ...

i have indeed been watching this strategy, although I have yet to see it demonstrated for pre-known with undead as player1. my guess (and hope) is that we will see even more lopsided combos in this tourney - the objective is to beat the mismatch with player1 advantage. that is a good suggestion, tho...

fascinating...


and, oh wow! hey, look, another tourney!!!
