We are happy to announce that Wesnoth is now able to accept donations on Liberapay . While Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers,...
There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.
Write clearly, be nice to others, and be very careful when posting anything related to politics or religion. When asking for help, remember that everyone here is a volunteer. Prefer editing your previous post over double posting. No animated avatars or graphical signatures. Don’t plagiarize other’s...
First off, let me say that my RPG campaign relies heavily on the storyline, so if you want to be able to enjoy it to its fullest when I finish it, I suggest you do not read this. I'm looking for critique on the actual writing from competent Wesnoth writers, and on the storyline in general from...
I'm planning on starting a campaign, I have pretty much the characters/plot/everything done (Thanks whoever wrote that handy guide on campaign TODO's :D ) , but I'm having a _lot_ of trouble about where to settle my campaign.
It will be about a bunch of exiles/outlaws/mages living their own lives...
The problem is, I have never been very creative with simple things. The only problem I have at this point in time is names...
I already have all the plot (more or less). So right now, I just need some good dwarven names (around 5-10 is all I need for the whole story).
I've noticed during my time on the Wesnoth forums that some artists/unit designers run into trouble naming their sprites, and eventually end up using either a name that has already been used by another unit or is only a slight deviation from another unit's name. Hence I was wondering if it would be...
I hope this is the right place to post this, I want feedback on a proposed storyline for a campaign.
Special thanks go to Zarel who's interesting discussion on Saurain and Naga biology prompted me to reconsider giving up on this campaign. I am now resolved that at the very least I will write the...
I was planning to write a few bits for the pre-wesnoth history (and yes i avoided any religion :) unless your treat fairies as divine, but then they're already there so it's too late) and so was looking through the gathered lore on the wiki to make it possibly consistent. Of course it was...
As some of you might know, I've been writing the story and dialog for the Add-on campaign Fall of Wesnoth. I don't know if this is the appropriate forum, but as this thread deals purely with writing issue, I posted it here instead of in the Scenarios and Campaigns forum. If this is the wrong place...
Hello fellow Wesnothonians! I had an idea to create a UMC about some geographic component of the Great Continent, and, while keeping in mind that I haven't played all of the campaigns, Glyn's forest caught my attention. It seemed to have very little information connected to it, which is a very good...
new to the forums, but i have spent some time surfing around now, & as a writer, i'm looking for 3 specific things:
1. the complete history of the wesnoth universe, which i have found parts of in various places & mostly on the wiki, but i can't seem to find a start page or hub/portal that provides...
I'm currently thinking about a campaign on Drakes. Drakes are not standard fantasy lore, and trying to get some information on them is a bit tough, since alot of things are either not fleshed out in Wesnoth, or do contradict themself. Trying to pin some properties on their society with a bottom up...
This book is a collection of wisdom on the disc of Reilan, one of the most misterious known arkan artefacts. A great many speculations on the nature of the disc have been made, but the true character remains in the dark. There was once a time when every mage...
I've been working since a while ago on a campaign that tells the story of the dwarves acsension from the underdark and of their first war with the elves.
Anyway, as nobody did anything about this particular time Wesnoth history I'm practically inventing the wheel. So far I have thought mostly about...
Even if the Saurian units don't need their descriptions rewritten, as a race they have no general description. Considering the pages that are written on other races, I think they deserve at least a paragraph or two, so I'm going to try and start writing it. Suggestions appreciated, especially since...
Let me first point out that English is not my native language,
I made this in my spare time and I think it could be promising.
This is my first time writing a fan fiction, so please bare with me and correct me with any mistakes you should encounter,
Thank you.
Hey I don't really go on internet or post stuff often but i'll have a shot.
I have been trying to make my own campaigns and units for awhile now but i have come to accept that i am just no good at it (Lack of software and skill). So instead of trying to make my own campaigns myself, i have decided...
:!: Sentience
Usually, undeads are considered mindless slaves to their creators.However, not only liches and death knights are said to be sentient, ghosts have shown a will even in mainline campaigns.In addition, the descriptiom of the skeletons say they would fight to find rest.So the question is:...
I was going to try to make a female orc character (started portrait) , so I looked at the orc race description to see if there was anything written on the subject. I didn't see anything, but thought the description was a little rough in places. So, this is a pass at fixing it (in the spoiler)....
Wesnoth army divide to officers and other soldiers.
Officers ranks:
Sergeant
Lieutinant
General
Grand Marshal
Other soldiers are:
Heavy infantry. This guys are really tough. There is very high chance, what their armor made from cast iron . In other words, their clothes is big frying-pan, what...
For example:
:arrow: Where does the necromancers' Mal mean ?
:arrow: Are there family names,what rule(s) follow them?(Malin and Dela Keshar ,Gwiti and Nati Ha'atel (surname),but Li 'sar and Ana 'sar ,Ro' Arthian and Ro' Sarthian (by suffix,although the...
This thread is to keep track of the Lore Collection Project. Basically, the idea is to go through all the mainline text and pull out just what exactly we're saying about the races, factions, and world of Wesnoth right now. This would then be condensed into a single reference document containing the...
(Ok, the names are silly, but A.K is a clerk/writer dude and R.P a hunter so...)
A. The Basics Behind Hunting
Hunting may seem fairly simple, but is actually very complex, as Roddry Perg taught me. Even the basics are harder than i thought. I shall write them as 'rules'.
This is a Wesnoth Fan Fiction about a group of adventurers - 4 Dwarves, 2 Wood Elves, 3 Wesnothian Soldiers and a Part Human Part Elf Mage - who try to take over some Caves full of Gold and Jewels.
I started this thread to discuss fluff reasons for various unit resistances that are, apparently, ad hoc, and are presently explained only by saying that they fit the game balance.
This includes:
1. The Blade, Pierce and Impact weaknesses of elusive foot units like the Orcish Assassin,...
Garard's army of 30,000 men reached the ford of Abez early in the morning, hoping to finish the fight before nightfall. Garard spilt his men into 2 - his men and Eldred's, but gave Eldred more, hoping to improve his skills as a commander. Garaad had his 5,000 horsemen form...
To make Irdya seem more real and less empty, maybe there should be an 'writing and art' section with all kinds of things. I'll list a few below as an example.
Mage/Noble/Merchant Diaries
Detailed Historic Records (e.g. Characters born, Battles, Raids, Small Famines, Small Droughts, Settlements...
