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,...

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.

Hi, people from wesnothian community!!!
I m actually working on a compilation of Poems and Songs, relatives to the game´s world. I have seen some material in the forum, but i think there is a large number of material still hidden, in forbidden carpets in dark side´s from our own HD. Well, it´s...
Hello! Chances are, if you're here, you're just here to just read and enjoy yourself. Chances are, you like a good fan fic just as much as I do. And chances are, if you're reading this here, you're still interested enough to give it a try. Sounds good to me!
Out of random boredom I decided to create a little compendium of all the different classes of magic used in mainline Wesnoth, with lore from the campaigns and unit/race descriptions providing information to the background nature of the various magic types and my own theory filling in a few...
(Sorry if this is addressed somewhere already, I couldn't find it.)
Do elves have red blood like regular mammals? Or do the magical fairy elves get filled with some magical green aether, while the fighter-type elves have red blood?
I know Wesnoth avoids gore, but it still seems like something...
This thread is to try to clear up story or plot holes in the Bad Moon Rising and Trinity campaigns. This whole thread is basically a spoiler, so if you haven't played those campaigns, and think you might want to some day, don't read any further.
I make no claims on being a writer, so the story...
While playing through LoW the other day I noticed in Battle of the Book that the enemy mage calls himself Aquagar, great Drake Wizard of Morogoth. While translating/playing TDH recently I realized that the skull Gwiti's going after is the Skull of Morgorath. The two names are very similar, which...
1.9.4, Legend of Wesmere, S16: Now we must make appear he was slain by an orcish hand!
It's wrong, I know that. But there are so many different ways to correct it, I feel awkward suggesting a multitude of options without discussing it with an (apparent) authority. I figure the discussion belongs...
I am writing a short script for a comic (Tales of Wesnoth, ~70 frames, 38 already written). I am placing my story in a human village on the East shore of the Listra river, before the hills that lay between the Lintanir forest and the Listra river (according to wesnoth.png).
Edit: Right. This Will Do. I've not looked at it myself so a while, so hopefully the fresh pass I've just done will have caught most of the remaining issues.
Final version attached. HTML only. Please continue to use the image set from draft 4. Full lossless image set available on request, but I...
It has become apparent that my writing has declined since my departure from school. Aside from being personally sad about this (I generally take pride in being a somewhat literate person) I seek to improve myself.
So here is a couple samples of what I currently have (tried) to write.
Welcome to Fun With Salt - a (hopefully) series of articles discovering some of the Wide Green Worlds interesting natural phenomena.
Todays topic is an exceptional mineral, which I'll briefly call - Subirthium (or sub-irthium if you prefer)
Some time ago there was a bit of a dispute why elves are...
Hi, so this story is not exactly fit in to the Wesnoth Story line or history. This is more of a fan-fic that was heavily influenced by BfW. For example-names are similar and characters can relate to many in Bfw. I realize that my character development is a bit weak. I did create a map for this...
My first attempt at writing a Wesnoth/Orbvim-based story. Hope you enjoy. Please correct me when I make grammatical faults since English isn't my native language.
I. The road to Faolan.
Roars of battle filled the sky as we approached the fortress held by Lord Faolan. As one of the twelve...
I've read the 1.9.4 campaign scenarios, the Lore Collections , the History of Wesnoth , the campaign forums, all chronology-related threads in the Writer's Forum and the most recent fourth of the User's Forum. I have found conflicts with dates, nobody is addressing these conflicts, and I propose...
I was reading the campaign dialogue for DM when it dawned on me that there seems to be a conflict with what is happening in the story, with what the history states.
The history states this under the heading 470 YW : Orcs under Great Chief Zorlan and undead raised by the necromancer Iliah-Malal...
Hello. So I tried to summarize everything on the title, now I'll try to develope with my lack in Inglish pratice. I'm starting to create a campain for The battle for Wesnoth but unfortunately, I'm really not in good terms with C++, Python, or in our case, with WML. I do not know if I'm in the...
I am writing a story that I quite like and which I try to keep compatible to the Wesnoth canon.
The campaign is described here:
It should start around 65 YW, shortly after Haldric II died and the third human king of the great continent becomes king.
Though I guess the canon is not completly...
Sorry for the morbid title, but I felt it was the only one that fit the occasion :wink:
Undead have been the main fascination of most campaigns since Wesnoth was started. My questions are:
How do the mechanics of raising a body work? I would assume the necromancer summons the soul back into its...
Some things need to be cleared up. I made this topic because one in particular came to mind.
Elves live 200 or so years. Some who take the faerie path live an extra century. Kalenz, who took Crelanu's potion, has lived for more than 500 years. So what the heck is Uradredia doing in both LoW and...
The 'Victory and Defeat' help states the following:
Pay careful attention to the Objectives pop-up box at the beginning of each scenario. Usually you will achieve victory by killing all enemy leaders, and only be defeated by having your leader killed .
Given that every campaign scenario also has...
I have a question about the entire dual suns thing in the Under the Burning Suns .
Anyone here who has studied physics or astronomy knows that gravitational systems are fairly complicated, even fragile things. Of course, naturally, sometimes suns form so that they orbit each other, but to create...
Wesnoth has a king.
But has Wesnoth lower nobles like Count, Earl or so?
The main-character of my campain is ruler of his own territory.
He is human, lives in the years of Haldric II, and I titled him Lord .
# All Of The Other Reindeer: Pretty much the whole plot of Descent into Darkness, depending who you ask.
* It gives the campaign a completely different light if you beat the first mission without resorting to necromancy (that is, by recruiting 0 troops). Malin ends up volutarily leaving, with the...
There seems to be a bug in data/hardwired/tips.cfg, Line 28, which says that:
Units with the Quick trait move one extra hex per turn.
As far as I know, units with the Quick trait are given an extra movement point, but this doesn't mean one extra hex per turn (Though that's usually the case)....
Come out, you dog! Come out and fight me man-to-man! he shouted into the twilight. He struck down a man charging at him once again with his warhammer. His men screamed and shouted all around him, fighting for their lives against beasts and bandits. Their opponents had crazed grins painted on their...
