Revisiting Wesnoth unit descriptions

[Pentarctagon]

Sickly has a rather different meaning than I intended, and to me at least, doesn't really have much connection to the negative traits Goblins can get.

Is there a lore explanation for them having only negative traits you would prefer?

"smaller and weaker" covers it as well as a unit description needs to, I think.

Sure, but the naga fighter is not part of the orcish hordes, so I think it's fair to ignore it in the goblin description.

You have multiplayer in which naga are a part of the northerners faction and you have the campaigns in which they often times are not. Since the unit help is accessible from either game mode it needs to work for both.

So the wolf rider flavor text should not explicitly mention naga and at the same time it should not say anything to imply naga are not part of the same faction. The former would be confusing in campaigns and the later in multiplayer.

"smaller and weaker" covers it as well as a unit description needs to, I think.

Well, okay.

I don't particularly mind the racism in the writing, since HttT is presumably the flagship campaign of the game and everything in the game is written from this perspective. What we should be, however, is consistent. If we want to portray all the races as equal, then I think the MP factions should be changed to reflect this.

Perhaps:
+1 for Rebels --> "Sylvans"
Loyalists --> "Kingdom of Wesnoth"
Northeners --> "Orcish Hordes"

Maybe we should take a look at "Drakes" again as well to include saurians? Could be as simple as "Drakes and Saurians" or something more flavourful..

I agree with changing Rebels to Sylvans, Northerners to Orcish Hordes. Loyalists is good name, no need to change it, same with Drakes

Sir, this is a Wendys six year old thread.
