Hello,

Practically, there are only two version, one by cjhopman (the 2 euros one) and one by alep, both of them are paid with a free demo. alep's work is more up-to-date, and as far as I know, it's also better maintained. However, I haven't ever tried any of them, so no idea about quality.
Can i play with my android tablet against someone with a pc version?
Yes, you can, as long as you use the same release. cjhopman's port is based on Wesnoth 1.8, the other one is based on Wesnoth 1.10.

We have a thread for Android stuff, by the way.

yes, the version by alessandro pira is the one by alep. If you want to test, which one to download, just try the free versions.

Well, i installed the alep's free to test it, but i can t read anything at start: there is a lot of little square for each letter... i tryed to force the smallest config but anything changed. Is it normal, is there a tip?
In multiplayer room i can read everybody, it s only characters in first windows and sentence in tutorial.
Thx again

try to contact him on the forums, i also believe the official thread should be lurking around somewhere here. try using the forum search for "official android support thread" It's both for cjohpman's and aleps port.
