OK, and how is that not a bug? Just mixing all items in the race tag in a random salad makes sense to you?

Ofcourse, it makes more sense to rename the 'Units' at help into 'Races' and then do
put the units of that race first into an 'units' subsection under that 'racename'
to elminate the confusion stemming out of the current salad.

I think you can prevent that with no_leader=yes?

But this happent in a multiplayer map, the 6p - Volcano.
Leaving some slots empty to do an match with lesser than maximum player-count was not an issue in 1.12, so please tell me this is not the new default.

As someone who has suggested changing notation in the past, I don't think changing the order is a good idea, but I do think it would be nice if there was some small asymmetry. Something like adding different emphasis/font to the numbers "2x3", "2x3", "2x3"... or maybe just adding some spacing "2 x3".

This way it would give some significance to one number vs the other and it would be easier to remember which one is the number of strikes and which one the damage.

Personally, I think adding a space looks best, and would be the least likely for someone to accidentally overlook.

Did you, by any chance, run wesnoth.exe directly without any command line switches instead of using the shortcut created by the installer? Because in all versions prior to 1.13.2, that will indeed cause Wesnoth to default to using .\userdata and ignore your choice when installing.
Once upon a time I had this discussion for the Wesnoth 1.12.6 installation. Now I wanted to abuse this the other way around and am now unable to find a way to get my local installation to use .\userdata (the 1.13.5 installer actually didn´t even ask where I want the files to be placed). Same problem as above just reversed? Is there a way to change this manually (couldn´t find the location the paths are specified in)?

Two things I found in The Battle for Wesnoth version 1.13.5+dev (8c65e49-Clean). Not sure if they are known, or some WIP thing, but I'll mention them just in case.

1. It looks like [advancement] is bugged. For example, if you have two advancements, and one increases melee damage while the other increases ranged damage, when the unit advances, you get the menu and to choose which one, but both seem to get applied and the choice is irrelevant. I couldn't find a mainline example, so maybe syntax has just changed or something.

2. Does filtering on status no longer work? At least for "unplagueable", it no longer seems to. EDIT: Sorry, something else is going on. Never mind this second one.

Does this mean that all mainline uses of [advancement] didn't have the problem, or that you couldn't find a mainline use of[advancement]? If the latter, try the leader in UtBS.

Thanks. Somehow, I had failed to grep him. His [advancement]s are a macro-fest, so it's not immediately clear to me why his are working (maybe [variation]s?). But if I paste
these [advancement]s

into the Desert_Champion, they don't work. Whatever is wrong with them, they do work in the released BfW 1.13.5. I haven't had time to narrow down by, say, removing the [effect]s one at a time, but I should be able to this weekend.

This could be related to the change to make unit attacks shared pointers, so that now when a unit is copied (for the preivew pane) the attack type obejcts aren't copied anymore so any attack-relarted effect applied to the preview unit ill alos be applied to the readl unit.
