Did something weird happen to the poll...??? I see there are only 195 votes and there are 258 posts - that can't make sense surely? And I'm sure there were a heck of a lot more than 20 people playing Wesnoth by version 0.6 - this forum was already a hive of activity when I first visited it!

Re: On what version did you first play Wesnoth?
I think some of the very old votes might have been lost in one of the forum crashes - I seem to recall when I first joined, that the 0.x issues had a lot more votes than that... Or it could just be that not everyone who posts, votes.

Re: On what version did you first play Wesnoth?
I discovered Wesnoth just a few years ago on a CD of an older version of Knoppix (a Linux distribution, for those of you who don't already know that). I also found Wesnoth 0.8 available on tucows, which looked similar to the one that I'd played earlier, so I've decided to go with 0.8. Running Linux from a bootable CD (as I was doing when I first played Wesnoth) prevented me from saving games (the saved games were gone every time I restarted the computer), so I decided to download Wesnoth so that I could save my games. I found Wesnoth.org and downloaded the latest version (1.4.1), and you can imagine how much of a novelty it was when I saw how different 1.4.1 was from 0.8.8! I actually had to re-learn many of the units (for example, Holy had been replaced with Arcane, and many of the units had been changed drastically, and many units-such as Merman Hunters-had been added, and others-such as Thugs-had been removed from their factions, only to appear in the campaigns). The terrain graphics had been improved drastically (remember when the "trees" graphic was actually a pattern of green brush strokes?), and the music made the game seem more intense. The swamp terrain had been added, and now figured prominently in many of the campaigns and some of the MP scenarios (now that 1.6 is out, could some of the MP maps be redesigned to include some Coastal Reef? I was just noticing that none of the ones I've seen have that terrain. While you map designers are at it, please be aware that the new map, Howling Ghost Badlands, includes some buildings that look like villages but aren't!)
Ah, it's fun to reminisce, especially when all the changes appeared to happen all at once (when I went from 0.8 to 1.4 without playing anything in between).

Re: On what version did you first play Wesnoth?
I recall downloading Wesnoth from macgamefiles or macupdate… don't remember which one now. Like many people, was looking for a new game, something free or cheap.
Anyway, I think it was the late 1.1's. I know it was before 1.2, and I think it had the newer keep graphics. I had downloaded it, recall 1.2 getting summarily released, got bored, and took it off of my computer.
I touched it again a couple years later, when it had gotten into the 1.3's, and was actually a little surprised how it had matured even since then. Took it off, and then came back with 1.5→1.6.

Re: On what version did you first play Wesnoth?
I think I first played Wesnoth at verison 1.4 and I can still remember how amazed I was then. Haven't played for a while now but the time has come to make my return, 1.6 here I come!
Re: On what version did you first play Wesnoth?
I remember the only naga level 2 being Sea Hag, and the Drake Blademaster/Hurricane Drake /Drake Enforcer/Drake Warden/Master at Arms/Highwayman/Huntsman/Ranger/Draug units didn't exist.
Sadly I have no idea what number that was, does anyone know...vaguely?

Feel free to poke around, though it does not go past 1.0, and I think the Sea Hag was still in 1.0, but there was another Naga level 2.
