The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

In the time since I posted my reviews a couple of months ago on user-made content (UMC) add-ons I had played, I have been wondering if there is a better way to prospectively evaluate add-ons than the commonly-used ‘Number of downloads.’ This was especially true when I learned that the number of...

This is not so much fitting to this thread, but it refers to games, not related to
wesnoth the game itself.

Anyone remembers the 1990s era? There were quite some browser games. Archmage
from Mari; that continued via The Reincarnation but ever since they added bots it
became a waste of time....

Hi! On the 1st September I present you another one WWII UMC :) I know there have been plenty before. What's different this time, you may ask? Well, for one, I want to try a different approach. Instead of trying to turn Wesnoth into a hardcore wargame, I will try to adhere to the KISS principle and...

This is the main development thread for the mainline campaign The South Guard . The original first post for this thread follows.

Wesnoth is quite a game, especially for an effort put together by volunteers! I've been impressed by the excellent campaigns already included in the game, and thought...

1) Did you enjoy playing the Campaign? What did you enjoy most?

2) Which scenario was the hardest for you, and on what level?

3) Which person did you like best?

4) Do you have any suggestions?

5) What version do you have?

If you have played this campaign and find the portraits, sprites or...

I've been thinking a lot lately about the tools we use to communicate with one another, and something really struck me as problem with our current situation. While minetest has a great forum culture, it doesn't really generalize to other freedom respecting software games with smaller communities,...

I apologize if here is the wrong place to post it, but I really couldn't find a better topic.

I would like to create a Wesnoth card game, but what are the implications?

Legal implications?

1. Of course, I also want to be an open-source version.
2. It's not my intention to reuse any code from...

How to search the irc log?
Downloading every *.log file in takes a long time.

Downloading only the log of developer chats in 2020 takes less time.

Vyncyn Rashy Era is on the wesnoth 1.14 addon-server. It contains 14 factions with mostly unique art.
There are 3 different eras: default (contains 9 factions), default extended (14 factions but less balanced) and AoH (14 factions + 1 fun Assassin faction, lvl3 leaders and lvl2 recruitables)

Hello everyone! This is dwarftough, and I'm excited to introduce to you my Wesnoth Autohost Project. Launched in the beginning of August 2021, the project has already arranged more than 2600 multiplayer games (as of Sep. 4 2021) and this number continues to grow steadily!

What is the essence of...

Hair to the Throne is my first attempt at making a campaign. It is a short (3 scenario), humor focused story following Konrad after the events of Heir to the Throne where, much to his dismay, he is going bald. This is not intended to be taken as a serious part of Wesnoth lore; it was really an...

Here's an idea that is sort of somewhere between practical and far-fetched: Make a browser-based version of Wesnoth, similar to

The freecivweb game, even though its in a browser has:
Music and sound
Pretty good graphics
Responsive interface
Game and Display Settings
Full screen mode,...

Hi, Hopefully everyone is doing well. I am new on this forum. Welcome me!

Let me start by congratulating Spannerbag on the publication of After Eastern Invasion , and thank him for all the good work that went into creating it. It is a splendid campaign, and great fun to play.

The scenario editor currently has a feature called Item Tool which allows you to easily place images on the ground, which is great for scenery. The problem is that these images currently can't be removed from within the editor.

A solution to this problem would be great.

I realize you can stack...

This is the feedback forum for the Legend of the Invincibles singleplayer campaign. If you have played the campaign and have any comments regarding it (bugs, difficulty), feel free to post about it here, I am interested in reading it, even if it is a petty thing. Because of the size of the...

version 0.0.1(BfW1.7.2)
warning: long post, first I will write what I'd like to read if I'd want to play a campaign, and then as far as development is concerned

start idea:
515YW (short time before the start of HttT), the dwarves of Knalga send out an expedition to search for new minerals which...

Greetings everybody,
I am new to making units and coding for wesnoth, and I thought it'd be good to get some feedback on my art, so i'll be posting it all here.
My first project with drawing art has been a arctic faction, mostly consisting of penguins. But also with Polar bears, Seals, Walrus's and...

A call for help
For essentially the past year I have been developing my 19th century fantasy era, the Era of Empires or EoE for short.
But I have now discovered that at the pace I am working I won't be able to get it done at all. So I am asking for any volunteers to help me with my era. It will...

Hello, friends! I'm relatively new into Wesnoth - although I know the game for about a year already, I didn't knew that there was such a gigantic userbase and so much content.
So, for now, I'm beating the mainline campaigns (already beat Orcish Incursion, Tale of Two Brothers and South Guard, into...

Settle a new town north of the Great River.

A city-building Wesnoth campaign, requiring you to balance the building of new villages against the need to defend them.

This campaign is more focused on gold management, strategic construction, and city defenses.

Wild Frontiers is a fork of 'Cities of...

Hi, I am new to this modding scene but I have done some in other games. I am looking to start up a campaign that would require a fair bit of work and I am looking for help with it, I don't foresee any major problems but the more the merrier. If nothing else I would like someone to bounce ideas off...

1) What version and difficulty level did you play the scenario on? Please do not submit feedback from pre 1.4.
2) Do you think the difficulty is adequate to the level? If not describe the issue that made the scenario to easy/hard.
3) Was there any event that caused you to almost instantly lose, or...

1) What version and difficulty level did you play the scenario on? Please do not submit feedback from pre 1.4.
4) Do you like the storyline and the dialogues? If not what part/character lags behind or what would you like changed?
5) Do you think the scenario was fun? Please write down some thoughts...

I've been sketching drakes for a while now and recently decided I'd clean and ink one of those sketches. Here's the result : a drake arbiter that will likely serve as an alternate to whatever TSI comes up with when he gets back to drakes.

hey there,

Im looking for a old mod i was once playing a while back it was allowing you to further upgrade units after their max level making them learn some new attacks, passives and abilities. also sometimes transform them into new units. like paladin into shadowknight etc.

Was looking alot for...

Okay, so does any of you have a good idea of an elegant method that could be used to make a unit more susceptible to ranged damage than melee, or vice-versa. As in affecting resistance. I am also willing to take ideas for behemoth creatures which might need an extra edge to illustrate their...
