The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I agree this any change to existing units would cause rebalancing issues in the campaigns. Nevertheless, sometimes it's still worth looking at big changes in the game if it may makes the overall game better. On the comment that new versions are only for adding things -- I disagree. Sometimes editing...

When I look at the Orc faction, I feel like a lot of the units seem to branch strangely. These are just some ideas. It occured to me that you could rearrange some of the units to make them seem more rational (?). Turn ORC ASSASSINs into GOBLIN ARCHERS Goblin Archers would become the main ranged unit...

OK. I dislike tons of new race ideas. But I'm going to do it anyway. Elementals "Unique aspect": Elemental Damage, Weirdness Earth Track: Impact Damage, Lawful Fire Track: Fire Damage, Chaos Air Track: Piercing Damage, Neutral Water Track: Cold Damage, Neutral Leaders could be some "S...

Thanks for the comments. #1 In terms of potentially leading to exponential testing problems -- I agree and understand. #2 In terms of balancing a campaign -- I don't agree. The scenario designer just says that the scenario is designed for "Classic Ruleset". That's all. It's up to the playe...

Again, I hope this hasn't been totally suggested before (sorry again if it has). Perhaps Wesnoth should allow for choosing a "ruleset" when you start a campaign (or start a MP map, etc.). It would be similar to the existing option toggles on choosing to play "Age of Heroes" or Cl...

I'm probably going to violate one of the guidelines, but I just thought I'd throw it out. Again, if I do violate one, I sincerely apologize in advance. One thing I was thinking about was the "feel" of a campaign (these are NOT suggestions for multiplayer). I thought these changes might giv...

Just to add in my two cents. I really like the idea of that "aggression" trait for the orc grunts. Maybe the aggression trait means they get an extra attack ONLY when they attack (not defend). Reduce the standard damage by maybe 1 to 2 points. This gives an incentive for the orc player to ...

Thanks for the replies. 1. From a scenario or campaign design perspective: If you recall/recruit too many troops, two things happen, 1) the present map becomes too easy, 2) your hurt yourself on the next map. The scenario designer (and computer) can't compete against you if you have 2x as many troop...

(Just my suggestions) What bothers me most about the single player campaign now is that I feel like you have to play each map two times. The first time is the "natural" way to play it -- you play to win. The second time you play it, you play to "make as much gold" (and xp) as pos...

Just an idea. The Spearman upgrade tree has three branches (pike, jav, sword) -- the pikeman and swordsman and a little too similar I think. The choice doesn't seem all that meaningful (firststrike, minor stats). I think the Swordsman should shift into the Fencer upgrade tree, so that there is a cho...

There should be an option to "view map" (and maybe even "save picture of map") after you win. As it stands, the little pop-up box just says, "you are victorious" and either kicks you out to the menu, or sends you to the next map. Not sure if anyone else feels the same w...

sorry I guess I wasn't clear. Rather than show:

Elves in forest as 70%

I meant to suggest show it as +30% (assuming base is 40%)


That way it's easier to compare between units and races and terrain. I just think it's a little easier if there's a benchmark to think around. Just an idea.

sorry about the time reversal -- I found it afterwards
Also didn't realize it was scenario based
apologize, and thanks for the replies

Another random suggestion (again apologize ahead of time if I'm annoying people). When I look at the Unit defense table (when you hit "d" for each unit), I think it's pretty hard on my eyes. It always takes me a little while to figure what is the number I'm looking for. Just a suggestion -...

Another random idea (I'm sorry if I've been annoying people with my posts. It's truly not my intention, and I apologize ahead of time.) Maybe maps should show a "Recommended starting gold" figure for each map. It would just be nice to know that I should go back and replay a previous scenar...
