Re: Ladder Site Online...

My suggestion is similar to rwar's. I think it should be mandatory to report the factions played. This would allow statistics to be compiled on faction vs faction matchups. In such a way, one can get an idea of the relative balance of the factions. It could be very useful. I was also considering rep...

I wouldn't underestimate the power of the wc. The combination of adepts and wc's is a potent force. If adepts are used to weaken enemies, allowing the wc to get the kill provides an instant meat wall to protect your adept. Also, wc's are easy to level and at level one can do significant damage to un...

If you are looking for RPG's, I would highly recommend Bob's RPG's. While they are not campaigns in the wesnoth sense, they are very good and put together well.

Actually this scenario is fairly easy to win without any losses. If you make sure to have two silver mages by the time you get to this scenario, you can put them on the island on turn 2. This keeps the nagas and bats busy until you can kill that leader. They cause no problems whatsoever. The rest of...

Having read the suggestion for an adjusted fow option, I can't see how it would help the game. If anything it simply makes the game more of a lottery. Because the factions are balanced against each other, rather than units being balanced against each other, it will become very difficult to know what...

So essentially the thread topic is simply to express that you don't like grunts. So if you don't like them, why do you feel the need to tell all of us. Just don't play them. For that matter, if all you want to do is express a dislike for grunts then this thread doesn't even deserve to be in strategi...

When, oh when will people learn that the factions are reasonable balanced. Different factions just require different tactics. Any good player should be able to learn this and adjust appropriately. If for some reason you can't learn to play a faction, I suggest watching other people play these factio...

Trouble downloading

I have been trying to update to the latest version of the extended era and it is incredibly slow in downloading. So slow that eventually I get a server timeout. Is this a fault with the server or with my computer? I didn't know if others were experiencing this also. Any help would be appreciated. Thx

walking corpse

I notice that walking corpses don't get much mention in your review. Most people ignore them when playing undead. However, I have found that they are essential defenders. If these are placed appropriately, you can often entice units that are in a location where they have good defence to attack your ...
