The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Thanks for the further reports. Talking animals is a perennial issue, but that particular instance will be fixed.

Quality & content

All era units brought to Tier A quality bar (descriptions, portraits, attack icons, idle/standing where applicable, die sounds)
~1000+ new dialogue portraits (gen_*) across races


This sort of thing is definitely not allowed - it might seem cool now, but it certainly won't be ...

Thanks for the reports and feedback. This campaign had been stalled out for a while, but I'm working on fixing it now. I hope to have the inventory system and XP scaling (and how they interact) in better shape in the next release, which will probably have to be in BfW 1.20 later this year.


The ...

Here's a saurian skirmisher portrait by Bielves:
[...]
Unfortunately, he's currently unavailable to do more illustrations, but I might eventually commission more portraits if this style is acceptable.


The general shading style is good, but I agree with DuncanDill that the outline is much too ...

These look great, LordBob. The burner line fleshes out some details for their technology, and avoids being too Mad Max or steampunk. The soldiers have great poses. (In case anyone browsing needs to be reminded, be sure to click on the images, don't just look at the preview.)


It might just be me ...

Something like that, I guess. Hard to know what problem you are having.

You've fixed the main reservations I had, thanks. It now has my blessing.


The one issue I'm not fully sure I get is the tangents on the right hip
Elements that are touching or nearly touching can create an unwanted effect. The outline of the robe+belt and the edge of the paper touching and being ...

That's one way of dealing with it, and it does look better. I'd still go further, since the arms and face are so lean. Also, keeping his right (our left) hip and the hanging robe from being so aligned in with the paper would avoid some near tangents (I just hid that outline in my example, but ...

This is absolutely headed in the right direction, but really could go further. The main issue is the hips/belt; you've slimmed them down and improved the shading, but he's still pear-shaped. If there's something under the robes that make the belt not track his hips/waist, it needs more indication ...

I am playing it again right now; it's a very well-designed campaign overall IMO.
Thank you. It is languishing a bit right now; I had plans for the enemy strength scaling that weren't fully implemented and probably need significant rework. Once BfW 1.20 is released, I can get back to this. Yes, it ...

I'm 100% ok with mainline wesnoth using my art! Laerne is enough.
I personally think that image is a bit wonky I probably will at some point see if I can tweak it a bit.
Thanks. I know what you mean, I'll hold off until you are finished with it.


And here are the chakram unit base sprites ...

You are right, his eyes are a bit crossed. Odd vision seems appropriate for goblins, they aren't the healthiest crew. I got a bit rusty, but goblins are forgiving because they can have weird proportions and aren't expected to be beautiful.

Hello laerne,

The details on the nine-tails are great, but the face is hard to read.

The light background of the forum makes some of the Urumi warrior hard to see, maybe posting these against a terrain background image would help - using one of the terrain hex images as a background layer, if ...

BMR and Archaic Era are languishing, but they are not abandoned. The Northern Orcs faction has long had a goblin variant, but this goblin portrait is a recent addition: It was a little bit dark/dim, but that wasn't entirely an accident.

So I went trough different version of THoT and I only found this quotes from 1.18 in Scenario 3:
"Kal Kartha is the stronghold of numerous, ancient forges. We are at home in deep firepits, as smiths and craftsmen. The mask is a sign of our mastery of the forge."
"And more practically, it shields ...
