The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

(1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on? Medium (2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) 3 - Pretty easy (3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives? Not as clear as they could be. The objective just say to kill the orcs and the gryphons. They d...

Have you ever tried to use his skirmish ability, or backstabbing, or poison, or the lovely high defense??? How can you say he's not useful??? First time I played HttT, i also just leveled up some units and kept recalling them over and over. The last battle was horrible, because i didn't have many h...

I didn't have much trouble with this scenario on Medium difficulty, but I also had a decent recall list. The big move for me was to setup a line of strong units on my side of the the river interspersed with level 1 fodder which usually became the focus of the computer's attack, and force Li'sar's un...

Being a pretty new sprite maker here, one thing that I found was absolutely vital to learning and getting better, was to take all advice on board in the early stages. The people here really know what they're doing, and even if you might not agree with the advice, try it out anyway.Also, Many times, ...

(1) What difficulty level and version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario 1.4.1 - Medium (2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) 7 (at first 10, then I found a pretty good strategy) (3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives? Completely (4) How clear and interesting did you f...

Cool, thanks for the advice everyone.

I very much like the mentor idea, and will start to bring up some more level 1s.

I do have one max leveled thief/assassin from the Siege battle (forgot about him). I haven't found him all that useful so far... Should I level a couple more of them?

Hi Everyone, I'm a big player of campaigns. For me, most of the fun is leveling up multiple units to their most advanced state, and then moving those core units along. I'm now in the middle (scenario 13) of HttT on medium difficulty (my first time through this campaign). I've got a pretty decent rec...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I didn't get a chance to work on him last night, as was out with friends having too much to drink

I'll see if I can squeeze some time in at work today to work on him, and try and fix the legs up.

Thanks again all,

On the second sprite, his sword is too small, and is too close in colour to his armour/shirt. For a heavy warrior type, he should definitely have either a bigger sword, or polearm of some type. I'd recommend adding length and colour to the weapon. Blue is always nice for a sword to give it the 'coba...

This is really good, potatomanjack. Especially the hood looks excellent. There are a couple things that you could tweak to make it look even better: 1. His left shoulder looks a bit odd - like the armor is digging into his body. 2. Looking at it again, his legs seem a bit skimpy compared to the swo...

Gotcha,

But I seem to now have the aliasing problem again...

You could do with anti aliasing the edge of the sword a bit - it's currently very noticeably stepped. Possibly making the feet a little bigger would be good too. Again, compare them to those on a mainline sprite. But otherwise, this looks good. The only other thing i'd suggest would be to use a wid...

Cool, thanks for the links

They will really help me learn the process of building sprites.

The next version of the Runeblade is done, and I'm getting pretty psyched about the results. I think he's looking pretty cool now if I may say so myself.

Cheers,

Er... if you follow the links that TSI gave you (this is always a good idea) you will find the tutorial you are looking for. I did read those tutorials. What I meant to say was a picture tutorial showing the development of a sprite from scratch starting with like an outline, then 1st colouring, sec...
