The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I started off favouring red mages, but now I prefer the elf sorceress line when available because the Sylph's mobility and 70% forest defence are amazing.

Playing with the bombs is lots of fun (especially setting traps and baiting enemy leaders with them.) I've seen enemy units surviving with 1 hp too though, possibly because they're shapeshifters, which seems a bit odd. This is admittedly motivated by an internal design concern with regards to the i...

I had deployed a bomb near one of those "Matrix flow system", and at the beginning of IA's turn it had recruited a unit (crossbowman). But when it did blow up, the crossbowman wasn't injured at all. Playing with the bombs is lots of fun (especially setting traps and baiting enemy leaders ...

Ok, now the NE leader decides to recruit 1 invader instead of 6 and the start is about 100 times easier :p I don't suppose there's a way to fix the recruit order to avoid the difficulty being so random?

And there's an imp with both Slow and Quick traits, lol

Maybe I just had extremely bad luck with the spawns because 6/6 invaders spawned shapeshifters for me leading to a loss via hero assassination - I'll try it again. Thanks.

E3S4 - Shapeshifters - Bug? Code starting at line 1885 appears to turn all eligible units into shapeshifters - The shapeshifter unit is gamebreaking: - Skirmisher units should not also be walking tanks (unless player went out of his way to level Spectres, there's no other recruitable arcane damage o...

Episode 3 is making a strong start so far, comments Mission 1: Well balanced defensive scenario. The outlaw unit set is generally just cannon fodder, but on the plus side there's plenty of defensible terrain and I'm happy to sacrifice them to level up my loyal units and faeries. Mission 2: Real edge...

Episode II: (medium difficulty) 1) By the Moonlight - best strategy in this one seems to be to take over all allied villages and let their units that charged out die while building up a large force of ruffians to hit the enemy in the open fields in front of town... would be funny if the allied leade...

(1) What difficulty level and version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on? 1.9.9, medium (2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) 0. Enemy forces are clearly outnumbered. The east orc AI and Howgarth even split their forces and killed Shan Taum before my wolves could get there. (3)...

Indeed it did; besides the hints above, you may notice a distinct lack of demons, except for the stronghold in Return to Wesmere . For me, and I suspect most players, the Shaxthals were the main antagonists all along and I didn't even notice the demons were absent. What we see ingame is the Shaxtha...

Medium difficulty, 1.9.9 Congratulations on finishing episode 1! The final boss fight is fun as always, but the crawl to the end is long and a bit on the boring/easy side - feels like it needs one or two of those high-respawn-rate areas or a better mini-boss to spice things up. Ending is very unsati...

Didn't notice any bugs in scenario 11. It did take me most of my 450 gold to get through it on the first run on normal, although I don't think I played it optimally. I took the approach of moving S/SW to defeat the southern enemy forces in the field. My level 1 recruits took very high casualties, es...

Tears didn't seem all that bad with a mix of veterans (elves, sorcerers, ghosts) and level 1 orc grunts backed by Quenoth Captain leadership. I do agree that the assault drones that sit around waiting to pounce on any unit that moves in range are pretty annoying.

Completed scenario 10 on 0.4.2, guess we're not really supposed to have those loyal orcs after all Although recruiting expendable grunts for 12 gold to cover the more important units is probably a better strategy than trying to keep loyal orcs alive in any case.

Thanks for the quick fix, but the update isn't working for me on 1.9.9 for some reason: "a problem occurred when trying to create the files necessary to install this add-on"
