I hate breaking my distro, if I don't have to. I have a bad habit of running hybrid distros, which end up becoming LFS after 6 months. Ubuntu says 1.65, and I don't want to turn this into a custom system.

But just in case, what is really better in 1.8/1.9?

Re: Eastern Invasion

What? I don't cheat in wesnoth. I even refrain from save-loading. It's probably a corrupt replay. Plus, how could Dacyn have -16 hitpoints? So I'm cheating to make myself worse?! Y'know, there is something called logic. Did you really think I'd try to embarass myself with a replay in where I cheat?...

Holy Cheats!!! You have Dacyn at -16 hit points in the f...

Re: Campaign: Eastern Invasion

But in any case the key to killing the leaders is to have enough level 3s AND enough gold to recall/recruit at least three full keeps. Ah, well, I certainly didn't have that much gold. To be honest, I hate having to milk levels for gold and XP. It seems like I'm on the enemy leader in 8 or 9 turns....

Re: Campaign: Eastern Invasion

If you fled from the trolls and blew up the bridge, ALL units on north side (including units you did not recall) are lost. If you KILL all enemy leaders you keep all your units. That's why I recommend the latter if you have enough high-level troops and enough gold to recall them. I would love to se...

Re: Eastern Invasion

I just finished this campaign, and I have to say it is among the best and worst campaigns I've played. It probably does the best job of using the levels creatively, which makes it feel more like a story. Other campaigns use the storyline as an excuse to stick you in the "kill all enemy leaders&...
