The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

So I have some feedback on the new rewrite. It keeps to the original tone throughout, and I really like it - up until the last scenario. ESR changed something that the new writer expanded upon. I think people thought it might have been a mistake, but it was intentional. I don't think I told anybody ...

Did you know that before ESR changed it, the original order was to lock the gates, not just guard them. The raiders intended to slaughter everybody. There was a solid picket around the entire town. This was previously a slightly darker, bleaker campaign.

I generally like the dialog changes made to the campaign overall, including this scenario. There are very few things about the updated Liberty dialog I would recommend changing back, but the turn 4 event is one of them. Having now played through both versions, the new one seems too abrupt to carry o...

Hello, at some point along the way, the music tag changed from frantic.ogg to the_dangerous_symphony.ogg. It really does not hit the same. Would the current HTTT campaign maintainer object to changing it back? #change the music to being frantic as lots of orcs arrive [music] name=the_dangerous_symph...

I just noticed that this scenario has been called "Test of the Clan" in the game. It has been this way since version 1.0 twenty years ago. Would the current maintainer for HTTT object to changing the name to "Test of the Clans"? name= _ "Test of the Clan" name= _ "...

Liberty was intended to be not challenging. The original idea was to test out the new tools for creating campaigns, make up a fun story, and (most importantly) think up new types of scenario twists.

It took a long time to dial back the difficulty just enough to avoid the whole thing becoming an unwinnable cluttered morass, so it was supposed to have a slight easy bias, but not too much so. I wonder if this scenario fell out of balance over time with changes to the default behavior of the AI or ...

The only campaign I have never been able to complete is Northern Rebirth, so I think that's the hardest. It's not for lack of trying, although it has been a while. Maybe I'll fire it up again.

That's an interesting critique. The original intention was to add a way to have Delfador home in on the location if you let him rest to help you overcome the lack of mobility. The problem is that you have no knowledge of randomly placed items once placed. One remedy for this is putting it in the sam...

I always hated the fact that the change to terrain movement had a huge effect on this scenario. It used to be snowy woods didn't act like snow for movement - it acted like woods. If you could replace some of the border snowy forest with regular forest and not have the map look weird, it might be les...

It might be good to have some dialog by any clan leaders you have the 1. announce their presence and 2. state that their knights are battling orcs off your flank, on some other imaginary map somewhere. That way you get the illusion of an all-out pitched war without messing up the main tactical battl...

I would get rid of the lava. In retrospect, it might also look better to have more vertical paths to create a narrower-looking, linear map rather than a roundish map with fat roundish chambers. It should still play the same.

Hi! Not sure if it's already been pointed out, but I just noticed what is apparently a small mistake in the dialogue of Return to Oldwood interlude. The tree guy says: "You have indeed shown yourself a tree-friend, I would there were more I could do to help you", which doesn't seem to mak...

Allow campaigns to define badges similar to those you find on wikipedia . This is a basic example, because the variations are endless . There is a set of simple parameters you use to define these nifty little boxes, mainly text, text color, background color, and image. "This player has complete...

Is this return permanent?

Hello again. Sorry, it's not. I look in from time to time, and I'm glad to see that things are moving along well. I just couldn't resist this thread.
