The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

First ... the forum is a bit confusing. For example I can not write in the art contribution sector, so I am posting here. But in the long run, perhaps the whole forum could be a bit cleaned up; some subthreads seem dead/inactive. But this is an aside - to the main topic. Wesnoth has some high qualit...

I can not remember the abbreviations or names for campaigns. I think my favourite ones are still the two arabian nights - first the one with the flying carpet unit; but the other one where you have hero units is pretty cool too ... there are also djinni in that one. There is also some epic-long one ...

I think doofus-01 missed part of the point - it is not about an "obligation" to be transparent. Neither that transparency only has to exist because of bad actors. I think transparency in and itself is a great reason to have, even if everyone is a good actor. Others show how this can be done, e. g. t...

I like them a lot, mostly due to mobility, but of course also due to power.

Only problem is amassing the XP which, in campaigns, can take a little while.

I realized that I can not play with units that are slow, such as these shock troopers, so I cater to quick units in general.

Right now we see the names of enemy units. I am wondering though - has anyone of you partaking in any wars (yes yes ...) known the name of the enemies? "Hey Joe, do you see Tom over there, the guy from Vietnam, and Jimmy, from Australia? Our enemies? I'm gonna whack them down... and then I proceed w...

There are campaigns that have artwork, including character portraits. And then there are campaigns that have some portraits but not all of them do. Read: some portraits are missing. This is a bit annoying when you play a campaign, have nice artwork and then suddenly some character speaks that has no...

Dude - you gots way too much time on your hand.

I did not even notice. Even now looking at it I realize that I do not even care to look at such details.

I am mostly interested in gameplay related aspects per se.

> Old SNES games have in been in de facto public domain for two decades at least. I guess it depends on what jurisdiction you can rely on. Here locally I am not even sure how much "public domain" applies, e. g. in Germany. Normally when any copyright is slapped onto something, it stays there for 70 ...

> I think that player's rating can encourage people to play more. That is one assumption - the other may be that fewer players may play as a consequence. I don't have a real pro or con opinion, although I am mostly sceptical. But I believe that you could state that player rating may be optional for ...

Purely from a word definition alone, to me defence is very different from evasion. In the first I assume some defensive moves, which might include a step-back AND parry step with a shield or a weapon; in the latter I always complete dodging altogether without any contact whatsoever. At the least tha...

I would like to suggest simplifing colours. Specifically I would like to: a) show ALL enemy units, aka that I can attack, in RED colour b) show all ALLIED and FRIEND units in GREEN (or blue or whatever) Reasoning: In particular in large add-on campaigns with huge maps, there are several factions fig...

Hello, I made a break again some time ago, largely due to reallife. Every now and then I look back to wesnoth to see what is new. I am reluctant to try out the 1.14.x branch largely because I know it quite well and am more curious about anything that may change. I think a few wesnoth devs are workin...

I think the poll is fine as it is, even if there were a "hidden intent" by the one who wrote the poll. It's a very simple poll. I answered yes because, firstly, that is the real answer - I do indeed reload. However had, I don't always reload. I also never use the term "save scumming" - it's pure pro...

Personally I think it is not a good idea to store hashes, as filenames or directory names, just as Ravana has pointed out. The linux distribution nixOS makes use of that, and while the underlying (whole) design of nixos is very interesting ("bring reproducibility into linux"), it is very ugly (and e...

> nightmaiden and bloodmaiden felt extremely similar, there isn't really any impact damage I guess it may always be possible to distinguish different units more. Could be through simple differences, like time-modifiers or some semi-new abilities such as becoming temporarily stronger after killing a ...
