The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Hey fellow gamers,

Do you want matches decided by constant bad RNG rolls? Altered game mechanics?

Of course not.

We play games to have fun. To experience thrilling virtual worlds,...

Hello, I'm not new at all to this lovely game but I am new to this forum.
I stopped playing the game in high school because I was too busy.
I recently came back to the game out of pure nostalgia and was pleasantly surprised to see the changes that had taken place over the years.

Hello everyone,

I noticed that, when I CMake-configure Wesnoth for building, LTO is turned off by default. Is this because it's somehow unsafe/unstable? If it is, can someone describe what behavior one can expect with LTO turned on?

Hello,

When I define an unit variation, I know how to modify it. But how can I remove it? Can that be done easily, by first picking the original unit that the variation is based on and then adding lines just to remove features entirely?

In particular - I would like to make (i) Peasant that...

No thread so I post here.

Nifty stuff, even the trees have reflections!

Some tiny quibbles: Would have been cool if the reflections vanish at night. Star and moonlight reflections? Well maybe. Wesnoth doesn't account for the phases of the moon. Well there's an idea for another addon : ) The other...

Hello,
Is there a way to connect a series of maps?

I really enjoy campaigns that are lengthy and allow for the transfer of advanced units.

Essentially, I want to link together X rounds of maps (possibly even random ones) while being able to recruit units from the previous rounds.

The premise is that you're an elvish princess and you have to rule your kingdom. How you rule it is up to you...You can be an evil tyrant or a kind-hearted...

Hello !

My story on why I'm getting back to wesnoth after more than 10 years begins with a snarky remark from my best friend.
“ Why are you trying to use photoshop on windows when you could use an open source equivalent on linux ?  ”
“  I don't know , I replied. Why are you play a proprietary...

My first campaign! After a year and a bit of working solo on this project I decided I should actually publish it. So there will probably be a bunch of things that need tuning. Feedback is appreciated on a whole lot of things (balance, flow, story cohesion).
