So, having downloaded Wesnoth a month or so ago, I decided I'd like to try my hand at making a campaign. I thought up a story hook and what I thought would be an interesting quirk, and started coding (if WML counts as coding). At this point, the campaign is "complete" in the sense that it is...

Last post

The add-on is currently available in my Codeberg repository. I haven't yet tried it in 1.19, but I'm pretty sure it works in 1.18.

I do intend to update it, but it's been hard finding the time.

Father and Sons is a completed, story-driven ogre campaign for Battle for Wesnoth 1.18.

The campaign follows Afatsum, the son of Chieftain Ghoruk, in the Heartfangs during 536 YW. What begins as a simple hunt caused by hunger gradually turns into a struggle involving family, old debts, magic,...

The main downside I can see is that allowing AI art could make it much more common, and as a result, the work of people who don’t use AI might end up getting less visibility.
