The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

HttT has not undergone any significant change in 7+ years. I am currently reworking the scenarios one by one, updating some of the wording, dialogue, maps and general gameplay. At this time, the intent is not to change the story, add new characters, kill off old ones, or make any major plot...

This is the main development thread for the mainline campaign The South Guard . The original first post for this thread follows.

This is the main development thread for the mainline campaign A Tale of Two Brothers . The original first post for this thread follows.

Hi. I want to report a bug in 1.18.5.

I have added a custom zombie unit type which can be both male or female by adding a tag into .

Hello,

This is the official feedback thread for a campaign I have written while procrastinating for the latest exams, I called it Affably Evil. It is about a guy who is, as it's sometimes called, affably evil. He is a nice guy, but he is not a good guy. He hates killing (dead men are bad...

Hi community,

Have we ever seen UMCs with supply constraints? For example, forcing units to stay close to certain resource points or to store provisions. I think this could add an interesting strategic challenge, especially for players who like to plan for the long term. Would WML or Lua allow...

Hello

I am running into issues with wayland and wesnoth crashing while running under xwayland (I assume that's how it's running anyway) since updating Fedora KDE to the latest version where wayland is enforced. This issue was not present before when I was running under X11, and occurs when...

I'm so tired of losing critical fights despite 65%, 75% or 90% odds of killing the enemy. Any consistent strategy becomes impossible, every time everything can go wrong and whole game turns around. ESPECIALLY bad on tiny maps when first confrontations happen when both players only have a bunch of...

Hi everyone! I'm glad to introduce my add-on, Invincibles Conquest II!

Basically, it's just World Conquest II with the LotI item system and extra advancements on top of it. WC II items retained as well. Combining good LotI equipment with WC II artifacts can make truly OP units ;)

The add-on...

I am making a LotI era to get a lighter dependency on LotI for my campaign, which currently has LotI as a dependency, although I do not need the scenarios.
