The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Okay folks, you've persuaded me to come out of retirement and try to finish the campaign that so many of you have been crying out for.

I'm currently playing through the campaign to reach the last scenario out of the ones written. I have made the odd tweak where something was obviously wrong and/or...

Hi and welcome to The League of Glory! The 1v1 Tournament like no other!

Due to the realitive calmness of the servers at this time we have decided to shake things up by organising a tournament. The tradition of the annually hosted 1v1 tournament must go on. 1v1 is one of the core pillars of...

After decades of seeking, finally a huge part of Argan's Journey has been found in parts of Elynia Diaries. Although many historians have suspected about the liability of the Journal, others insisted to publish it
A huge re-work have been made in just one month (between April and May 2022).

this is feedback/changelog thread for Altered era/ruleset

this era is an attempt to redesign, rebalance and re-flavor BfW's multiplayer factions according to author's taste (seven races/factions are altered so far).
it also adds some custom rules to make late games on big maps more challenging...

I ran this several times for 1 vs 1s.

Both side are same alignment - e.g. UD vs. Orc, Loyalist vs. Rebel, Dwarf vs. Rebel - can't really take huge adventage of ToD.

Opponent will not cross midline of map - just wait at his side with a good ZOC line so you can't get more than 2-3 tiles on his...

In this thread I share my art - for the most part - portaits and concepts for GSE aka The Great Steppe Era ( for the purposes of critique, feedback and improvement.
Unfortunately, I am lousy at technical stuff, as a result - my first two portraits (witch and vampire) were not originally in 400x400...

Hi all!

I'm a human-computer interaction researcher looking into the expectations that players have of AI in strategy games, among a few other things. One of the things I'm looking into is suspense/tension, and for that purpose I've made a scenario to play through, and a questionnaire to fill out...

Being probably one of the ... older accounts here (gosh I am getting old), I used
to play quite some old DOS games.

I thought perhaps others did too (the old folks).

Anyone of these turn-based variants that you liked?

I go with my list first:

(1) Battle Isle

I liked them all.

Hello Everyone,

I would like to use images from the Wesnoth game within mods I create for Minetest . Among them arrows, icons and images for dialogs. The problem is that I don't know how to correctly refer to the original artists.
According to this wiki page some images are licensed under GPLv2...

I`m especially interesting in finding TL archmage, siege wars and settlers of catalan. Also interested in any mod that have builidings and technology. TL archamge was from 1.5 i think , i`m not sure what versions are the other two.

I'm working AI project for school that involves reinforcement learning. I use wesnoth as a test environment. The project interfaces to wesnoth using Lua. I tried the Lua interface from another repository and it all works fine except for the most basic CA that supposed to just pass the turn:

Hello, I am inferno8 and this thread is about my era. The Era of Magic has been in development since 2007 and at the moment contains 8 playable factions with fully animated units (243 total) and tons of special effects. The aim of the EoMa is to make the most visually appealing and nice to play UMC...

When I create a description for a race (as it is shown in the help section), I got the idea to add elements like the script (language) used by that race but I don't know how to add an image in this description . Is it possible to do so? and how?

Hey everyone!

It has been quite some time since I last posted on this forum. But since I don't quite wanted to vanish without saying a word, I thought I might just say goodbye officially.
Wesnoth has had a huge impact on my life. I still remember the first time I saw the game, playing it on my...

Hi there!
I know that everyone is busy here, however maybe there will be some friendly soul who could create a set of animations for the sprites of the Akladian faction? I've added two examples of the sprites (base frames).

Looking for portrait recommendations for The Unstoppable Legion;

Hi everybody.

Now that I am nearly at the end of my monster campaign, I am turning attention to portraits. This started off in the days on the old square portraits, when it also looked okay to just use the unit image. Portraits have...

Hello,

this is the official feedback thread for this campaign I'm trying to write in my free time. I have currently a good idea of what will happen in it but it takes time making it in Wesnoth. It is the story of a simple farmer that will end saving the whole continent from an arch-demon. The...

This is the feedback forum for the Legend of the Invincibles singleplayer campaign. If you have played the campaign and have any comments regarding it (bugs, difficulty), feel free to post about it here, I am interested in reading it, even if it is a petty thing. Because of the size of the...

after fairly long game under I started to get several messages (see attached screenshot and zipped log file) every turn when some AI sides take their turn

The c to continue key is nice but it could be even nicer if a new key was added to allow a I don't care I'm going to my destination no matter what. mode.

Often I want to send a unit towards the enemy and I really don't care what he runs into. Hitting c repeatedly (3-4 times even) is rather...

This is a bit of a loose suggestion or loose question.

I had a look at some of the campaigns (on the forum here) and I think it would be nice if a general
header could be added to all campaigns there (on the forum, on the very first page of each thread).

This information could include, for...

The main purpose of this thread is to discuss the arabic translation of Wesnoth.
Until now, I added only the translation of the wesnoth-editor while I am in the middle of the translation of wesnoth-anl and wesnoth-anl
Notes:
- the units names will be translated as they are in the english version...

The Era Default Magical Noob is an add-on made to give players more advancement options, with a number of new units added to the default factions. Each new unit is made with a consistent art style to ensure that they blend in with the existing units of the default factions. Additionally, two new...

Is there a method to utilize recruit lists from different eras in campaigns?
The multiplayer mode already allows me to select different eras but they use custom lists.

We are excited to release to you fellow Wesnoth Fans, a little treat. For those of you that have played Eastern Europe at War, the Infantry Wars Era, or 18th Century Warfare, this mod will probably appeal to you. This is going to be another historic mod to add to your *favorite* mod library. The...

I've looked at a lot of different forums about adding an add-on to the add-on server, but I still can't figure it out.
I have both the _main.cfg and _server.pbl files inside my era (Age_of_Space) folder.

_server.pbl contains this:
title= Age of Space
type= era

Inspired by things such as The Reign of the Lords adding level 4 and 5 units which I felt was long overdue and RangedAttacksMod, Plan_Your_Advancements_Mod, Elves_Banding_For_War among other nice addons that have popped up, I made Shards Era. It's on the Wesnoth 1.16 addons server. This era allows...
