The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Hello everyone,

The unprecedented balance changes introduced in version 1.18 have sparked quite a lot of controversy, and it's clear that unit balance remains a topic of significant interest and discussion. As most of you know, currently the people with official authority over unit stats are the...

UPDATE 2024-10-03 - TDG version 2.0 is now released! Available on both 1.18 and 1.19.

Yearning for adventure, a newly-trained apprentice from the magic academy at Alduin fights alongside Wesnoth’s king during a major war against the orcs of the north. Play a pivotal role during this time of...

Comeback for wesnoth school?

Last weekend I streamed of an mood again, for 7 hours reading through Cackfiends strategy guide. This was surprisingly fun, therefore I too my equipment with me to my university hostel. With this I can record videos on almost daily bases, but uploading isn't going to...

Hi,
I'd really like to play the good old Modified World Conquest by ChaosRider, i have no understanding of all that is behind the game as much as coding etcc.., i tried tho to copy the add-on downloaded from the internet in the add-on folder, but in 1.14 and 1.16 versions it does not work.
I even...

In dark times, a band of outlaws decided to move to the south and live a new life, so a new point appeared on the map of Kerlat province - the Lair of Thugs. Pass through a series of simple challenges and find out the fate of this place in our beginner's campaign!
(Novice level, 4 scenarios.)...

Hello everyone. This is the development thread for The Shadow Returns campaign for 1.18.

This campaign is my personal revision of The Dark Hordes.

This is the story of an age when the glory of Wesnoth had become but a memory of days long past. The fugitive necromancer Gwiti Ha’atel is...

Hello everyone,
I am glad to introduce the campaign Palms amid Blue Dunes to the wesnoth community! It has been a pet project of mine for quite a time, experiencing varying degrees of productivity and interest. And as with all projects, it is a most rewarding feeling to finally announce the...

From the Journal of Ardonna of Tarrynth:
It's unfair that we humans must die after so few years. Though this is the natural order, we need not embrace it! The lords on the Green Isle knew how to live forever. Pursuit of that knowledge was declared illegal by King Haldric I, but I believe it is...

Hello,

there is a lot of material on how to create good animations (e.g. but it mostly talks about the images part. But another part of the animation is actually in the WML. I.e. things like these:

How far does the unit slide into the tile of the opponent?
Does it maybe even go back before...

Hello, Wesnothians!

A March of Justice is a rather short hybrid campaign for up to 3 players, set in the icy steppes of the far north. It has 7 playable scenarios. Since it's my first go at an MP campaign, I'm sharing it early hoping to receive useful feedback or help in spotting MP-specific bugs...

Elvish Dynasty is a highly randomized fantasy kingdom simulator for Wesnoth. It's available for download on the dev (1.7) server.

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...

Implementing my old idea. This is the same as the Default/Age of Heroes era but with random options for every non-empty subset of factions. If you wished to play 'Any faction but X' or 'X or Y or Z randomly', this will save you from restarting games if a wrong faction rolls.

Version 1.0.0 just...

Hello all,

I'm having an issue I wonder if anyone can help me with. For some reason, the health and exp. bars on my units are whited out almost to the point I can't read them. They weren't like this before, but I noticed it happened once I started a recent map. Have I accidentally hit a hotkey or...

I set up a Github workflow for running WML tools on the repo of my custom era. I thought it could be interesting for some. Feel free to use and adapt it it if you think it's useful for you as well.

The tricky bits are:

I need the mainline Wesnoth repository, but that is huge and I only want the...

In a world fraught with danger, the Blunn house must rally against a dual threat: relentless Duke and an emerging orcish horde. Their journey leads them through treacherous lands, compelling them to forge alliances and confront dark forces.

Hi, all. I'm rather new to the forums and this is my first post (though I have been lurking for a while), so please bear with me if I'm not very knowledgeable on the workings of the forums. :) (I have read the Guidelines and such, but that can only do you so much when you first join a community,...

After quite some time working more or less intense on my add-on i decided to release it to get some feedback. It's called The Rising the kind of typical elf goes out of forest, and saves the world campaign that nearly every new campaign creator makes, and it aims to be much more epic than it...

Hi.
Any idea how to simulate combat for a specific weapon of the defender?
according to wiki:
It should be like this... but that is not working.

Hello, dear Wesnothers!
It’s me again, opening a thread in this section one last time as I embark on what is likely my final campaign.
This is the sequel to Return from the Abyss . To be honest, RftA was originally meant to be a quick prequel to this one ( :lol: ). Every now and then, I dusted off...

This is a feedback thread for my Balanced Era of Default/Ladder Era for 1v1 competitive play.

Initially it's only meant as a replacement to 1.18 broken Ladder Era, that we can still play Ladder/competitive with an balanced era.
Unsure what to do with it, however with version 2.0.0 I decide to...

unit.flying does not appear.

Units that fly, according to flying = yes , should have a unit.flying variable.
For me, in this circumstance, it does not appear. The code below triggers with gryphons, bats, gliders.
And unit.flying never appears.

Welcome to my humble abode, traveler, I hope you stay a while! Maybe you could look through my gallery to pass the time... If you need me message me 4:00-6:30 GMT or 17:30-19:00 GMT. Though I should be available all day on weekends The lavatory is on the right if you need it. Feel free to sift...

Quoting Makisu about the challenge:

What would it consist of? Well, anyone willing would have a week to make a themed graphic, where a few guidelines would be specified, such as: theme, race, purpose (and whatever else you yourself propose) e.g.: theme: foot scout; race: unspecified/any; purpose:...

In Ageless you have Cyclop 1 lvl unit from Era of Magic. In WOTG Cyclop is a 2nd lvl unit.

Which one tree of cyclop advancement guys do you prefer?

I've decided to have a special mage in my campaign that only advances to the white mage line. I'm calling it the cleric. It needs work.

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the development of the mainline campaign The Legend of Wesmere .

Please check the version of Wesnoth you are using before posting.
Comments on the 1.7 and 1.8 versions are meant to go there:

There are feedback threads for...

Hi everyone! I've got a couple of requests to gather stats for Afterlife Rated 1.18 . As there are 5000+ games already, we can have a decent sample size to judge what's going on (although, as ratings were reset and it's just 5000 raw games, that wouldn't compare to Afterlife 1.16 year's stats)....
