The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

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.

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...

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...

Hi there, I've tried asking for translation help in the Scenario & Campaign Development forum, but I haven't gotten any takers there yet, so I figured I'd try crossposting here as well (hopefully that's okay). Here's my list of things I'd like help with:

Updated translations for ANO ; see this...

Hello, I am inferno8 and some of you may know me as the creator of the Era of Magic.

This thread is about my campaign called 'To Lands Unknown'.

What makes this campaign special is the usage of multi-hex landscape maps. I am proud to say...

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 the beginning of a 1.16 campaign, a tale of a rookie wesnothian officer and the part he, along with those he meets on his way, plays in a war against a new orcish onslaught. (yes I am copypasting the same exact description everywhere, why do you ask...).

You play as loyalists (joined by...

I downloaded this from the 1.16.x server today and it's non-functional.
As in, does not even load.

(it's non-functional since dropping scenario editor files into a scenarios folder and not converting them to before release)

There was no feedback link provided so posting it here.

Additionally,...

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...

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...

Instead of automatically advancing as soon as the unit has a certain amount of experience, the player can make it more powerful by purchasing it some upgrades using its experience points as currency. I know XP Modification, but it’s way too simple and unbalanced in my opinion. It can’t replace the...

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...

(EDIT: also applies to user-made campaigns except campaigns included in same UMC as UI theme)
(EDIT#2: UI themes installed as can be used with any campaigns BUT...

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

So the Imperial Era (complete with a full cast of Roman Lavinian legionaires, gladiator Orc(e)s, Issaelfr frost elves, mysterious mainline Cavernei dwarves, barbarian Marauders, Dark Sidhe elves and also some Arendians) is back for 1.9 and getting ready for 1.10 (it's on the 1.9 add-on server right...

Because of this topic, I have an impression that some players want to be capable to take veterans from one campaign and start another campaign with them. I think that it's quite a wacky opinion considering the balance problems it would cause, but let's allow the kids to have fun. I've coded it and...

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...

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! I found in man wesnoth that there is --unsafe-scripts option. It says --unsafe-scripts makes the package package available to lua scripts, so that they can load arbitrary packages.

Can somebody guide me what exactly it unlocks and how would be possible to use, let's say, file io if this is...

Hi,
I'm (still :doh:) developing a new campaign and have a query regarding the following warning that appears multiple times in the logfile.

error deprecation: unit.side has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.17.0.; This returns 0 for side 1 etc and should not be used. Use...

The Thelien Attack

It is said the Elvish Invasion of the Far North had been crushed by the might of Great Chief Kapou’e, Son of the Black-Eye. Little known was the part played by the Saurians of the Black Marshes. This is their yarn, perhaps the most significant in the downfall of the last of...

I created a new add-on based on Ravana's XP Modification ( It provides a right-click menu that allows you to spend unit experience for upgrades. The costs in XP can be changed during game creation.

It also adds a Noob upgrade option that provides 100 hitpoints, 10 movement and 2 strikes for a...
