The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

A somewhat belated (sorry!) update for iOS is in progress.

I'm working on a couple of known bugs:

* When opening Add-Ons screen, if a certain (unknown) add-on is installed, the game crashes.
Known to reproduce on iPad Air 2, maybe on other hardware too. A workaround is to reinstall the game. Save...

Hi,
I'm balancing a scenario (v1.16.10 on Windows 11) and would like to tweak the AI recruitment but can't get the exact behaviour I'd like.
I have an AI that has a fairly extensive recuit list but I really want 2 types to be favoured (i.e. have more of them being recruited).

I've tried...

Describe the problem you would like to solve

It can be difficult for a new player to know where to start, because there are so many campaigns, scenarios, factions and addons. The large number of choices is disorienting and this can reduce a new player's confidence. With more choices, they are...

Hello, everyone,

I think Battle for Wesnoth is awesome. I’m wondering what people think would make it even more awesome if the board of directors had a pile of moolah.

Note that this is a different question than the one asked many times ( improvements poll , mainline story , 1.15 roadmap ,...

Hi all,

Happy approaching summer. In light of my own enjoyment of Wesnoth and desire to market it to other players, along with fairly common suggestions from others about marketing , and the recent re-release of some similar turn-based strategy/ turn-based tactics games , I thought I would try my...

Wesvoid is an old incomplet campaign (from BfW 1.2).
I used to play it although it is uncompleted but I enjoyed it.
Now, I am planning to port it to BfW 1.16 and to prepare it to 1.17 (and I hope someone helps me to complete or refined it) .
War-Torn is a beautiful (but simple) campaign from BfW...

So I ransacked some of the excellent artwork from Spacenoth and put together a space scenario.

Players must travel the galaxy, colonise planets, build a fleet and capture the enemy's homeworlds. It's kind of a cross between A New Land and High Seas, and partly inspired by Masters of Orion. When...

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

Since Liberty is a mainline campaign as of Wesnoth 1.3.7, here's a thread for discussing it, reporting problems and making suggestions.

For the 1.2-compatible add-on campaign,...

A couple of friends and I have been trying to code this scenario for over a week now, and for the most part we managed to make it work, except for the main objective.

In this scenario, the player in the center (the Pit Lord) is pitched against 8 other players cornering him, but these 8 players...

Wings of Victory v0.8.0 is now available on the 1.14 add-on server.

A Drake campaign, it is fully armed and operational with 11 fully playable scenarios plus 2 story only.

In A bargain is struck I'm told to move 4 caravans and Alanin to the dwarvish citadel. I've done that twice now, but no acknowledgment appears to say I've won, the battle goes on - any ideas? I've played many of the other scenarios without the slightest problem of this nature.

I'm playing at...

Greetings! My name is Inferno8, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to my add-on - Era of Magic (EoMa). Since 2007, I've been working tirelessly to create an immersive and visually stunning addition to Battle for Wesnoth. With over 8 playable factions boasting more than 290 fully animated units, EoMa...

I am facing this error every time,i play a campaign,where i have elvish units.I am playing on Windows 10, wesnoth version 1.16.10.Can someone help me how to fix it?

Hello! I created my first campaign on Battle for Wesnoth and I was following all the instructions on posting it on the add-ons list, but it doesn't work because when I agree to the guidelines it disconnects from the add-ons server (it says Error - Remote host disconnected).
I use Windows 10 and...

I just published on the Addons Manager the mod I worked on since some weekends : Advance Wesnoth Wars, for BfW 1.14.

I know a lot of you are not fond of RNG system, that mod should be for you ! I'm not saying I don't like the actual system, but you can try the mod to compare which mechanic you...

Well, it is this time of the year again. To (hopefully) lighten up the dark time, I decided to make another advent calendar. This year the topic is tiny little animal pictures, that can be used for units or decoration for your add-ons or games. They have no means to be perfect or great art, but I...

No thread for this fantastic map pack so I post here.

I've had this one for ages and while it is very well done I've found a few little things in that time. I have forgotten the older ones but I just came across one that I thought I'd mention.

The log shows that Lakeland has wrong side numbers....

wouldn't it be more convenient to call current (1.16.x) or next (1.18.x) release series version 2.0 (2.0.x)?

compared to Wesnoth 1.14.x, Wesnoth 1.16.x has plenty of changes which are not backward-compatible:
1) switches from 32-bit binaries to 64-bit ones
2) drops support for windows XP (I guess...

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...

seems to be very few things that 'tries' to make the ui better or does new or interesting things, tested one of them so far

for all of the addons that changes or updates the ui ('themes'), what code language do each of them use so can see whats needed to learn

one of them is 'combat info theme'...

was talking with a player who wanted to make maps for different things

and related to making maps, was wondering what exactly 'multihex scenery technique' was

assuming it just means putting graphics/images into each hex so they show a picture

if 'multihex scenery technique' means more...

Hello, everyone.

If you’ve lurked in the Art Workshop forums lately, you’ll notice I’ve been working on a new faction.

Ironically, this seems to be badly timed, as I had no clue there was currently work being done revise the dunefolk and their lore.

This faction exist in the far eastern...
