I've made a couple campaigns (initially for 1.12, now ported to 1.16) and am considering switching to 1.18. But I'm not sure I understand the new add-on structure and its "ID".

Given all my campaigns happen in a specific non-Wesnoth universe with dozens of custom units, I definitely see the...

I don't see "-" mentioned though.
Oh well, at some point it was removed, I found out the hard way, but it's okay. Stuff happens.

After a long hiatus I'm playing some games again (1.16), and somehow the new "combat hit" random generator seems strange to me. Illogical. Level 1 enemies routinely bash my level 2 units, which only rarely seem to get a hit in. I don't remember this from the previous version I used (1.12). Note I'm...
