The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

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...

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.

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...

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...

With porting of mainline content finished, comes time to look at the true armageddon, add-on units, so I wanted to ask the community, what units would you like to see in PYRA, and what is the reason for proposing these exact units. Does it bring new mechanics? Unusual resistances, defences or...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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.

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?

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).

All in all, literally...

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...
