The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Better to make a forum post than spam Discord, so here we are.
-- This post was originally prompted by a conversation on Discord about mainline campaigns, and then I felt compelled to write a bit about each. The results of this endeavor are below.

Flight to Freedom is the story of the great Drake leader Malakar, who saw the near-destruction of his tribe at the hands of a dark wizard, and of how he gathered his shattered people and set out on a dangerous journey across unknown lands in the hopes of bringing them back home.

Feedback thread:...

Just tried this and first impression is that it's pretty cool and nifty. The art is swell and it even has anims! The theme is also interesting, I still have to play more to get a better picture. It does seem to be a variation of the (now) classic zombie plague. But all praise aside I do have to...

Axioms Of Dominion is a project I got about 40% through and then had to let go for life stuff. Now I have roughly a year where I shouldn't have anything else to do so I'm hoping to release in late 2022 or very early 2023 if I run into serious issues.

I'd advise reading the wiki for a broad...

We are excited to release to you fellow Wesnoth Fans, a little treat.

This is going to be another historic mod to add to your *favorite* mod library. The...

Hi everyone! In this topic I want to share stats on the Afterlife gamemode as it's played in AfterBot (rated Afterlife). This is the first stats made for any Wesnoth mode that is not 1v1.

The total sample size is 4716 valid games played on AfterBot. From them for the most of my studies I selected...

I am looking into the core as a way to load past translated content.

The core is a lightweight mechanism for isolating an add-on from the game configuration. In this way we can see it as sandboxing.
The two limits to the independence to the game engine are:

Is there an add-on that contain a music playlist (a special menu-item to choose scenario music during every scenario)?

Heroes is an add-on for Wesnoth 1.13.6+, that features 22 unique heroes, that are mostly known from my three campaigns Oath of Allegiance , Ashen Hearts and Carved in Stone .

They are the foundation for a deathmatch-mode: Heroes also comes with the map The Sphere , in which 6 previously picked...

Each time a translatable string is changed in mainline content (code for UI or WML/lua for content) the corresponding translations in all languages become fuzzy . It highlights that people needs to check the translation again to see if it is valid.

Hi,
I have a bit of a problem. My game crashes when I try to play some additional content game. The problem never occurs, when I play with my low-performance laptoo, only on my gaming PC.

Thanks you for helping me

Hello Wesnoth Community !

I’m very happy to announce you the release of my new campaign, From Rocks And Blood. The campaign is available to download on Wesnoth 1.14.14 in addon list.

I’m very happy to publish it because I started to work on it… In 2011 !
Of course, I stopped to play wesnoth...

Recently I started to create several icons of goods for my trading scenario.
Maybe someone has a use for them, I'd also appreciate a feedback.

Edit: these icons are used in Strange Legacy.

Together with inferno8 we present you the Great Steppe + Era of Magic era! This addon combines two wonderful eras to bring you a new exciting gaming experience. The combination of steppe and EoMa factions will allow you to take a fresh look at both eras, fight in never-before-seen alliances and...

Hello all!

So it's been a long time since I've tried anything like this, and I've never completed a campaign before, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

This campaign takes place during the orcish civil war early on in Wesnoth history: pre-100YW. It focuses on one orcish clan and the journey that...

This is the feedback thread for any MP scenario revisions I do or for any of my new survivals.

Currently, I have made 2 new ones: 2p - Isle of Mists (which is in mainline MP) and (2p - Realm of the Dark)
and revised 2p - Dark Forecast and 6p - Team Survival

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...
