Aimed at mainline for the 1.20 release, this revision of THoT restores some of 1.14->1.16's cut content, removes Morvur, and includes a mix of scenario/map/AI/dialogue/etc adjustments to (hopefully) improve gameplay.

The “Dwarvish Grenadier” L2 Thunderer advancement is included in this add-on, for...

Hi folks ! Has it been 4 years ? After another extended leave, a new LordBob has been summoned.

Sometime last year, the team contacted me to ask if I would be willing to create commissionned artwork for the Dunefolk faction. We agreed on terms quickly enough, but I needed a while to clear my pile...

Malica, a young girl who died unexpectedly, has become undead due to incomplete revival, but somehow Wesnoth has been trying to capture her. Meanwhile, Cyclos, a young elf, is searching for his...

Since this era has been changed so extensively I'm going to post a new overview.

Firstly, the point of this era is to give the player choices. In some RPGs the only decision you get to make in your turn is whether to attack or not.

In this era, players can choose their character's class, race,...

Any ideas how I could do that?

Its for a very large, campaign-like mp scenario, that is foremost meant to be single player.

The constant recruiting of AI sides leads to a trickle or stream of single units, very noticable on large maps.

While a player bunches up his troops and also recruits them...

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...

Hello everyone, this is a topicstarter for the translation of my guides on how i played competitive 1vs1 back in 1.12 and 1.14.
Translates would be placed here, under this topicstarter.

About me :
I won prizes in a couple of big tournaments(I don't count lots of other small or league-like things)...

Hi! I have no exp with WML - trying to make two little scripts work.
- AI gave me some code. Before I go on a testing spree, maybe someone could look over the code?

Pickupable items in a multiplayer scenario (gold). For all sides except neutral side5.

AI sides in multiplayer scenario can only...

Hello guys,

This modification changes the skin/scale/armour colors of recruits.
It tries to modify the colors in a natural way.
If a option is turned on, the units get the opportunity to change to unique rare morph colors.

Ready Races/Units:
all saurians + UMCs
all drakes except UMCs

Hello there. At the beginning I would like to say that MWC was working fine in Wesnoth 1.10 but on version 1.18 of Wesnoth it has some bugs.
I put some effort in to it and I found code part that makes error info. I don't see anything wrong with code so maybe someone else will find the reason of the...

Hi, hope I'm posting this in the right place.

Moved over to the Lua Labs.

Edit: Oops and thanks!

Basically I want a nuisance micro ai that gets in the way by moving its units randomly around the map, ignoring other units (be they friend or enemy).
The (hoped for) result would be combat vs...

Hello everyone,

First thoughts about using cores in wesnoth.

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:
in the top layer, you still need to meet the requirements that...
