Hi all,

I'm uploading my first campaign (actually, two) to the add-on server under the name ASanguineTale. It consists of a main campaign and a prequel set after the fall of Wesnoth. The main campaign, Ani's Legacy follows an RPG-like style, allowing the user to choose their path through the...

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

This is not the original The Dark Hordes
Explanation: I have made this campaign years before to be played on BfW1.12 as a continuation of the original TDH which was considered abandoned and unmaintained long before.
Under BfW 1.16, I saw TDH (the original) maintained and playable so I didn't...

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...

Mechanical and I made a new campaign: Rage. It's a BRUTAL RPG slasher with BLOOD about dunefolk and drakes, a tale of revenge. If you want some proper carnage this campaign will be perfect for you!

You can get the campaign on the 1.16 server. Not recommended for those under 16 years old, or for...

Hi,

First off a buglet (apologies if it's already known) a couple of unittypes have {WOUNDED_UNIT ()} in the wrong place?
The Arch Mage and Horseman are both immobile until hitpoints are reduced to below {WOUNDED_UNIT ()} threshold then they start moving?
Doesn't seem right to me...

Onto my main...

This the story of a shadow ambitious leader with a good mage who both succeeded to find the Eternal Kingdom and to save countless souls

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.

Right, so this is happening....

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...

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...

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:
in the top layer, you still need to...

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.
