As I can't...

I am making an era, I have finished one of the factions, what do you guys think of the sprite art?

I need help with this matchup.

My current understanding is that if Knalga does not get something done during the first night, the daytime assault by a full strength loyalist army will most of the time be devastating, regardless of defensive terrain. However, dwarf units are too slow to generate...

Hello, I am compiling Wesnoth 1.18.5 for Ubuntu and ran into some problems. I have very little experience, so I first attempted to follow this tutorial from 2013 , but all of the dependencies were outdated. I searched how to do all of the things, got a concise summary from AI, and installed all of...

I started by the following code, which makes them...

Hi!

I want to have friendly dwarf miners convert to your side when you move next to one. But I have the problem to access the id from the unit I moved next to. Here's the code I have used:

Triggering the event itself works fine, but storing and searching for the adjacent unit does work, because...

Would it be possible to make recall cost dependent on which fort is used?

E.g., player has two leaders, so simple scripts wouldn't work. There is an extra castle with just two hex, one for leader and one empty - would it be possible to make recall cost equal zero for this one particular castle but...
