The premise is that you're an elvish princess and you have to rule your kingdom. How you rule it is up to you...You can be an evil tyrant or a kind-hearted...

Hello !

My story on why I'm getting back to wesnoth after more than 10 years begins with a snarky remark from my best friend.
“ Why are you trying to use photoshop on windows when you could use an open source equivalent on linux ?  ”
“  I don't know , I replied. Why are you play a proprietary...

My first campaign! After a year and a bit of working solo on this project I decided I should actually publish it. So there will probably be a bunch of things that need tuning. Feedback is appreciated on a whole lot of things (balance, flow, story cohesion).

Hi all! I ported Conquest*, an add-on created by enclave for Wesnoth 1.14.

First of all, what is Conquest?

Conquest is a game mode for multiplayer games which you play on custom maps. RPG elements are removed, instead new strategy elements are added:

You need to control regions to get bonus...

No thread so I post here.

Nifty stuff, even the trees have reflections!

Some tiny quibbles: Would have been cool if the reflections vanish at night. Star and moonlight reflections? Well maybe. Wesnoth doesn't account for the phases of the moon. Well there's an idea for another addon : ) The other...

A little history on the Ladder Era: First...

This mode replace resistances (blade, impact, pierce, fire, cold, arcane) between attacker and defender during fight. It last only during fight. After fight units resistances are replaced back.

This mode allows any unit after killing other one to drain it soul which allows to recruit this type of unit. It works for all types of units, even undead or other mechanical and so on.

Hi, all. I'm rather new to the forums and this is my first post (though I have been lurking for a while), so please bear with me if I'm not very knowledgeable on the workings of the forums. :) (I have read the Guidelines and such, but that can only do you so much when you first join a community,...

Hey fellow gamers,

Do you enjoy pouring hours into a game only to feel like your skill, strategy, and effort don't actually matter?

Do you want matches decided by constant bad RNG rolls? Altered game mechanics?

Of course not.

We play games to have fun. To experience thrilling virtual worlds,...

Has anybody else added existing factions from one era into another era? I added four factions to the Ageless Era recently, just for my own play on a local game. I put the four factions into the misc units folder of Ageless Era: Icadon, Toybox, and Undergrowth factions from The Era Of Horrors, and...

While reading the wikia, I have stumbled upon the mention of attack range, intended for Version 1.19.4 and later only :

What are the plans for this in regards to the core game? I am asking because many current and in-development scenarios & campaigns are balanced for basic hex-to-hex combat....

Is there any way in a unit's code to make them gain a certain amount of experience after every turn passes?

I'm trying to make an egg, and originally I based it off of the Ant Egg, however that unit hatches depending on factors that I do not want.
I wish for my egg to hatch after a certain amount...

This is a campaign designed to showcase the new Dunefolk units designed for 1.16. The units and their animations are fantastic! It includes Jinn, Rocs, and a Wyvern Rider as enemies in the final scenario, as well.

Even in the deserts far to the south of Wesnoth, Queen Asheviere's shadow darkens...

Hi all,

Started game 55245 in afterlife vs Feigd. He immediately wanted to get out of the disfavourable game.

He claimed he missclicked his leader out of the castle. Nothing of the sort showed on my side. I refused the rematch, and insisted on playing the game.

Again, his missclick didn't show...

Hi,

I'm hoping a moderator will see this, and act.

While playing Afterlife rated #51587 vs WarolKojtyla , he repeatedly accused me of cheating.

Obviously i didn't cheat ; i wouldn't even know how.

I repeatedly warned him that he would get banned. I repeatedly asked him to retract his...

Hello,

I am a bit confused with how the code below turned out to work. The coins spawn in the right place and message prompt gives me the right coordinates, and yet the 'moveto' event activates anywhere. So, as soon as the barrel is broken (dies), coins spawn, and the next unit that moves...

Feedback and updates-announcements thread.

C:\Users\Frost\Documents\My Games\Wesnoth1.18\data\add-ons\2026\scenarios (2026 being the ID i've assigned).
When i save the scenario or restart...
