The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

This is actually a genuine question, so let me put down the context.

My old pen-and-paper roleplay group back in the days got, well, older. Dudes moved on to work
24/7, most of them are engaged, have kids and so on and so forth.

During that time we created quite a LOT of content and played quite...

With the upcoming release of 1.16 on October 24th, Steam players who are on the default branch (aka what you're using if you haven't chosen 1.15.x in the Betas) as well as itch.io players who are on the Stable channel will be automatically upgraded from 1.14.17 to 1.16.0. While 1.16 will have...

Hello, when I played NR at first a couple of time ago, I struggled in this scenario. There seem to be two recommended strategies:

1. Rush to the northwest with your heroes and snipe the blue leader, then let the other armies come to you. I've tried that, maybe twice iirc, but both times the six...

Recently I played some dwarf campaign, I forgot the name (I am soooo bad with names).

Some units lacked descriptions. Here I was thinking ... what if you could click a link, and then
be redirected to a wiki, where people can just freely add (mostly) if they have a forum account
here?

That...

When working on animation-filled cutscene-style scenario with Hejnewar, we decided to use DiD code that skips animations etc when dialogs are skipped. However, the code not only didn't work well with current development version, but also didn't cover our needs, as we used tag a lot and sometimes...

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted in these forums :)

In the past year I've been hard at work to make a spire-like card game of my own design. I have extensive experience of making card games based on trademarks owned by other people and I wished to create something that becomes...

A call for help
For essentially the past year I have been developing my 19th century fantasy era, the Era of Empires or EoE for short.
But I have now discovered that at the pace I am working I won't be able to get it done at all. So I am asking for any volunteers to help me with my era. It will...

At this point in my first game back, I'm supposed to have dealt more than double the damage I've taken; but I've taken more damage than I've dealt instead. :lol:

If you have any requests or comments regarding this add-on, just post them here.

Back in 2015, a dire warning went out about the state of Wesnoth's development - the entire Wesnoth project was in danger of slowing to a halt; the ship is sinking .

Fast forward to now, and I'm glad I'm able to say that the situation is no longer quite so dire. The project's internal structure...

Hi,

There a weird bug when applying overlays in 1.14.

Add an overlay image to some unit using apply_to=overlay . If you check the unit in debug :inspect, the overlays= field will show the image file twice.
For every subsequent non-overlay object given to the unit, the image overlay gets...

The generation of unit names using context-free grammar in BFW1.14 is pretty clear :
using male_name_generator/female_name_generator works (see drakes)
using name_generator doesn't (see saurians)

Given this statement is questioned repeatedly by developers, it appears that this is potentially...

One of Fate of a Princess' charms, IMO, is the way the SkyOne found new uses for existing aspects of the game.
To quote myself -
For example, a shaman healing animation is reused without its halo as a child jumping for joy, which is rather cute.
The berserker laugh is used as just a laugh, in a...

Hello.
As an orcs' fan and PVP's coward, here I share my SotBE(Difficult) replays with you. :)

There's scenario 1,3-11. As of the rest, they seem exhausting. Though I have finished all scenarios under difficulty “Challenging”, I don't want to play the rest of “Difficult” for now....

I recently uploaded my add-on Corpse Mod 2 and made custom images for many units, where they are dead, but I didn't really manage to do a good frame for the horse units from the Rebels faction. I've tried, as you can see:

But looking at this, I know it's terrible. Maybe someone better at doing...

A somewhat belated (sorry!) update for iOS is in progress.

I'm working on a couple of known bugs:

Known to reproduce on iPad Air 2, maybe on other hardware too. A workaround is to reinstall the game. Save...
