The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Could there be a situation where a skilled player wants to reduce his or her unit's hitpoints to encourage AI-controlled enemies to move towards it and/or attack it?

Do we have any statistics to know how many people were active, or are active now,
with a focus on art? Here I refer to graphics/images mostly, but we can extend this
to ALL art in general, including creativity/storytelling.

I don't need the specific dataset as such, just roughly to see a trend....

Greetings!
I just came back to Wesnoth after a long break since 1.8 version and I saw a player named nuclearmind in a 1v1 game and I asked him what does ladder mean? The man patiently explained I must contact Cackfiend which is what I did. At first Cackfiend seemed really friendly and polite and he...

I tried playing with about 200% zoom and I was stunned at the detail I could now see. The animations just pop out and really are amazing. The terrain is fantastic. I could actually recognize a palm tree on the oasis hex!

For context I have a 17 flat screen monitor 4:3 aspect ratio, an older model...

WML development feedback loop is quite slow - you need to use F5, build new cache, start scenario again. When only looking to test one specific event or tag there is faster way.

Many WML tags are implemented in Lua now, and because of that Lua has all the tools needed to read and run WML. Note...

I noticed that the way the action time bonus worked in battle for wesnoth was by adding time to the following turn and not the current turn. I was hoping for a setting that game extra time in the current turn. I think in turn bonuses are very useful for games like wesnoth to help keep the game...

I added a nightmare difficulty level to The South Guard! (Sadly, I couldn't come up with a pun for a name like for Nightmare to the Throne.) It is on the add-on server now. I'm not aiming for this difficulty level to be added to the mainline campaign, though I wouldn't object. It's just that this...

Playing on a timed game, I started attacking ulf with my skeleton with about 30sec left. Timer goes red and count down as the ulf fight is going. It last about 10 sec with all those back and forth slashes. I watch the timer closely as I still need to ZOC-protect my own leader. At ~20 sec, the fight...

Does anyone know how to change 'pattern=no' for AI recruiting, iv tried to change it under both the custom AI facet and the facet but in-game under DEBUG it still shows as 'pattern=yes'. I would like to use purely the 'score map' rather than a pattern for recruitment or do we have to use pattern...

Has anyone else been watching Amazon's Rings of Power series? So far, I'm cautiously optimistic. Here are my responses to some of the criticisms people have tossed at the show. It turns out, many of the critics don't know Tolkien's world as well as they think they do!

Hello, I created this account for the sole purpose of seeking collaborators for campaign making. The scenario I created is (to my knowledge) consistent with the events of other campaigns (particularly with the Rise of Wesnoth). Although I am new to this forum, I have been playing BfW pretty much...
