The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I created a new add-on based on Ravana's XP Modification ( It provides a right-click menu that allows you to spend unit experience for upgrades. The costs in XP can be changed during game creation.

It also adds a Noob upgrade option that provides 100 hitpoints, 10 movement and 2 strikes for a...

So ... this thread or the topic is a little bit chaotic. I'll explain it in a moment, but I think it is best
to explain the CONTEXT first.

I have been on and off in regards to wesnoth; I think I was inactive for several years too. Anyway.

Many wesnoth folks, in particular the older ones, probably...

Instead of automatically advancing as soon as the unit has a certain amount of experience, the player can make it more powerful by purchasing it some upgrades using its experience points as currency. I know XP Modification, but it’s way too simple and unbalanced in my opinion. It can’t replace the...

Do someone have an image which can be used as a...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and to scenario development, I always used the editor for it and I never tried using it seriously. It's been a while since I last used the editor but I noticed that the Assign recruit list option when you right click on a unit is missing. Can someone please explain it to...

Hi,

Is there a buglet (apologies if it's already known) in a couple of unittypes?
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... maybe they have {WOUNDED_UNIT ()} in the wrong place?...

Greetings, everyone!

I'm working on an RPG-style era, where you make one move per turn, and turns are handled rather rapidly. No guarantees, but I've also been working on a plot for a Magi campaign which will absorb some of that work.

Have fun!

Hi,
I have a problem with scrolling I can't seem to resolve on my own so I sincerely ask for assistance.
When scrolling map in any way (mouse, keyboard arrows, middle mouse button) the scrolling gets extremely fast when hovering mouse over unit (camera immediately ends in corner of screen). This...
