Re: Implement the Wesnoth Ladder

Do you mean that there is a programmer slowly working on it somewhere who could use some help? Or do you mean that there are literally no programmers working on it right now? I'm a programming noob who could potentially help someone more experienced, but there is no chance I could take point on a pr...

Re: Implement the Wesnoth Ladder

Has there been any forward movement on implementing the ladder within Wesnoth? I'd like to point out that the 3rd party nature of the ladder inconveniences not only ladder players, but non-ladder players who are trying to join a game. Let's say that I am only interested in playing in a ladder game r...

Defense of the Goblin bugs - really awful

Hi! Defense of the Goblin currently has one really awful bug that makes the game unplayable with 6 players: The last player on the right (usually colored orange by default) cannot shop. The right click menu when they stand on a shop has a spells option, but no shopping option. Obviously under these ...

Re: How to play: Loyalists vs. Rebels

Not to be a contrarian, but if I wrote this guide it would be very different. Most importantly I think that making Spearmen a core unit would be a mistake in this matchup because of the inevitable Woses. Here is what my opening paragraph might look like: === Loyalists vs. Rebels === The smartest thi...

as silent has already mentioned, mermen have 20% cold resistance and IMO this should be mentioned in the text.

Re: How to Play: Loyalists vs. Undead

Something I would like an opinion on would be on how to counter Bats. Both cheap and fast, they're used as both scouts and village snatchers. The problem is, all the good Loyalist counters to the Undead are expensive, so you're highly reliant on income, which the Undead nab with ease. It's mentione...

How to Play: Loyalists vs. Drakes

Hi everyone! Here is my second effort in my attempt to complete/update the How to Play series. I would appreciate everyone's feedback before I post it to the wiki :) Is my advice actually good? How could it be improved? ===Loyalists vs. Drakes=== You may ask, "Why bother creating a guide to pla...

Re: How to Play: Loyalists vs. Undead

I made some edits, how is it looking now? I downgraded HI and upgraded cavalry, although not as much as suggested... I set them to be equal at a B+, which is how they are in my mind now.

Re: How to Play: Loyalists vs. Undead

OK, so much for defense against skeleton archers, but what about dealing damage? Cavalry don't do serious damage to Skeletons or Skeleton Archers. Any HI however in the daytime has a decent chance of killing a full-health skeleton archer in two hits, while a strong HI in the daytime deals 18 damage ...

Re: How to Play: Loyalists vs. Undead

Wow, you're right. I just assumed that horsemen had the same resists as cavalry, and that makes me stupid. I wonder why they are different that way from cavalry? Horsemen are also less resistant to blade and impact than cavalry, for people who didn't know that... Horsemen=20% blade and 30% impact, C...

Re: How to Play: Loyalists vs. Undead

Caphriel, I can see the argument for bumping up Cavalry, although I maintain that since Skeleton Archers are an extremely lethal, hard to kill, and dirt cheap counter to mounted units, you'll be forced to drop the horses if you see lots of skeleton archers in the field. That's why I don't rate the c...

How to Play: Loyalists vs. Undead

Hi everyone, I'm nelson and I'm currently ranked #39 on the ladder. This means that there are lots of people who are better at Wesnoth than me, but many more people who currently need improvement in order to defeat me. I'd like to help the people who need improvement, but since I need improvement as...

Re: An Unnatural Winter (MP Campaign)

Any more progress on this? I really want to play some multiplayer campaigns, and as far as I know this is the most mature one. Are there any others in development? Regardless of what other people are doing, I want to play more of this one :)
