Re: Siege of Elensefar Starting Gold

I normally go by land just because of the gold.

The amount of gold I get there varies but I aim to have at least 300 gold.

Re: Possible factions in Fiery Cave scenarios?

--Dark Elves (by extension if you can find some deep variant of the dwarves they'd be a great fit) --Imps/Daemons, something similar to a Balrog for bonus points --Monstrous Salamander (a specific type of cave critter that should be there) --Ancient Constructs, in particular golems or colossus of br...

Re: Multiplayer Replay Analysis

Turn 1: For knowing what your opponent is playing your opening looks fine. Perhaps each of you recruited one more scout than may have been strictly necessary (particularly you as player 1) but ghosts have their uses in this matchup. Turn 2: Normally I don’t favor ghouls in this matchup unless you’re...

Re: Are there more basic Factions?

Creating a new era for the purpose you describe would not be at all difficult but it cannot be done in the map editor.

Re: Puzzle challenges!

Ravana: You know, I actually don't remember the name of that specific book however I do remember the name of the original book in that set. The name of the original book is "What is the Name of this Book" and it has sequels. If you find it and can hunt down everything else by that author y...

Re: Puzzle challenges!

Very nice, you even got the bonus version of the question which was which set of three questions would work for all cases.

Re: Puzzle challenges!

Your answer is actually incorrect. There's a way to always get the answer within 3 questions. To give a hint, I will tell you that the vast majority of the information given (although it would be useful in a typical knights and knaves), is actually mostly irrelevant to the easiest way to solve this...

Re: Puzzle challenges!

If you're looking for an interesting one, there's one I remember reading in a book that was quite fun though I don't remember the answer. There were actually many of this style of question in the book of which this was but one however this is the one that stuck with me for some reason. >As a note I'...

Re: A very difficult puzzle

You seem to be ignoring the past couple posts. Also, changing rules isn't solving the problem it's just creating a slightly different one. I'm just going to note, that there are mathematical ways to solve these types of things and if you know those methods it'd be really hard to make a puzzle that's...

Re: A very difficult puzzle

Just to confirm, the rules are as follows: -You can toggle any of the switches. -If you toggle a switch that isn't in the center you also toggle the center and the opposite switch. -The center is conditional, if you toggle it while it's on it toggles one set of 4 switches and if you toggle it while ...

Re: I know someone will say it's easy... Siege of Elensefar.

Oh yes, I have tried using lower level recruits, I still end up in the negative income, negative gold situation. Maybe the Luck may work out differently eventually but they just die quicker without leaders. When you say do not put so much emphasis on higher level unit, yet the point of the game sho...

Re: Simultaneous Turns

In theory you could code some kind of simultaneous resolution system but it'd be awkward and hack-isa and you'd probably be better off writing your own program designed to do it rather than using the Wesnoth engine. As a question though, why would it be hard to just have there be more sides. It'll t...

Re: I know someone will say it's easy... Siege of Elensefar.

EDIT: I'd like to apologize slightly for the below post. I hadn't realized that this was moved in from the user forum. It seemed rather rude to me to post in the strategy forum and then say that you don't want help. As you didn't some of my comments are not as relevant. I will say that I believe the...

Re: Did the game get harder or do I need to git gud?

One of the signs that Wesnoth is a true tactics game as opposed to just being a Strategy game is that even taking the exact same approach to winning, different players will fare differently. A skilled player will make the micro decisions that manage their odds and resources better. Of course I say t...

Re: Did the game get harder or do I need to git gud?

Games AI has gotten somewhat better but in general I expect you just need to get back into it. Elves Besieged on Hard in HttT shouldn't be daunting. I don't know what the walkthrough says, but there's no reason to sneak Konrad through, just cut down anyone in your way. Lvl 2s fall to lightning, sham...
