The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Sorry I've been a little inactive over here, folks. I'm a new father in last few months and am just a little time poor. I really appreciate the feedback, though. Please keep the suggestions rolling in and when I get a little free headspace I'll be back to implement suggestions.

Thanks for that. I'll investigate and see if I can't fix that.

Thanks Danwar, I appreciate your kind words and your suggestions. I'll have a proper look at them next time I'm doing a balance patch, the Arendians and Issalefr in particular are sorely in need of some attention. Can you tell me more about the issues with the Lavinian leadership ability? Wesnoth an...

I haven't implemented that change for the Arendians just becuase I think the faction is more interesting without a dedicated swimmer, but if you want to play with them like that, go right ahead.

That's not the intended behaviour, the recruit list got lost somewhere along the way.
I've fixed this and uploaded a new version of this campaign (and ToV) to the 1.15 add-ons server.

Hoo boy, if you're doing a run of Alfhelm this is going to be a busy thread! It's...not the most evenly edited campaign out there, and apart from making it function I've pretty much left it alone these last ten years or so. Looks like {IS-HERO} is broken. I've updated to the trait {TRAIT_LOYAL_HERO}...

Yes, that's right, we changed it because it was just too hard to hit them. They used to have 50% (and they still do in single player for now). These days they have the formation ability instead, which gives them boosted defences if they're in formation with other legionaries.

What was the era with Caledonians ? (Not sure of the name), it was a faction based on Ancient Greek units. This would be an ideal faction to add to the imperial era. There was a planned ancient Greek faction called the Dardans in the Classical Era, the period of time before the Imperial Era, but as...

Ugh. You don't know how many of those I've edited out over the years. The joys of a truly ancient era, I guess.
Thanks for the report. I'll add fixing those to my next release. Don't know when that'll be, though, my wesnoth stuff seems to be on a bit of a hiatus at the moment.

I use the editor for map creation and then do the rest by hand, but I WOULD use the editor for more if it could do more, or more reliably.

I've just uploaded our first ever IE translation, chee / kk's Japanese translation of Epic of Vaniyera. Hopefully it works fine.

If anyone else wants to translate the campaign, please grab the pot file and go for it, we wouldn't want the Japanese translation to get lonely.

Sure. I don't have an ETA for the next version, but I'll try and get something out soon.

I should really get around to an overhaul of the Arendians and Issaelfr some time, huh? It's only been on my to-do list for...eight years. Gees, we could really do with a maintainer around here. Personally, I like that the Arendians (and to some extent the Sidhe) don't have strong water control, as ...

Wow, all the updates for various addons are now 1.15 only it seems. Sadly, this is one of the problems of a long development cycle. New features are great for UMC, so we tend to use the newest thing, then maintaining for multiple versions is a hassle (I still have flashbacks to trying to keep two v...

I should have added them last time. I'll do it for the next update.

Edit: And done. 0.25.1 pushed for Wesnoth 1.15 branch. 0.25.0 broke compatibility for 1.14, so new changes will only be for 1.15+ from here on out.
