I recently saw a "flagbearer" unit e. g. having leadership + a long banner.

Hello all,
I haven't been on these forums since Skyrim came out, so it feels so surreal to be yet again pestering the ones in the know with silly questions. But here I am. It is one of my dreams to make a live action adaptation of the Heir to the Throne campaign. I have been writing a script and...

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make then. The author still owns the copyright to the work that they created, so they can continue to do whatever they want with it. But using the copy of the content that's part of Wesnoth is governed by either the GPL or the CC BY-SA, depending on...
I was stumbling around the internet (COVID-19, enough said), and came across this: https://itsfoss.com/free-linux-games/
Apparently, Wesnoth is only 23/31, by some guy's measure.
Free Orion (or Freeorion as it is often stylized) - stunning remake of MOO2, plays a fair bit differently with a lot of new and original ideas while still reminding one of the classic. https://www.freeorion.org/index.php/Main_Page
Axioms Of Dominion is a project I got about 40% through and then had to let go for life stuff. Now I have roughly a year where I shouldn't have anything else to do so I'm hoping to release in late 2022 or very early 2023 if I run into serious issues.
I'd advise reading the wiki for a broad...

Ah, got it. That makes me feel considerably better about publishing my work here then. Thank you for the knowledgeable response! I've got a lot of work to do, but I hope I can soon give back to the vibrant and talented addon community that has given me a lot of toys to play with! Thanks again!
Hi, I like strategy games and programming and I am also a member of the "Imperialism remake project" (obviously there isn't a good name for it yet).

And the second consideration may be whether some people who worked
on this, could re-use code written by others before? So like we could have
a PARTIAL HTML5 implementation where some things would work, and
we could track which parts work and which parts don't work yet. A bit
like a milestone...

I apologize if here is the wrong place to post it, but I really couldn't find a better topic.

If you refer to the art content then BY-SA is simply different to the GPL. Images are
not quite handled the same as e. g. source code in a programming language. But
using the art can be hugely beneficial still - you could implement any game an...

funnest thing/post i've ever seen on this entire web
I have an obsession with necromancy and liches, and Wesnoth's story has really been the only source of media to scratch my itch. What I plan for is to get a game developed where you become a lich and get revenge on everyone. With my obsessive levels of passion and knowledge, and after acquiring...

One small issue I have is that most liches in wesnoth are fairly weak.
Don't get me wrong! Their attack types are often powerful like 24x5 magic chilling attacks
or something like that. But you can still kill them. To me this is ... strange.
Isn't a lich usually an undead mage that often has its...
