We are happy to announce that Wesnoth is now able to accept donations on Liberapay . While Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers,...

I am excited to announce the release of my Wesnoth Strategy Guide! I first started working on this 8 or 9 years ago and have spent most of my free time these last 3.5 months finally finishing it. It is 93 pages and over 15,000 words! My hope is that it...

I'm using Ageless Era and the Random Campaign, with the passive XP addon set to 1 per turn. With all the gold set to minimum, I think it's 50? And -2 income. What this does is allow me to recruit what basically is a fellowship type party. I get around 5 units each scenario. It feels like Baldur's...
I've played BFW on and off for some time, but I don't recall beating many campaigns since I'd lose more leveled characters than I could replace. Is there a way to stay viable without save scumming?
I was on my ubuntu computer after a long time using windows and decided to go back to my origins and download Battle for Wesnoth again. For the first time I am finishing a campaign in the game without cheating, the one where the character was a villager and became a bandit because of the queen....
Some time ago I decided to beat Eastern Flank, my favourite scenario, on the third difficulty. I had beaten it on the first two before, but now I couldn't get past the second scenario until I set the difficulty on the easiest one.
The old tactics just didn't work there. What's your strategy there?
I have to admit that, being inexperienced, I only played short starter campaigns, looking to learn a thing or two. So I made the most terrible choice so far: playing The Eastern Invasion
At first, it seemed like a simple story to learn how to face the undead with just soldiers and mages... But...
Hello. For a couple years I've been thinking about how I sort units in Wesnoth, and I've come up with descriptions for each category of unit I have thought of. Generally, I tend to sort units in these categories by attacks and usage, though the rules are not the most strict. I often end up with...
I just finished a rather ambitious project in which I completed all novice and intermediate campaigns on the hardest difficulty in permadeath mode (no reloads). It's taken me the better part of a year since I don't have time to play all the time and since you need to restart a lot in some...
Hi everyone! Some time ago on the Russian forum Wesnothlife known high-rated ladder players igorbat99 published a series of three posts called Dirty Strategies . They were dedicated to various rush tactics which aren't optimal but with luck and opponent's being not prepared can obtain a quick...
Hi everyone! This time I will continue to translate igorbat's Dirty strategies first published in Russian on the Wesnothlife forums -- this time I publish a translation of an illustrated article. This piece will be dedicated to a single important topic: Loyalist horse rush.
Hi guys, wanna bring your attention to a little tactical thing for which I'd like to coin a term 9 xp to level trap . Hope sounds fancy enough :D got caught in it myself and seen it today again so decided to tell here.
What's the deal? The opponent has a unit. You can't kill it but can attack to...
Hello. I recently won a game against drakes with only poachers/trappers. So i try it again and again and still, I think this guys are very good. How can you stop poachers/trappers as drake player?
they are fast, good in villages and difficult terrain, can kill all units and they have no weaknesses.
I'm sure i'm missing something, so if someone can enlighten me, i've got no clue how to do this campaign's first mission on hard. My best try was actually the first but.... when my buddy mage came back i was in the upper left...
In the latest 1.15.x (and soon to be 1.16 in the foreseeable future) branches, many scenarios and units in the mainline campaigns have undergone re-designs. Some have been slightly altered, introducing negligible changes in tactics. However, certain campaigns have scenarios that have undergone...
Recently in the Wesnoth official discord me and several other people have been having a discussion about how to properly evaluate relative mobility of units. Many units have the same mp, but somehow we feel intuitively that the move cost pattern of one unit is better than the move...
Greetings. This is a strategy post . Because I must always explain the whole to the newcomers, here i put the post.
I play WC II a lot. I'm very noob so i play Guild faction. and fav add-ons :mrgreen: item drop mod. and extra advancements.
Some players use the more advancements from Reign of the...
The Wesnopedia says that
Javelineers are a valuable asset to an army.
But - are they, really? I mean, a Javelineer has mediocre melee and mediocre ranged capabilities. It has First Strike, that's true, but its HP is significantly lower than the Pikeman and not that much more than the Spearman....
I have been looking around the various advice pages and threads, but pretty much all of them seem focused on PvP, where both sides have the same amount of gold . So they say things like: attack mages with ulfserkers! The opponent loses 20+ gold while you lose only 19! Which is great in MP, but...
On the Discord server this morning, EoZ, catbegemot, and I were discussing the maximum possible damage that a unit can do in mainline Wesnoth, both with a single strike, and in a single turn.
For the single strike calculation, we arrived at 81 damage.
Hey it's been awhile since I've been to Wesnoth and i was wondering if there was any material I can read/watch to improve with the Undead. I seem to recall the 'How to Play...' series (think that's the right name) being a bit controversial regarding Undead. Am i just misremembering this or is there...
Can anyone give me some pointers on what I'm supposed to do in the Decent into Darkness level of the campaign? I start surrounded by a few units, but after killing them and searching the entire map, there's nothing to do. The only objective is 'Complete the Ritual' and all of the tips I can find...
