Several of our mainline campaigns are in the works for upgrades at the moment, which includes adding characters and enhancing existing scenarios. We are looking for more artwork to supplement these upgrades, including the following:
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,...
There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.
Write clearly, be nice to others, and be very careful when posting anything related to politics or religion. When asking for help, remember that everyone here is a volunteer. Prefer editing your previous post over double posting. No animated avatars or graphical signatures. Don’t plagiarize other’s...
This is basically in reply to two threads, on the forums here asking about zoom levels being restored.
Are you tired of having to press '+' a specific number of times after loading a game? Well, this doesn't save the state, but it does do the next best thing. On the suggestion of Strelock on...
So, I stole was inspired by Crimson_Conure's idea on the Wesnoth discord of making Wesnoth strategy puzzles, sort of like the tactical puzzles you see in chess. Even though Wesnoth is RNG based, there are still tons of situations where there's a best move/sequence of moves.
Playing normal, the first campaign, I found myself being able to win fast but also being able to milk XP (since the undead adversary was churning 1 unit a turn and sending them alone).
Thus, in such a situation, what would you prefer? :)
I managed to beat Under the Burning Suns without losing a unit. :O
For those who are curious, you can look at the replays below. Admittedly I played some of these while very sleepy so there might be some turns where the play is a bit erratic/doesn't make sense, but whatever. :whistle:
In The Sceptre of Fire official campaign, the main protagonist leader is Rugnur - initially an L1 Dwarvish Fighter. Now, in this campaign you have access to the Runesmith line of advancements, so whenever a Fighter levels, you need to choose between making it a Steelclad or a Runesmith. On both...
I spent about 10 hours trying to beat this scenario (on hard), before resorting to cheese tactics... building loads of cav and attacking the orc stronghold immediately and then sending the survivors around the north west side to kill the necromancer while I had my hero running away with a couple...
What I see a lot in multiplayer are people who buy regeneration/feeding before the first wave comes out. I argue that this is stupid for the following reasons:
The general aim is to finish waves quickly, for a good reward. The way to do that is to kill quickly. Quick kills are achieved by doing...
Hi, this my guide to ANL. There are a few bugs in this game that annoy me to no end because they're always tripped by newbies and i hope this guide will cut down on those (and maybe get the bugs fixed by someone who can). If you're new to ANL you can safely preserve the learning process by limiting...
I decided to write my own Isar guide for people to improve their skill on the map. The one made by ElderofZion can be read here: ( I will try not to repeat him so I give you the link for more information. :eng:
I will use the same structure as Elder, but I will introduce some important...
This is triggered by someone saying that one of the more troublesome match-ups is Knalgan vs Loyalists. Which one is considered to be in better position on standard maps and why? Any tips for either race? I've read the general how to play guides of both but these are super generic. It basically...
At hard difficulty, can Heir to the Throne be won without scenario restarts? If you lose a scenario, it's permadeath: you go back to the beginning—not of the scenario—but of the campaign. That is the challenge.
Four years since my first attempt, I have done it.
I have just downloaded the An Innocent Man campaign (Makpeace McEvoy) from the Add-on Server.
I'm now on the 3rd (or 2nd) scenario of this campaign, called The Island . Is there a good hint about how do complete this scenario?... I have searched the whole Island, but there is no way...
Killing the orcish leader in Httt: Blackwater Port on Hard gives a special bonus, but I was never able to get it. The orcs recruit way too many units to defeat them on time while keeping Delfador and Konrad safe. Watching some of the replays available in the forum, I required a combination of...
I decided to play Legend of Wesmere coop with some friends of mine, none of us ever played this campaign before, so Landar looked cool and I decided to choose him, after a [censored] ton of battles, we got that girl I forgot the name, something with Chidil? Dunno, but Kalenz and her got a lot of cool...
This is my first forum post - been a lurker for a while now. Using an extreme Father Morvin / Sister Thera resurrection cheese, I was able to kill Rakshas in An Old Friend. This is on nightmare difficulty. I am aware that this has been done before on hard, but not to my knowledge has anyone done...
Hello(:
In scenario book od Cleranu in LOW is minimal dialogue and Cleranu meet elves in Thoria!
Cleranu is under attack!
Who in this scenario is not be true dialogue in this situation.
Like the title says, that is what I aim to create in this topic. All the factions from Ageless shall be ranked according to their usefulness for survival scenarios like 2 player vs survival, 3 player survival and basically most other popular survival scenarios. As it would greatly unhinge balance,...
Okay so I was stuck here for a really long time so I went back to 'Terror at the Ford of Parthyn' so that I might be able to start 'Save the King' with more gold and better recruits. But now I realized that it seems rather pointless to try to do that,...
While I know that the standard BfW map is small and designed for skirmishes and heroes, I kind of like the idea of using formations and combat lines in the game. I am talking the Wesnoth equivalent of squads or units, like a pike unit or a sword and shield unit.
In Delfador's Memoirs, there's a scenario in which a force of mostly lawful units must include an undead one, which must survive the scenario (and land the deadly blow on the main enemy leader). Now, I'm not asking about that specific scenario, but it got me to notice I don't have any experience...
Bumping this 7 year old thread :D to ask if anyone has had any success in most recent versions of BMR2 of keeping loyal patrolmen alive and surviving in general. Are there any dog-involving clever tactics for the Enough is Enough scenario? I'm able to kill the lieutenant by luring him to the...
I'm running Wesnoth 1.12.6 on Windows 10, I've noticed my replay files has a gz file type, in the forum there are some old posting with replays in zip file, after unpacking, the files has no file type, I've tried to open both (zip and unpacked file), but always got an error saying File corrupt or...
I have been playing BFW off and on for over ten years. Recently I started to pick it up again after not playing it for several years. Of course I started on Heir to the Throne normal, built up my units, saved my loyals so I could have what may be needed in the later scenarios. Is it just me or has...
Nightmare mode, Silent Forest, Wesnoth 1.12.5. The scenario that has defeated me. I'm looking for some advice.
This scenario seems quite a bit tougher than the previous ones. I figure the best thing to do is defend around the 5,14 area until the enemy waves end, then clear the leaders...
The purpose of this how to play guide would be first, to inform players on how to play Khalifate, a faction that plays very differently from the ones currently existing (part of why I really like them); second to further the project of mainlining through illuminating the current state of the...
Hey everyone, I first started playing BfW a few years back and loved it. I finished all Mainline campaigns, first on easy, then again on Medium. A few days ago, I felt the urge again, but for an additional challenge, I started playing on Hard as well as stopping save-loading.
I just started playing The Eastern Invasion on Challenging (1.12.6) after replaying a few scenarios because I oversaw a Holy Amulet, I now have trouble finding the best units to pick up Holy Amulets. I gave the first one to Gweddry for levelling faster and being better at fighting undead. After...
