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...
Welcome to the Writers’ Forum. This is the place to coordinate with other writers on all sorts of Wesnoth-related wordsmithing. Relevant topics include:
The game manual
Storyline prose in the mainline and UMC campaigns
Wesnoth Wiki maintenance
Wesnoth fanfiction
Promotional material
I've finished writing the fan novel I've been working on for the last several months (and yes, at over 50,300 words it is novel-length), and am excited to finally be posting it for you to read. I would like to think of this as a contribution to the game in some way, though I don't know if...
Here is a copy of the novel, Battle for Wesnoth: Heir to the Throne which I released in late 2019. I had to scale down the images to fit the attachment requirements of the forum. If anyone has a chance to read it, please feel free to comment.
I was wondering, are there any finished fantasy novels or novel cycles, where the action takes place in Irdya?
I remember seeing some on the forum, but they weren't quite finished, when I checked last time.
Not sure if this is the right here, but we will see..
I am currently writing a campaign in my semester break. I will present the story now and hope for feedback how wesnothian it is and where I might add some lore nuggets or should change some aspects to make it fit the lore better:
I'm currently working on brushing up my campaign Burning Souls which takes place on the island of Bilheld. I was reworking some of the map design when something occurred to me. You see, by default, I figured the island would be tropical, most accurately comparable to Hawaii, as far as our own world...
Hello everyone, hope your all well. Quiet some time passed and some new information turned up.
This will help us to finalize the dunefolk once for all to a degree they feel like a natural part of this game and still leaves a lot of gaps to be explored in future or filled with UMC content. Thus my...
I am currently working on a campaign where you will first play as outlaws, but later your leader will become a mage. As I think the figure Crelanu is really interesting, I thought about modifying my story so it fits to Crelanu . Is there any Canon /Mainline information about...
I have had a discussion with another Wesnoth player. My opinion is that ghoul's poison is really infection, rather than actual venom. It has same game mechanic as poisoned thrown knives and other similar stuff though, so separate weapon special wasn't introduced.
Tremendously powerful in unfathomable ways, the sage-like Sylphs are masters of manipulating the bridge between the mundane and arcane worlds. Long years spent peering into the ethereal realm have eroded the ability of these elves to view...
As far as I know, dwarves consider it against their own honor code to wear masks, as they enable to commit atrocities without repercussions.
Connected to the social importance of the Loremasters' function of witnesses is that dwarves have a horror of concealment and disguise; to wear a mask is...
The Writers' Forum guidelines indicate that discussing Wesnoth fanfiction is appropriate here, which made me wonder about Wesnoth-based tabletop roleplaying games. The session write-ups of those would pretty much be fanfiction, I would think. I'm curious whether anyone out there has explored the...
Though it is well-established in Wesnoth lore that Irdya is a different world from our own, for the purposes of this post I aim to reimagine it as the mythical past of our own world, as a thought experiment.
1. The World's Name
The name Irdya is itself conductive to this idea, as it is...
hi, I intend to make a series of portraits of Aragwaithi, covering seven L1 branches and one leader. Therefore, I need to carry out a series of cultural textual explorations to expand the unit description. As far as portraits are concerned, I've vaguely outlined the general appearance. In any case,...
note: this thread is not complete and will be completed as the development process of the dunefolk campaign takes place
As the note says, this thread only collects and publicly states all the lore we have so far, which then will be the foundation for the wiki page. Note all of them are...
When did the piece of lore that says saurian society is sex-segregated surface, and why hasn't that been taken into account in official campaigns?
If we go by the lore from the wiki, then the Saurian Skirmisher unit line is all female, while the Saurian Oracle line is all male. However, nowhere in...
In my scenario-in-progress, the player has to capture a particular village deep in enemy territory and hold it for three turns. At some point, if the player has not yet captured the village, there won't be enough time to complete the objective before time runs out.
I have an orcish archer (id=Megdar) with the guardian status, and I changed his max_moves to 3. Now he waits patiently until someone gets close before he springs into action. It works great. However, once in a while Megdar somehow doesn't get killed by the player right away, and then he's stuck...
According to the timeline, Asheviere ruled from 501YW to 518YW, seventeen years. According to Heir to the Throne, Elves Besieged takes place twenty years into Asheviere's rule. Regardless, that is a very long time. Before the actions of Heir to the Throne there was no indication that her reign...
I want to write story for 17 Scenario(12 Battles,3 Scenes,1 Puzzle as intended) Campaign about Drakes(Nagas+Saurians+Humans) of Morogor(Island between Green Isle and Great Continent) about resettlement just like Prince Haldric said in Peoples In Decline Scenario and also did himself
I think that evolution is an absolutely fascinating topic and I wanted to apply it to the creatures of Irdya. This excludes the humanoid species (Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Dunefolk, Trolls, Ogres, and Merpeople) or pure magical (Woses) purely because I don't want to get into that. I'm only...
I tried to find a tread with similar content, but I failed. So if this was discussed before, please tell me.
I happen to find references to the Faerie World in canon (like unit description). In some UMC's (IftU, RotW, dunno which else) you can recruit faeries. Derived from what I read, the common...
I want to discuss some issues about An Orcish Incrusion here.
The campaign represents the first direct elvish clash with orcs so this probably important to save this moment of Wesnoth history and not to demainline it but rather rework it.
The campaign has almost no storyline, the only plot line in...
As we know have an idea of what the new units are to be called, we now reach the phase to think about their unit descriptions.
Here we provide the final names of the units and marked which of them need descriptions. We also want to investigate, wether some descriptions of the base unit still fid,...
Yeah, this may sound a bit racist, but I am honestly confused. They look exactly like humans, but are considered to be a different race in-game and have non-human vulnerabilities. I am pretty sure that if I smack my Arab groupmate from university, he wouldn't be hurt more than anyone else.
Hello Everyone,
I've enjoyed playing Battle for Wesnoth over a number of years and most notably enjoyed playing the Heir for the Throne campaign, so much so, that I wrote an actual open-source novel based on the campaign. The source code (manuscript) is posted for free as a download on my website...
The Kingdom of Wesnoth is the centre of the Battle for Wesnoth universe, however we actually don't know all that much about how the Kingdom is organised and ruled. The majority of campaigns take place far from the heart of the Kingdom. The South Guard, Liberty, Eastern Invasion and Descent into...
Since after many years of ossification I see that Wesnoth became more open to changes in mainline content, several problems arise. I mean Wesnoth mainline content is like a badly constructed house. You need a new good house, but you cannot get it instantly so you can not get rid of all bad things...
