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:
4 portraits (3 are variations of a character)
4 story screens...
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 have a few thoughts about the final chapter of LoW and the Elvish civil war.
First of all I have to say, that I was really curious about the way, how Landar turned evil and led the bad faction in elvish civil war (well-known fact from general history). I think the idea with the potion...
Hello, could someone point me towards a collection of canon information (i.e. mainlined) about saurians and their canon (mainlined) history? I am writing a saurian campaign and would like to remain consistent with the mainline. The wiki seems out of date and contains possibly non-mainlined...
Hello there everyone! I am here to make sure the lore for my campaign about the first storm trident makes sense. Because this campaign will eventually be released (1.18) most of my messages will have spoilers, and I would appreciate if you could do the same for potential spoilers, and if so, thank...
So in battles we have Units capturing Villages . There are scalar problems here and I think the Writing Forum is the best place to resolve them. Villages are villages. I don't think there's any disputing that. They are a group of people living in a place, together. One soldier simply could not...
Noticed a review on the Wesnoth Steam page that I thought had come good points with respect to the way that some of the text in Wesnoth can come off as being 'pro' certain races and 'anti' others. The review is below, and I hope that we can ignore the tone and see if there's some good points here...
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...
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 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.
Thursagan's Hammer whose story takes place shortly after Rebirth of the North gives us relatively little information about Karrag, the ruler of Kal Kartha. I think it would be a good thing to expand the information about him including how he came into possession of the Hammer of Thursagan, what was...
After finishing the edit/rewrite/polish for Northern Rebirth, I asked if there were any other campaigns I could edit/rewrite/polish. I was told that Scepter of Fire might need it done.
I wanted to post this to ask if anyone had any suggestions or ideas of anything that they wanted changed.
While I am translating NR, I find this sentence from Ro'Arthian:
When the Northlands are in direst need of us, we shall rise once again. . Then, he disappear, not only from the campaign, but from all the Wesnothian mainland lore.
I am just thinking that it is not fair that he (along with his...
Althrough some changed in Rise of Wesnoth last years I still see some unexplained things about Wesfolk.
- Who is Jessene? She appears to us as Wesfolk princess but seems to not have much power before the betrayal of Jevyan when she started lead a group of refugees. It looks like all power belong...
I saw we don't have much informations about Malifor, powerful lich from Northern Rebith. If I understood well Abhai says that he is a former Wesfolk mage that came with Haldric to Great Continent and turned into a lich. When he started conquering the north and how much of caves was under his...
The Dark Master Project (Ressources Beta)
Since I finished with this area, I think it is better to make a recapitalization of its population (races) and major places.
Campaigns that have interest in the area:
Eternal Kingdom EK
The Return of the Legions TRotL (except book III)
Ascendancy Asc...
Greetings! Firstly, many thanks to the Wesnoth game developers, coders and the whole community in general for such an awesome fun and addictive turn-based strategy game. I have been playing Wesnoth since many years, and a veteran since 2007 - and I...
hi everybody, i'm trying to adapt the lore of wesnoth into a tabletop rpg (any volunteers are welcome) and right now i'm trying to come up with a magic system, there are many races that use magic in different ways, i noticed most of them (except humans) are shamans, i understand the idea of a...
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 had the idea of creating a Parliamentary Election in Wesnoth, as I was curious what it would be like.
The year is 519 YW. In the aftermath of the Wesnothian Civil War, fought bitterly in the two preceding years, Asheviere’s reign of terror over Wesnoth ended. The brutal tactics she used to...
im writing something that involves the bitter swamp and i remember having vistited it at some point during a campaign but i dont remember what happend on that scenaro or wich campaign that was, anyway i want to know what the story/stories are for this area of the map, i imagine it involves the...
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...
