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,...

Wesnoth fanfiction
Promotional material
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...
I've been (re)playing (and enjoying, tbh) the Heir to the Throne campaign, and I've played it many times before, but I would absolutely love to contribute to this great game by putting my writing skills to good use and doing something about the (often comically) awful dialogues. My eyes have...
For now, we know almost everything about the west of Irdya (I mean between Aethenwood and Lintanir including Wesnoth and Heart Mountains) but what happened in the far North? (I mean far far from Wesnoth itself) is it remain in the north or it affect Wesnoth even indirectly?
In my campaigns, not too...
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...
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...
I wanted to try my hand at creating a series depicting the Wesnothian Civil War, between Konrad and his allies and Queen Asheviere. However, I'm no animator, and I figured Every Day or Every Week would be far more challenging.
I had to add some stuff to fluff up the lore, as I assume the liberated...
Me and Mirion decided to do a rap battle with two of wesnoth's necromancer main characters (he will be doing Ardonna's verses, while I do Keshar's). He and I will be posting our verses here as we write them
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...

When I create a description for a race (as it is shown in the help section), I got the idea to add elements like the script (language) used by that race but I don't know how to add an image in this description . Is it possible to do so? and how?
some questions about the far north of wesnoth.
the wiki gave us already many locations and information. still, this are is quiet unexplored or lack of analysis.
I had some question before beginning the developmental Ch.02 of RotL (since the original author of Ch.01 seems not interested on...
In some old campaigns I found the mention of Erzen (south of orcish territories) and Green Swamps (probably south of Aethenwood).
Is there anyone who can provide me with maps that contain one of those locations for my new campaign ?
Thank you
I just learned something terrible today. Apparently I've been using it's incorrectly my whole life. Well at least wrong in the post Shakespeare era. According to the online Webster (likely to be trustable to a certain extent) it's today only ever means it is or it has or such. In the times of the...
I have posted some issues on Wesnoth's githhub that are about creating more connective dialog between some mainline campaigns. See #6151 and #6174 . I am soliciting ideas from the wider forum community, regarding possible dialog inclusions and changes that can be made to mainline campaigns to make...
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.
I don't know how long I'll be hanging around, but certainly a few weeks while I'm meddling with Fate of a Princess, and then a bit longer once it's up while I watch for feedback. After that, we'll see.
But while I am here, if anyone wants prose-polishing services on a particular campaign, send me...
I've been looking at the saurian dialog in Fate of a Princess, and of course it's very hissy.
But as a side project pipedream, I started wondering about a campaign
from the saurians' viewpoint. Naturally they'd talk properly amongst themselves, so
how would you transcribe, say, human or elvish...
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.
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:
