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...
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
These are just what I find to be good, so feel free to do what you like.
Original:
It was the Sun, and not a boy, whose heat stripped me naked; as for you, Euripides, when you were kissing someone else's wife the North Wind screwed you. You are unwise, you who sow in another's field, to accuse Eros...
Why do Elves live in harmony with the nature? How did they get the gift of magic and longevity, and why are they so xenophobic towards other races? Why do Orcs enjoy fighting and destruction, and how do they manage to rise up after every defeat? Why are Humans the jack of all trades, master of none...
I'm thinking of writing another campaign (my third), and want to do a big time jump from my previous campaigns. One fairly unknown time period is the end of the golden era of Wesnoth. I have an idea regarding how the king dies (not peacefully), and building in a few elements from the newer...
Just finished the the stories Deceiver's Gambit and Ashevier's Dogs, one thing I am left wondering: how concurrent is the fall of Dwarven Doors to these events? Orcs are running rampant over Wesnoth, is this chaos contributing to the orcs then attacking Knalga, or have they done this by the time of...
161-164 YW
The newly crowned king sought to make safe once and for all the wildlands that separated the human cities surrounding Weldyn and the coastal regions of Elensefar.
The grand army of Wesnoth, personally led by the High Council of Archmagi, destroyed all enemies residing within Wesnoth.
In maintaining a campaign, I came across a usage of the word antediluvian . Antediluvian means before the flood , referring to the flood narratives of Genesis in the Bible, and/or the Epic of Gilgamesh. This has me wondering, has Irdya ever experienced a planet-wide flood? I'd assume that the third...
The Dwarvish history on the website notes dwarves helped humans settle in areas around dwarvish territory that weren’t underground. This seems like it would overlap with drakish hunting grounds, would they have come into conflict when Dwarven Doors was founded? In Northern Rebirth, far later, it...
after a discussion on Discord yesterday about wesnothian tongues, I worked on an exemple of a translator using HTML and JS (with a file of py if someonewant to developit).
For now, it contains 5 options:
English,
Saurian (tongue only. means it add sss or zss to s and z),
English Dwarven tongue...
Ka'Lian is considered as council of lords and ladies of the forests that gather together on important meetings. Rise of Wesnoth shows 4 such rulers (Lord Logalmier, Lord Aryad, Lord Isomirith, Lady Dionli (would be nice to give them representations to the forests)). But after Legend of Wesmere...
I would like to start of by stating I am not part of any sort of ' rework fever ', this has been in the works for a year and a half now Now that that is out of the way, I can start:
This story starts in the year 441, in which the Knalgan Alliance was first formed. First it was but an alliance...
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...
As lately saurians are often mentioned race on forum I wanna start new topic on this case too. In Secrets of Ancients Ardyn-na says saurians were hostile to Vendraxis's ideas of promoting necromancy among saurians. But looking on line of saurian augur we may go to conclusion their actions are...
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...
Lately some users publicated critical analises of some fragments of plot in Northern Rebirth. Taking this into account I propose to release new version.
My main propositions:
- changing characters of Krash, Starlag, Hamel, Hidel, Sisal, Zlex, Tallin, Eryssa, Malifor, Rankhas, Al'Tar
- removal of...
Some creators of add-ons like Lord Knightmare and Kwalidun were placing minotaurs on the Far South. What's the possible orygin of them in this place? :D
:) hello everybody,
i'm currently making a campaign and the background of the story needed some deeper justification so i came up with an story/explanation that describes the creation of iridia (i remembered like the name of the world had a Y somewhere in English but i just read it in the Spanish...
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.
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 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...
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...
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...
