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...
I happent to in need for unit descriptions.
The units that need an new description are:
level 3 Great Ogre(currently using same as Ogre), its only a stats upgrade. Done by Saloghost, see post below.
the level 2 dunefolk Raider, which is using same as dunefolk Robber, the robber -> raider...
I'm a long-time fan of Wesnoth, but my skills and interests lie more in the direction of writing than coding, music, or graphics.
So, I'm putting this out here: if anyone wants assistance with campaign stories, dialog, or proof-reading/editing of narration/dialog, I am interested in assisting...
I'm currently writing a scenario in which an Orcish mutiny occurs. At the start of the scenario, a group of Orcish mutineers attempt to communicate with the player's side, requesting aid in exchange for their services later on.
I want your takes on how to Orc-ify how these statements. (How they...
I have recently come across something in that seems to be a mistake. It dates the start of the Son of the Black Eye (campaign) 842 YW. In the scenario 17 Human Attack (it takes place in 843 YW) it is stated by Howgarth III that the peace treaty (between orcs and humans) was taken place 27 years...
The story of a campaign is, in my eyes, the most interesting part of a campaign. Therefore, it is important to me while playing/designing a good campaign that there's a good, consistent and interesting story which ties together the campaign.
Ok, I've jumped again in Wesnoth and I stumbled upon the newest version of the Quenoth Elves in Wesnoth 1.13.13. Sadly, the new units lack descriptions so I thought I could finally be useful to the project (since I can't code, I want to help in a different way).
Hello!
I'm working on a campaign that can be placed before year 250 BW. It will be ready soon! It has 13 scenarios.
The only idea I can advance now is:
The enemy faction are the drakes.
The Official Wesnoth Timeline says:
Prehistory
Elves and Dwarves inhabit the Great Continent.
Humans inhabit...
TL;DR: Godwin's Law, but with fantasy villains
SPOILER: Just don't read this if you don't want to be spoiled. Nearly every big bad in Mainline is listed here.
I have found that, while Wesnothian campaign and scenario guides are wonderful for most purposes (especially the one by ESR), they (unless...
what points should be included in the description should it be attempted to get written ? here i mean if there is any established facts about the species so far.
inspired from the talk in the discussion about units and different perpective on the different cultures in Westnoth, I have created a rough outline for a campaign that has thematic roots in stories about colonialism. Please consider the draft here a first iteration, because it's...
It's possible I missed something, but I think there is still no settled name for the antelope things that the new Quenoth scouts ride.
(
There were a couple brief, abortive discussions that I know of, one of them here:
One name I had suggested was dustbok (can be referred to colloquially as...
To go along with the renaming of the Khalifate to the Dunefolk, another topic that needs to be brought up(and has been intermittently brought up in the other threads) is what the Dunefolk's racial description should be. So, since the faction renaming and race renaming are more or less...
It was pointed out to me that portions of the Wesnoth race cannon remain unfinished in some areas. As directed I have put together an overall description of the Wose race. Any feedback is welcome and I am open to any reasonable suggestions. This description follows mainline Wesnoth, which it is...
Because it looks like my proposal is not being considered, I decided to rescind it so that I could use something similar in one of my own non-CC works. If I was incorrect, and you guys want it replaced here, then I will edit it back in.
Hi, I've been getting back into BfW after a long absence and while going through the Tips of the Day in the Main Menu, I noticed that a lot of the ones that are quotes from characters in the game use in-game language and terms like ZoC and hit chance percentages. This is of course a very small...
I'm good at storytelling, but I don't know anything about coding. So, I was wondering if someone would like to create a campaign with me, someone with coding knowledge? It can be long or short, but I'd rather have a long one.
You should be quite a skilled writer yourself, though, since I lack the...
Has anyone else thought about what the Wesnoth calendar might be like? It would be cool to come up with something detailed enough to be used in the timelines and such.
As far as I know, the only thing that has been definitely settled as a de-facto standard is the epochs of the pre-Fall era - BW...
I remember a discussion about that somewhere in the forums a while ago. Unfortunately I can't find it right now, otherwise I'd link it here.
To the topic.
Right now I am working on the vilkai faction, but they seem to be quite alone, so I was wondering what other factions and/or races could join...
I have been contemplating the creation of a campaign for Wesnoth. I have some previous experience with modding, and built half of a campaign last summer before college came in and ruined everything :augh:
To that end, I would like some advice on the topic of campaign structure. I know...
I'd like to know if there is anybody who enjoys writing and has better imagination than I do, who would be interested in helping with the text for quests for a Wesnoth add-on I'm making. It isn't anything too heavy or long, just a few lines each quest(so far there are 12). To give an example of...
I'd like to discuss the age of Karun and Kapou'e (and any further issues that might appear within this discussion) in this thread.
There is a hint for the age of an average orc given in the race description
The oldest known orcs have been around 50 to 60 years of age, but very few individuals...
One of the elvish names defined in names.cfg is Hymir , which is the name of a giant/ettin in Norse mythology. Wouldn't that name make more sense as an orcish, ogre or troll name? :hmm:
It was prompted by Sapient's suggestion in my last thread:
So, I've been going over HttT (version 1.12.6), specifically the story/dialog, and I had some thoughts on how they could be improved, but thought I should get feedback to make sure I'm not...
Player Faction-Dwarves and Human mercenaries
Protagonist-Dargan Dulmor, rightful heir to Dulmor Hold. Dwarvish Lord. Neutral Good
Setting-The Underdeep, near northern Wesnoth.
Enemy Faction-Drow Elves, Orcs and Dwarven ‘traitors’.
Description-The Dwarven hold of Dulmor was a...
Being a translator I started revision of translation of NR campaign texts. What I found that in 1.13 version .po files still exists strings for 'evil branch'. I translated it partly and found that text of it is of much interest. Much more than of ordinary kill the lich branch. Really that 'good...
I have never seen any official statement about the language that is appropriate for the game's targeted audience, 13+. The level of violence is quite well established, it goes beyond cartoon violence and contains loads of slaughter and murder, but does not reach graphic violence and it's nigh...
