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,...

It may make sense from a narrative perspective, but I think that ending leaves players with a bad taste. I prefer the current dialogue because, even though it's tragic, it ends with reconciliation and the restoration of friendship.
Wesnoth 1.13.6 now includes a redesign of all the desert elf units, and general feedback regarding them should be collected in this thread. Please post your experiences about how fun you found them to play, whether you encountered any particular tactical problems or challenges, if you found some...

Hello, here I would add 2 things:
1) You can transform all necromancers into liches, so why not the saurian? That would be cool.
2) In the Knalga scenario, where we appear in the heroes' tomb, it would be nice to have the option to use the corpses of these heroes, "play with this mechanic".

If you do want to try out 1.19's TSG, I'd suggest waiting a week or so until 1.19.18 releases on 11/17. The newest version includes a few changes and bugfixes that aren't on version 1.19.17.
HttT has not undergone any significant change in 7+ years. I am currently reworking the scenarios one by one, updating some of the wording, dialogue, maps and general gameplay. At this time, the intent is not to change the story, add new characters, kill off old ones, or make any major plot...

This campaign is currently being massively rework. If you can, try the new version call Heir 2 the Throne on 1.19.
It probably does not solves all the issues you noticed and might even add a few, but it solves most of the former.

I interested in helping making this scenario better.

I think I might have discovered an interesting bug in level 3 (Ka'lian Under Attack) for the multi-player campaign while playing in the 1.8.5 release. After we made it the 9 turns, Kalenz and Landar failed to show up. Even their dialogue failed to be part of the conversation in the...

Hell, I found Liberty easier than HttT, even though it's listed as an intermediate campaign.
Wesnoth 1.3.8 (which is out now) contains some reworked scenarios for UtBS. I'll use this thread to discuss major changes and link to critical fixes for the campaign in general. I appreciate your feedback, and there's a few ways you can give it:
I just played through the 1.4.0-version.
Some oddities I observed:
The upkeep calculation is clearly defect ... I have about 30 units, and pay no upkeep, or so. When I recruit/recall additional units, I have to pay something, but in the next turn it is down to zero (or nearby).
Yes, you have now seen it all. If you remember the rogue mage idea in the art forum, here is a chance to see him in action (but not until later on in the campaign).
The name of the campaign is Liberty. It chronicles how a certain group of Wesnothians were betrayed by their ruler and decided to...
