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 looks good at the bottom since the page isnt too long; i had no problem finding it.
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...

I tried logging into the official server, but it didn't work. It gives me an incorrect password error - I tried copy-pasting and copying by hand, neither worked. I'm supposed to input my forum password, right?

well, that worked so i guess I'll just use this one
I have installed wesnoth from the cachyos repos, but also tried the one from the arch repos, same behaviour. Using a laptop AMD Ryzen™ 7 7730U with Radeon™ Graphics integrated gpu
I have tried to play the first campaign, but every unit is invisible.
I am running into issues with wayland and wesnoth crashing while running under xwayland (I assume that's how it's running anyway) since updating Fedora KDE to the latest version where wayland is enforced. This issue was not present before when I was running under X11, and occurs when...

I was not even aware it is possible to play wesnoth on xwayland already. Guess I have to try
this eventually. Are there many wesnoth developers testing on wayland?
Apologies for my cluelessness but in a multiplayer game map I keep being out of sync when recruiting units, or when my allies recruit units. The era is ageless with many other mods installed, but I am sure I am up to date, and in no way did I try to modify the mod files myself.
I took a picture of...
Last post
What mods do you have installed and what mods were enabled in this game? Also a replay of the game might be handy
Further info: When computer goes to sleep while Wesnoth active, cooling fan comes on, which indicates to me that sometime recursive might be going on, but what do I know?

I have a notification re the thread: "Report closed by WhiteWolf" dated 3 Sept 25, 7:27 AM.
Did you report a spam post in that thread? (i.e., you clicked the "!" button to notify the moderators?)
When i use Random Maps, sometimes it crashes on Maps creation.
It happens with default map generator, on very big maps, especially when setting mountain very high and clicking often on "create new map".
But more often with custom Maps Genrator, as well more likely on...

Ok, so generate_river_internal recurses a bit too much so you can run out of stack space. Looks like it recurses for every river hex. We should rewrite that to tail call recursion or really no recursion.
Hi everyone, I recently tried multiplayer against the AI (in a campaign scenario) and noticed the AI keeps spamming units heavily in the early turns — which often overwhelms my formation and leaves me falling behind. I’ve tried playing on Easy but it still happens.
I wanted to ask:
Is there any...

I agree with beetlenaut that it's better to try to beat the scenario rather than simply make it easier.
I'm no expert but impatience is often a player's downfall: take your time, don't rush!
There are many, many factors involved and it can be a tad confusing putting them togther to begn...
When I'm running Wesnoth on my Windows 10 Thinkpad Laptop, closing the lid doesn't put the laptop to sleep----it continues to drain battery at full operational rate. Running powercfg /requests produces the following output:

The problem still exists today. Apparently the screensaver-disabling logic is only turned off on macos:
wesnoth-1.18.5/src/macosx/SDLMain.mm: setenv ("SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER", "1", 1);
Launching wesnoth with this variable manually set fixes the issue of wesnoth messing up xidle.
Just loaded 1.19.4 and log mentioned: error config: Multiple [unit_type]s with id=

Yep, *clean* install worked fine.
I don't normally install on top of older versions but was updating both stable and dev and must've forgotten to cleardown the dev folder.
Anyway, all sorted now and my fault, v1.19.14 is fine.
Thanks again.
Cheers!

I’m running Debian 12.11 KDE and just installed wesnoth 1:1.16.9-1 all installed ok however when I tried to exit the game it will not I can only get out by doing a hard reset.
Last post
What does hard reset mean? You need to reboot your device? If so then it's unlikely wesnoth can do anything about that. Sounds like an OS or hardware issue.
I suggest rather installing and playing wesnoth.1.18 instead, btw.
Dobrý den,
při vytváření místní hry ve verzi 1.18.5 na systému Linux Mint 22.1 jsem narazil na problém s rozhraním.

Hello,
this is not a bug, I noticed in UTBS, in specific in Scenario 5: A Subterranean Struggle

Sounds like #2682, that purple flags get the time-of-day recoloring and end up looking too blue during nighttime or underground.
The dwarven flags are already a different shape than the troll ones, but that isn't obvious with purple and black flags...
Hi,
Was running through Northern Rebirth v1.19.11 on Windows 11 and in Clearing the Mines when the ghouls etc. spawn, one spawned in a cave wall as shown in the partial screen grab below.
Necrophage spawned in rock wall.jpg
This was the only unit that was spawned out of the swamp.
I’ve registered an account but can’t join the official server. I’m playing this game for the first time ever.
After pressing “Join Official Server,” I wait and then see a connection timeout error.

When you hover over the unit attack icons in the sidebar, a tooltip is displayed showing the range, damage type and then percentage modifiers against other units. But it doesn't seem to work any more and all units are listed as if having no vulnerabilities.

It says, the version of wesnoth is 1.19.11, and it announce what is the update, but when I play the game, it still says 1.18.5
I'm excited for "The Deceiver’s Gambit" update, but when I open the game, it still “Delfador’s Memoirs”, maybe because it still says 1.18.5 i guess?
can anyone help me?...
Last post
Perhaps there needs to be a distinction or more clarity between the update posts on Steam - I imagine many players aren't necessarily familiar with the even/odd stable/development branch convention. I remain on stable on Steam but I also get update messages for development.
Play the subject scenario to see this behaviour, unsure if specific conditions are needed but it seems to be consistent. As described, one of the enemy leaders will simply recruit one keep of units, then not move any of them until one of your units moves within...

Hello,
I don’t like that the computer essentially chooses which weapon is best for an attack now. In earlier versions, you had to manually select a weapon and compare the potential battle outcomes using the damage calculation feature. Nowadays, I rarely check the damage calculations because there’s...

I would like to say that when you create unit text file cfg and inside it you use base unit then abilities arent taken from base unit to current one file. You can check it on units from era clash of lords. Some units doesnt have nightstalk, curing, healing and so on. I guess its a bug....

It's true that the abilities don't appear on the base_unit pages while the abilities appear in the original unit description, is that what you were talking about?
I would like to say that updating addons doesnt work, Wesnoth v1.18.3. It shows downloading window but it doesnt fill up with passing time. There is work around for this bug and its to delete addon and download it then, new version.

This is a result of the Help being converted from the old GUI and is a major ongoing piece of work (was introduced since 1.19.4).

I returned to The Battle for Wesnoth today after a week away from the game only to find that my saved games folder is now empty. On further investigation all my other Wesnoth1.18 folders are empty too. I can only assume that after the latest update I have lost all my saved games, add ons and custom...

No, without the logs being present it's hard to say. It's very strange that the log files are created by empty though.
Yesterday for some reason I completely lost connection, wasn't able to do my moves, but the timer still counted down. After leaving the game, server list wouldn't refresh; it would stay as it was before I joined that game.
