i found it on a freeware games site ... however i dont remember which ...

it s not mentioned in the poll ... BfW was the most popular dl there in strategy games.... so i had a look and it looked nice and interesting so i downloaded and started to play immediately :)

now still playing it mostly in single player mode (campaigns or some maps vs ai)

multiplayer mode is even better :)

I got to know Wesnoth last year by an RSS feed about new freeware and shareware downloads on http://www.chip.de which is the website of a German computer magazine (see http://www.chip.de/downloads/c1_downloads_17625051.html).

Found at Apple.com, was looking for new games since I've gotten bored with WoW and lucky for me I find this little gem. =D

I typed into google "top 10 free games" and I found Wesnoth in the first finding on the first place :-) In fact I was searching passively a long time for something like this.

Saw Battle for Wesnoth listed on the Wikipedia list of open source games page. Was bored one day and needed a good game to play. And now here I am.

How did I first find out about what now? What is this "Prattle for Wet Moths?" A global meeting discussing the problem of rain getting moths' wings wet? Sounds like treacherous trouble of the most treacherously troublesome kind.
