My way is a unique one.

i were reading MTG forums and noticed a link on one persons sig, it read: try out battle for wesnoth its a free turn based stragedy game. I clicked the link and downloaded it. Been hooked after that. Should put it in to the poll as "heard from friend"?

I found it in a Linux Format CD in the games section and it sounded fantasy like so I looked at it and it looked good so I installed it

I've found the sources in a DVD bundled with an Italian magazine. Compiled it (great, it compiled flawlessly at the first try!), installed it, run it.
Tricky game to master, but really, really addictive. Thanks to all the code, artwork and translation guys for this awesome game!

Browsing the Gentoo Portage Tree in search for a new Addict... Well. I found it!

And I like the game being a bit tricky to master... Its mor Fun if you take youre time.

8.2 gave me the first try ,but i didnÃ‚Â´t like the graphik that days ,i didnÃ‚Â´t even play long enought to understand all the rules.

9.1 was delivered with Wesnoth 0.7.11. One boring Tuesday evening...

I read about it in a slashdot.org discussion yesterday where several people mentioned Wesnoth as a good example for a nice and well working FOSS game. And from what I have seen so far on the site it seems to be true and I`m going to install it when I`m back at my own pc... :-)
