The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

If the random-number function returned values where the average result was much easier to get than very results or high results, that would reduce luck to an extent. For example, instead of rolling 0-20, roll (0-10)+(0-10) - Then, for instance, there are more ways to get 10 than 0, so 10 will be a m...

I've made a 75x75 map consisting of quite a few islands, connected by bridges. There's a ton of detail in it, and I've made individual versions for 2-7 players, with the castles positioned so the starting positions should be pretty balanced. It's most balanced for four players, IMHO. The reason for ...

I haven't had much trouble beating undead with orcs so far, but I've only played orcs against computer players so far. Trolls work good because they regenerate, and the assassin seems surprisingly useful even though undead are immune to poison. Here's a hint: If you stick a cheap level 0 unit in a v...

So what do you think of having the ability to turn a level 2 or higher unit into a leader, if you've lost your original leader already? Good idea, bad idea, unbalancing idea? So I was fighting a 3-player game against the AI with myself as Northerners, one enemy as undead, and the other as drakes. I ...

Don't forget the christmas elves, Keebler elves, and Machine Elves!

Not in an individual combat, though. If you just charged with fifteen horsemen on the other side of the map, and they all missed, and no other attacks had been made, then you could practically *rely* on your Cuttlefish hitting all ten times against the enemy leader, an Elvish Marksman in forest. Yo...

Personally, I like the current names.

I found it through sourceforge. I was actively looking for a game like this .

Personally I think it should stay the way it is now.

Hey, I LIKE the walking corpse.

You're using Internet Explorer? Eeewww.

I wasn't saying those things needed to be added, I was just pointing out that "they've covered all of the different unit categories you could have" wasn't really accurate (IMHO). I think it's good that no race is a jack-of-all-trades and that they each have their own style and abilities. B...

Ah, but it wouldn't be odd if a spear thrust knocked his head off and pinned it to a tree.

Sorry, I've been playing Aliens vs Predator (the first one) too much.

They don't have any units that're good on the sea, or teleport, or do fire damage, or heal, or... but we don't want the factions to all be the same, do we?

Personally, one of the features I like *least* about Warcraft III is... the 'creeps' on every map. It seems like their only reason for existing is to slow you down and provide XP and items. Of course I tend to lose Warcraft III games because everyone else is better about levelling their hero(es). Mi...
