Re: A grand design for singleplayer mainline lore

Not sure why we would need demons in Wesnoth other than 'Oh, it's fun to have them in the game'. Wesnoth doesn't need to be home to every single fantasy trope that exists, instead of which we can expand upon existing factions. Demons feel like a convenient 'evil entity' that serves as a shallow caus...

Re: A grand design for singleplayer mainline lore

Unfortunately new campainings often don't match the quality of the classics (despite all their shortcomings) and the plans of some of the current game management (like adding demons to the mainline and making them the center of events) raises a rightful concern about the future of the project.... I...

Re: Improved Konrad and "Clothed" Li´sar

Why are we redoing portraits when we already have ones that exist.
If anything, effort should be put into creating portraits for Dunefolk, Saurians, Drakes and others that lack portraits right now.

Re: Saurian Mainline Canon and Info ?

Here is the Code from Scenario 17 Scepter of Fire. I do not know, why orcs can recruit saurians, but they are there. Reason is sadly very simple. Many campaign authors treat orcs, nagas, troll, saurians, ogres all as one and the same. They randomly let orcs recruit saurians without considering lore...

Re: The South Guard (Revised)

In light of the fact that artwork is difficult to obtain, especially high-quality portraits, we should cherish the characters who have received such art, not delete them or relegate them to even further obscurity. Minister Hylas and Sir Gerrick had the privilege of receiving some of the highest-qual...

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art

5 portraits Female Captain (Mari) I know we are cutting Minister Hylas from TSG, but wouldn't it be a better use of resources to have Minister Hylas take on the role of 'Captain Mari' rather than commission a brand new portrait and unit type when Minister Hylas already has an extremely high-quality...

Re: Saurian Mainline Canon and Info ?

I made a campaign called 'The Thelien Attack' that details more aspects of Saurian culture and lore. It is set after 'The Son of the Black Eye' campaign. Only 6 scenarios long, so feel free to have a look.

Re: The Deceiver's Gambit - New Mainline Candidate!

Just finished the campaign. I think it was quite good, although as someone mentioned earlier, the role of the elves was quite diminished owing to the shorter length. I'm curious to see if the TSG remake/rewrite will remedy this, although I guess it is also fine as is. I do feel like some of the dial...

Re: The Deceiver's Gambit - New Mainline Candidate!

I actually don't have a replay with the bug in 'Sylvan Seer', since every time I noticed the bug, I reloaded my turn to prevent the loss of XP :( . For the enemy leaders, I actually save-reloaded a bit to get them both dead, I've attached the replay. Mainline references to 'Terror at the Ford of Par...

Re: The Deceiver's Gambit - New Mainline Candidate!

This is definitely an interesting campaign, and a 13-scenario length makes each scenario more meaningful. Here is my feedback based on my playthrough on the hardest difficulty up till Scenario 6. Lore Feedback Kalenz has the 'Aged' Trait even though this campaign takes place before HttH where he doe...

Forgotten Conflicts (1.18 Re-Release) (Version 1.0)

These are tales long lost in the shadows of the past. Some of valor, others of loss and betrayal. Knitting together fragments of the days long gone, the battles shall reveal the strife of ones disregarded by the keepers of our lore. (Expert level, 12 scenarios.) The campaign consists of individuali...

The Thelien Attack (1.18 Re-Release) (Version 1.0)

It is said the Elvish Invasion of the Far North had been crushed by the might of Great Chief Kapou’e, Son of the Black-Eye. Little known was the part played by the Saurians of the Black Marshes. This is their yarn, perhaps the most significant in the downfall of the last of Landar's Elves. (Hard le...
