Features

ScreenshotBuild up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host against whom none can stand! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.

Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir... step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost... lead a brutal quest to unite the orcish tribes... vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage... guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home... get revenge on the orcs by utilising the foul art or necromancy...

200+ unit types. 16 races. 6 major factions. Hundreds of years of history. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and limited only by your creativity - make your own custom units, compose your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to 8 friends - or strangers - and fight in epic multi-player fantasy battles.

Thanks for your work on this Kai. And welcome to the dev team Smile I made a couple quick bug fixes to your launcher.ini and added in the splash.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Battle for Wesnoth makes it take more than one line. Wesnoth seemeed odd. And Battle 4 Wesnoth, well, I'm not going there.

Fixed, thanks. Oh, be sure to base any updates on my updated version of your launcher.ini. It was missing quotes so it didn't work with paths with spaces. That was the fix I made for the release.

Oddly enough, I had the Battle for Wesnoth installed on my flash drive prior to this release. Now I can finally have one that is supported by the automatic updater.

Avete condotto una vita meravigliosa. Benchè ora sia tempo di partire. Riposi nella pace il mio amico, resto nella pace.
