BATTLE FOR WESNOTH FORUMS FREE
The Battle for Wesnoth team is proud to release version 1.8 of The Battle for Wesnoth, a free open-source turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme and roleplaying elements. It is once again time for that thrill you've all been waiting for, a Wesnoth stable release. OP shamelessly stolen from Valkun, some friends and I have started playing this semi-regularly again, so I figured I'd throw up a new thread and see if any of y'all were interested.Īpril 2010. You can find us on the 1.6.4 official server, just look for players with the PA tag. I'd advise new players to at least play through the tutorial (which isn't nearly as boring as most tutorials tend to be) to get a grasp of the various mechanics involved with the game. Like the elves, most of the units have both a ranged and melee attack making assaulting the Drakes a risky proposition. Having one of the lowest evasions on all terrain, the Drakes rely on hitting hard and making use of Saurians to hold the line. Players should especially be wary of the Gryphon Rider who can move vast distances over rough terrain while still managing to hit hard. The Knalgan Alliance is a dual natured faction with hard hitting, slow, mountain loving dwarves mixed with evasive, quick moving, humans. Not the mention the rest of the army which can drain, magic, and poison its opposition with ease. With very high resistances to blade, piercing, and cold, the Undead's skeletons can easily shirk off damage from many units while hitting hard themselves. Undead can be incredibly frustrating if you have the wrong units to fight them.
With a number of hard hitting melee units, the Northerners make up for their lack of magical ability through the use of assassins (poison) and their archers which have a special fire based attack. All but one of their units have both a ranged and melee attack, making it hard to find weaknesses to exploit against them.Ī chaotic faction made up from the traditional evil humanoids, orcs, trolls goblins and their ilk, the northerners favor the night when they can hit the hardest. Elves have the strongest defense while staying in forests with the best ranged non-magical attacks in the game. Being lawful, the loyalists fight best during the day with better than average ability to fight in the open thanks to their mounted units.Įffectively elves and a few notable allies, this faction is one of the most popular as the tutorial and starter campaign uses mainly their units. Your mainline human faction, the loyalists sport a wide range of units and are very capable.
