Thank you kindly! I look forward to trying out the current multiplayer (been resharpening my skills first by replaying Northern Rebirth).

Re: Having trouble logging into the official multiplayer server.

Thank you. Like I said, its been a good three years at least since I posted here, and probably at least that long since I logged into multiplayer. Things have changed. Also, apologies for posting this in multiplayer development. Meant to place it in technical support. I appreciate the quick reply. E...

Having trouble logging into the official multiplayer server.

So its been about three years since I was around here, so I'm not sure if the setup has changed at all in that time. But when I try to log into the official multiplayer server, it tells me that I need a registered account on the forums. Well, I have that, obviously. I couldn't remember my password, ...

Re: Would you date an Orc?

First off, orcs won't all have the same set of values, nor will humans. Neither species is a hive mind where all members are identical and defined only by their race. Nor can one assume that all species will regard other species as inferior, especially when dealing with fictional species. There is n...

Re: Shouldn't a STONE CASTLE provide more defense than a wooden palisade?

I wouldn't mind giving stone castles greater defensive advantages over wooden ones (sort of like hills and mountains have different defensive values IIRC). But I don't think its essential. By necessity, the game simplifies/abstracts some things, as noted above. Also, a wooden vs stone castle will pr...

Re: What other turn-based strategy games do you remember?

Though not only a turn-based strategy series (it has real time tactical battles and a turn based strategic map), the Total War games can be played as turn based strategy if you autoresolve the battles, and I've had a lot of fun with those. Not at all like Wesnoth, though, which should be called a tu...

Re: Heir to the Throne plot/dialog discussion.

That'd be me. Good to know. :) Sure, "skilled and courageous" sounds more fitting there. Right then. I've always rather read that as implying that Eldred was just waiting for the right moment to execute his plan during the battle. To an observer, it'd simply look like they suddenly turned...

Re: Heir to the Throne plot/dialog discussion.

That makes sense. Its just that the wording comes off as somewhat unclear/ambiguous, and I'm wondering if that was deliberate.

Re: Are humans overfeatured?

There absolutely ought to be a Drake/Saurian campaign - I've written up an outline for one but stuff got in the way. I know pretty much exactly when it ought to be taking place though. When? :) And well, the thing with an Undead without the dark mages is that undead creations are canonically somewh...

Re: Are humans overfeatured?

I agree with you but technically decent into darkness is an undead campaign because the protagonist becomes a lich and more importantly you can recruit undead through out the campaign. Fair enough, I guess, but I'd still like a campaign with a ghost or skeleton protagonist, I think. For that matter...

I've put up a thread specifically for discussing dialog/story editing of HttT, if anyone's interested.

Heir to the Throne plot/dialog discussion.

Yes, another one of those threads. :P It was prompted by Sapient's suggestion in my last thread: https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=45239 So, I've been going over HttT (version 1.12.6), specifically the story/dialog, and I had some thoughts on how they could be improved, but thought...

Re: Writing assistance.

I don't know, but since the thread seems to have died almost four years ago, I'm guessing no. I recall a number of threads discussing improvements to HttT's dialog and plot over the years, but I don't know if any of those efforts ever got added, even partially, to mainline. Its a subject I'd certain...

Writing assistance.

I'm a long-time fan of Wesnoth, but my skills and interests lie more in the direction of writing than coding, music, or graphics. So, I'm putting this out here: if anyone wants assistance with campaign stories, dialog, or proof-reading/editing of narration/dialog, I am interested in assisting (time ...

Re: Some campaign ideas.

Hello there! You have suggested quite intriguing stories for campaigns. It would be worth your while if you coded them yourself. WML is not that hard to learn and most new coders start off by editing an existing project such as A Simple Campaign. However, there maybe someone willing to code it for ...
