Re: Ghosts - I only seem to get ghosts

Ghosts are expensive and have low HP. At day a mage kills a ghost with 2 hits. Drake Burners are also very good against ghosts. And ulfs (especially strong ones) have a high chance to destroy a full-health ghost at day (at other times they might need some support, such as from a Poacher). Dark Adept...

Re: What campaign do you expect on current UMC ?

I see I'm not the only one who would like to see a naga campaign. :)

Re: The initial campaign...

I'd recommend paying the campaigns in the following order: 1) Tutorial (obviously enough) 2) An Orcish Incursion - Elves versus Orcs, just like in the tutorial, and on the lowest difficulty provides useful hints and tips. Also introduces a few new units over time 3) The South Gaurd - on the lowest d...

Re: Cities of the Frontier (aka sim-Wesnoth)

I gave the new version a try. It ended up badly because I decided to go explore (BAD decision), but that's not important. This time I managed to survive Spring and get to Summer. I find the Forge too expensive early in the game, yet you need it in case you get swarmed by bandits. This forces the pla...

Re: Cities of the Frontier (aka sim-Wesnoth)

I gave this a try on 1.10 (worked fine) and quickly ran out of money. I'd like to make a few suggestions: - explain about the Stand Down option as soon as the player recruits a unit - any unit, not just a spearman - once the player is below 100 gold give a warning about low money - give a warning ab...

Re: Evacuation

Cavalryman, definitely. As for how much gold - it depends on difficulty and on your recall list, so it's impossible to say for sure. But you should have enough gold for at least 2 full keeps of recalls if you intend to defeat enemy leaders.

Minor graphics issues in 1.9.14

While observing a game on Elensefar Courtyard I noticed a couple of odd things (screenshot attached): 1) See where the mouse cursor is? The orange outline passes through the wall. Usually it stays on top of the wall 2) Look at the long wall going north-south, specifically the west side. See those 5 ...

Re: Icons for Goods

My impressions were as follows: 1) At first I wasn't sure what that is supposed to be (red fish?). After looking at it for a bit (and after reading the text) it started looking like meat 2) and 3) at first I wasn't sure what they are. The grain reminded me of scratches initially. The fish... well, l...

Re: [UI] Run fights in separate threads.

You know you can increase the game's speed, right? With a high speed both movements and attacks are just a brief blink that lasts less than a second, so you can start a second attack right away.

Re: Wesnoth Tutorial: Part II

I played the tutorial just to see the way slowed units look, but after finishing it I have a couple of questions: - can anyone explain to me what was the orc leader trying to do, and would it not be better for him to stay in his keep? - anyone else think it would be a good idea to limit the number o...

Re: A little change to Dextroux Trait

One thing you're overlooking is that (in mainline, at least) a lot of units have no ranged attack (like Orcish Grunts) or very weak ranged attack (like the Loyalist Spearman). Elves can attack such units with no retaliation (or almost no retaliation). Dextrous increases the damage they can do for fr...
