The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Just to inform you, there's this new hyper-insane apparently flawless knalgans v undead strategy. Because of stuff like that wouldn't it make sense for player two to pick the factions and then player one picks which player GETS each faction? Almost like "You split, I pick"? I dunno.

Eskon the all adept strategy is not in the guide. I'm talking about faction strategy and how you counter it. I can't talk about how to counter their counter against your counter. That would be... endless.

That's nice. This thread is not about drakes. I shouldn't have replied at all. That was a serious mistake. The Wesnoth forum is equipped with a mediocre to decent search engine. It will suffice to find drake strategies.

Caph: Oh that's right. I thought woses had a 10% cold WEAKNESS. It's arcane they are weak to. Also I did mean to mention skeleton kills and forgot in the Watch Out For Section. Adding that... Furthermore I never said ignore their fighters. Nothing of that sort even. Woses/Mages are a threat to more ...

Ok I was addressing the fact that clashers do not get slowed by hills. Furthermore with clashers you get more bang for your buck. Because yaknow a 6-4 attack isn't nearly as good as a 7-3 one. One more reason i like clashers: Less luck dependant

Don't be confused by the date on my forum account. I've been thinking about it for considerable time too :). 3/4 of your units have a blade resist. You should be able to block the fighters with 0 problems. It's definitely the Woses, Shamans, and Mages you gotta worry about bud. Not saying fighters a...

Ah I see trying to poach me for Drake strategies eh? XD I would go clashers and fighters and just delay to high heaven til you can make an attack at dawn (if you are second player) or early day (if you are first player) I would just make sure it is day when your opponent strikes back cuz those adept...

The 60,000 character limit was looming so I am making another topic for elves. Carrot Cake - Fighting Elves Elves, much like loyalists, are a balancing act when it comes to undead. They have fighters and archers which your units are relatively strong against, and then they have mages and woses. In f...

Caph (regarding the Knalgans)- You're right. Holy crap you're right. I need to tone that down. I was just going through the motions kind of in the calculation. (regarding bats)- Yea I'm including them later on. I was kind of half joking about isars. I'm kind of aware about the luck imbalance. (regar...

Yea I have thought about bats. But the cake guide is not about map strategy, it is about fighting specific factions. Bats are less of a faction-relative strategy and more of a map-relative strategy. That is why I chose to leave them out. I also mentioned that you could add things if you wanted to. T...

Oh wow just reread the last post of JW. Thought it said 2009 so it would be one year ago. Now I see it says '08. No idea if that is within the range of adept update. Also I assumed that if it was still sticky and used as a guide that it was still valid. That brings another question to mind: If it is...

One thing I noted in your Undead VS Drake tidbit. It may have been mentioned before. Don't get on me for not reading through the five pages of text. I'm not... I'm just not. If people keep bringing something up and it annoys then it should have an asterisk or something next to it. Ghouls are great v...

1: I usually go random. 2: If I pick, I pick undead the most. 3: When people see that I chose undead they recruit their HI's and mages and woses, but I use unorthodox recruiting methods for undead and people get something they do not expect anyway. When it comes down to it playing a faction you're g...
