The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Look always at this page... http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/wesnoth/wesnoth/changelog?rev=HEAD IF you see that suddenly over the new thing a Version 0.8.7 is written ---> new version will come out in 1-3 days :D ...If nothing comes out and you see that after that version there are workin...

I think that the elf scout should have his cost lowered by 1 gp.

The Zolpha doesn't have unit graphics, you just see terrain.
You need to use the minimap / mouseover the hexes to find the zolpha.

I think you mean gameplay wise? Dwarves are always at ends with elfkinds in any setting. It's like a rule of thumb.

Intelligent levels off after a while - at L3 for most units. Looking at it from a different perspective, intelligence is actually a big advantage. In long campaigns, you get a heavy hitter faster, that means you have early unit(s) to dish out the strong blows and the XP can be saved for other units...

I don't think you need a swarm bonus simply because if you can already churn out masses of zero-upkeep cheap units, that should be bonus enough. Of course, if L0 units become more expensive, then this swarm strategy becomes less useful. Remember also that an L0 unit can occupy villages and exert ZO...

To elaborate on the previous thread's discussion, the campaign version should be shown in the select campaign window. campaign authors can do this now without dev support by putting the version number in their campaign summary (like how the Liberty campaign does it), but it would be good to have cod...

For unofficial campaigns, can we have a mandatory version number in one of the campaign config files?

The campaign download screen should be able to check the list of available campaigns and filter out the campaigns that are already downloaded, if the versions are the same.

and possibly a unit with something of free movement. That can not be trapped when units surround it it still can move our of harms way. There's already an ability called skirmish to that effect. Ranged doesn't make sense as a trait. However, something like "Rock Lover" (gives an extra 1-3...

another thing you should do is make a map where you dont start on a castle, where you have to choose which terrain to defend and go to the castle on that terrain. this is hard to do, and requires a config file, which makes it harder to install. why shouldn't starting position be a supported option ...

I think full screen makes the game look more professional. Windowed mode should only be in Options.

Or create two shortcuts in the program menu: BfW (Full-Screen) and BfW (Windowed)

All these threads about portraits had me thinking ...

When Dacyn advances to a Mage of Light, can we have a portrait of Dacyn as a Mage of Light instead of a White Mage? This would need a new portrait and some code logic in EI ..

For Dwarven Doors, how about
a. making the opponents easier
b. making the right exit random

Bug fixes are frozen too until the next version? In some open source software projects new features are frozen when approaching the release cycle, but bug fixes are allowed.

Ah thanks Dacyn. I tried your suggestion, won and got a different error:

An error has occured while playing the game: game_error: invalid side found in unit definition
