We are happy to announce that Wesnoth is now able to accept donations on Liberapay . While Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers,...

Welcome to the Writers’ Forum. This is the place to coordinate with other writers on all sorts of Wesnoth-related wordsmithing. Relevant topics include:
The game manual
Storyline prose in the mainline and UMC campaigns
Wesnoth Wiki maintenance
Wesnoth fanfiction
Promotional material
I have had a discussion with another Wesnoth player. My opinion is that ghoul's poison is really infection, rather than actual venom. It has same game mechanic as poisoned thrown knives and other similar stuff though, so separate weapon special wasn't introduced.
Hello Everyone,
I've enjoyed playing Battle for Wesnoth over a number of years and most notably enjoyed playing the Heir for the Throne campaign, so much so, that I wrote an actual open-source novel based on the campaign. The source code (manuscript) is posted for free as a download on my website...
I tried to find a tread with similar content, but I failed. So if this was discussed before, please tell me.
I happen to find references to the Faerie World in canon (like unit description). In some UMC's (IftU, RotW, dunno which else) you can recruit faeries. Derived from what I read, the common...
The Kingdom of Wesnoth is the centre of the Battle for Wesnoth universe, however we actually don't know all that much about how the Kingdom is organised and ruled. The majority of campaigns take place far from the heart of the Kingdom. The South Guard, Liberty, Eastern Invasion and Descent into...
Since after many years of ossification I see that Wesnoth became more open to changes in mainline content, several problems arise. I mean Wesnoth mainline content is like a badly constructed house. You need a new good house, but you cannot get it instantly so you can not get rid of all bad things...
I want to discuss some issues about An Orcish Incrusion here.
The campaign represents the first direct elvish clash with orcs so this probably important to save this moment of Wesnoth history and not to demainline it but rather rework it.
The campaign has almost no storyline, the only plot line in...
There was a discsussion in this topic regarding that orcs in the Wesnoth universe do (or don't) eat human meat. This poll is created to understand what community thinks about that.

Hello, I am presently revamping a short campaign originally written by Elven. My native language is not english (french), Elven's neither (slovakian I guess). I have written a new prelude piece of story, plus a few lines of a new initial scenario (to be completed). An interesting point, also for...
As we know have an idea of what the new units are to be called, we now reach the phase to think about their unit descriptions.
Here we provide the final names of the units and marked which of them need descriptions. We also want to investigate, wether some descriptions of the base unit still fid,...
I want to write story for 17 Scenario(12 Battles,3 Scenes,1 Puzzle as intended) Campaign about Drakes(Nagas+Saurians+Humans) of Morogor(Island between Green Isle and Great Continent) about resettlement just like Prince Haldric said in Peoples In Decline Scenario and also did himself
I just put together a family tree of the Garardine Dynasty, who ruled the Kingdom of Wesnoth during the events of Heir to the Throne, and realised that the succession seems a little off.
I've put together a version of the family tree that shows the children and grandchildren of Garad I....
I was chatting with Octalot and wanted to clarify whether the destruction of Weldyn should be called the Fall or the Great Fall . In the Under the Burning Suns campaign, it is only referred to as the Great Fall , as is found in Across the Harsh Sands , Out of the Frying Pan , and Speaking with the...
My knowledge of the rulers of wesnoth its pretty vague. So for now we have a spam of kings starting from Haldrick I to all the way to Konrad II (he is the latest king i suppose i don't think there's anyone pass him.) I also know some of the other kings like Gararad I Haldrick the 4th 2nd but thats...
So I've just noticed this while looking at the new and old maps in wake of the recent discussions surrounding the Dunefolk, and trying to match them with the plot of Soldier of Wesnoth, one of Revansurik's campaigns, in which the Dunefolk play an important role. This is what I noticed: The story is...
In TRoW, Lord Elsomithir is an Elvish Marshal. In LoW, which happens a while after this campaign, he is demoted to an Elvish Hero without 'Lord' as a title. Further, the Council of Elves has glaring inconsistencies when one compares its composition from TRoW to LoW. It can't be that so many of them...
Hello! I have decided to create this poll to see what people think about this subject! Thanks for some of this go to sergey, who inspired me with his polls!
Links to these polls are here:
This is a poll: Do orcs eat humans?
This is a poll: Do drakes eat humans?
This thread is to discuss dialogue revisions to Descent into Darkness, which is part of a project that can be found here: Any feedback/comments can either be posted here or in this thread: Suggestions are welcome!
When did the piece of lore that says saurian society is sex-segregated surface, and why hasn't that been taken into account in official campaigns?
If we go by the lore from the wiki, then the Saurian Skirmisher unit line is all female, while the Saurian Oracle line is all male. However, nowhere in...
It's been a long time since I have posted anything on the forums. Anyhow, after having played a few of the mainline campaigns on harder difficulties than before, I came across a few issues.
The Rise of Wesnoth
1) Several scenarios feature Orcish Warlords with the portraits that...
The objective of the THoT scenario Forbidden Forest is Move both Aiglondur and Angarthing to the eastern signpost
I find that unclear since while there is a signpost on the map, the signpost occupies a hex and two units can't occupy the same hex at once. I had to check the WML to figure out what...
(This thread contains spoilers for the last scenario of DiD.)
nemaara is currently revising DiD (her work will soon be on the add-on server for beta testing). In the last scenario of DiD, Endless Night , Mal Keshar (now a lich) can win in one of two ways: either by letting the Foolish Hero kill...
So, I've been outlining the story for a possible campaign I might try to make in the future. Of course I need to learn WML for that to happen, but until then, I'd also like to sort out the story and the characters because they're the main reason I'm even considering this.
The Raid on Clearing
By Vaylon Kenadell
Commissioned by Aumpa Lumlor
Kugdosh and his orcs all laughed when they first heard the challenge.
Emerging from the northern wildlands on one of their raids, the orcish warband had been met by a company of elves and academy mages. A brutal fight ensued....
Yeah, this may sound a bit racist, but I am honestly confused. They look exactly like humans, but are considered to be a different race in-game and have non-human vulnerabilities. I am pretty sure that if I smack my Arab groupmate from university, he wouldn't be hurt more than anyone else.
In Descent into Darkness, at the end of S1 the town sergeant Drogan banishes the protagonist Malin from Wesnoth for having raised Walking Corpses. I submitted a change of dialog, does it look good?
Note the line Goodbye, commander that's being removed isn't in 1.14.5. It was added to have a...
