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,...
There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.
Write clearly, be nice to others, and be very careful when posting anything related to politics or religion. When asking for help, remember that everyone here is a volunteer. Prefer editing your previous post over double posting. No animated avatars or graphical signatures. Don’t plagiarize other’s...

The game manual
Storyline prose in the mainline and UMC campaigns
Wesnoth Wiki maintenance
Wesnoth fanfiction
Promotional material
Hello everyone, hope your all well. Quiet some time passed and some new information turned up.
This will help us to finalize the dunefolk once for all to a degree they feel like a natural part of this game and still leaves a lot of gaps to be explored in future or filled with UMC content. Thus my...
As far as I know, dwarves consider it against their own honor code to wear masks, as they enable to commit atrocities without repercussions.
Connected to the social importance of the Loremasters' function of witnesses is that dwarves have a horror of concealment and disguise; to wear a mask is...
hi, I intend to make a series of portraits of Aragwaithi, covering seven L1 branches and one leader. Therefore, I need to carry out a series of cultural textual explorations to expand the unit description. As far as portraits are concerned, I've vaguely outlined the general appearance. In any case,...
note: this thread is not complete and will be completed as the development process of the dunefolk campaign takes place
As the note says, this thread only collects and publicly states all the lore we have so far, which then will be the foundation for the wiki page. Note all of them are...
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...
In my scenario-in-progress, the player has to capture a particular village deep in enemy territory and hold it for three turns. At some point, if the player has not yet captured the village, there won't be enough time to complete the objective before time runs out.
I have an orcish archer (id=Megdar) with the guardian status, and I changed his max_moves to 3. Now he waits patiently until someone gets close before he springs into action. It works great. However, once in a while Megdar somehow doesn't get killed by the player right away, and then he's stuck...
The Writers' Forum guidelines indicate that discussing Wesnoth fanfiction is appropriate here, which made me wonder about Wesnoth-based tabletop roleplaying games. The session write-ups of those would pretty much be fanfiction, I would think. I'm curious whether anyone out there has explored the...
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.
According to the timeline, Asheviere ruled from 501YW to 518YW, seventeen years. According to Heir to the Throne, Elves Besieged takes place twenty years into Asheviere's rule. Regardless, that is a very long time. Before the actions of Heir to the Throne there was no indication that her reign...
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 think that evolution is an absolutely fascinating topic and I wanted to apply it to the creatures of Irdya. This excludes the humanoid species (Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Dunefolk, Trolls, Ogres, and Merpeople) or pure magical (Woses) purely because I don't want to get into that. I'm only...
Tremendously powerful in unfathomable ways, the sage-like Sylphs are masters of manipulating the bridge between the mundane and arcane worlds. Long years spent peering into the ethereal realm have eroded the ability of these elves to view...
I am currently working on a campaign where you will first play as outlaws, but later your leader will become a mage. As I think the figure Crelanu is really interesting, I thought about modifying my story so it fits to Crelanu . Is there any Canon /Mainline information about...
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...
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...
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,...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
