The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Once I have about 10 maps I'll put up a map pack.

Why wait so long?

This is very similar to my old map, chilled caves, which I might bring back from the dead- minus the winter. Looking at that thread might really help you.

EDIT: Here it is.

you would have to have dexterous on melee units that only later develop ranged attacks. This isn't exactly true because dextrous is a race specific trait. Strong, on the other hand is broad and technically covers all 6 factions, including undead. (bats) Also, having the fourth trait reduces the amo...

In every way better than the other.

I can say a few things. -I am fairly sure the lack of a L2 on walking corpses and vampire bats is an intended dynamic. I can't say much more on this. -Developing art for the units would be a pain- especially for the walking corpse. Not only are you developing the regular image, but a troll L2 image,...

Yeah, a screenshot would look much better- the map tag doesn't represent the asthetic of the map well at all.

Thematically, I like the new changes. Otherwise, not particularly.

I would need to see them more in multiplayer, I guess.

Maps having lots of slow, easily defended terrain covering most of the map tend to stalemate. Your use of mountains is a bit excessive.

And yes, please try to check out the map guide.

To be honest, I don't even agree with the adept strong trait situation , but I would sympathize it more than the mage strong trait situation. Traits are just to add flavor to the game, not to be detrimental or optimal on every unit. As such, sure you'll have non-quick dwarves, strong mages, non-stro...

My opinion on the strong trait on mages, and perhaps other units- The trait system was never intended to be always optimal, giving the player the best traits on the proper units. This diversity was intended, and I don't feel removing the strong trait from the mage has a proper basis, or adds any dyn...

That's a bit off topic.

I remember that you (Doc) were "forced" to use cave terrain to prevent the drake blademaster from getting to the inner keep at turn 2 on castle hopping. Now that there is a non-cave mushroom, wouldn't it be more appealing to remove the cave and to replace it with the dirt mushroom? Just a ...

/me points out quickly that mountains are never placed next to villages...

Creating maps in wesnoth, as compared to other games, where dynamics is the only concern, is much harder when factional balancing is thrown in. To be honest, trying to depict a certain environment/region/world while keeping balance takes a good deal of skill. I would try to grasp the concept of fact...

Adding teleporters could be interesting, to be honest.
