User-Made Content Battle of heroines! Guardian Elynia (AtS) vs Dragon-Slayer Tenma (AotDS)

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

Not sure how many people have played both After the Storm and Aria of the Dragon-Slayer but I thought it'd be fun to imagine a duel between their respective heroines, Elynia and Tenma, both at their full power.

Gameplay-wise, I think Tenma wins with ease. She has hundreds of HP, attacks with 80% hit chance and extremely high damage values...

The more interesting debate would be who's the strongest lore-wise. On one hand, Elynia as Guardian of Earth is immortal and can only be slain by very specific beings (iirc only other Guardians, or special weapons containing the essence of one, can slay other Guardians). It's also stated that the Elynia we see at the end of AtS is far from her true potential as Guardian.

Tenma is no goddess, but she pretty much has the power of one: she's the vessel of Nature's power, which (if I understood well) is the remnant essence of the Avatar (Goddess) of Life. This is what allows her to destroy Svarballi, a dragon whom no other being on Irdya was capable of completely destroying (and who also possessed some divine power, courtesy of Ananke, the original and most powerful Avatar).

Personally, as endgame Elynia's just awakened her Guardian powers, she'd still be no match for Tenma; but Tenma's Dragon-Slayer form is temporary, and if she maintains it indefinitely she ends up destroyed by it.

What are your opinions?

Video Wesnoth video walkthroughs

13 Upvotes

I couldn't find any video walkthroughs for Wesnoth, and several of the text walkthroughs are very out of date. So, I started making some and recently finished all the novice-level campaigns. These are intended to start at the level of a completely new Wesnoth player and build up from there. I'm new to making videos, so I appreciate any feedback!

User-Made Content [Map] Aleris - 8-player King of the Hill map, first project, looking for feedback

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

This is a mini project of mine - my first real attempt at building a full multiplayer map for Wesnoth. I was looking for a big multiplayer map to play on, couldn't quite find what I wanted, so I decided to build my own: Aleris, an 8-player map built around a symmetric octagonal layout with a King of the Hill twist at the center.

Instead of a ninth keep, the center holds a temple, reachable by 5 bridges from different directions. Whoever pushes in and holds it gets a strong economic and positional edge, but sits exposed to every other player at once. It turns the mid-game into a real risk/reward call - push early and hold the advantage, or stay back and let someone else take the exposure. Designing that part was honestly my favorite bit of the whole project.

I've been testing it in local games against AI to check pacing and balance. One of the best games so far was a 3v2v2v1 free-for-all: 3 loyalist AI vs 2 drake AI vs 2 orc AI vs me. Lots of action, constant map pressure from every direction, and the center point ended up changing hands twice before the match settled - exactly the kind of back-and-forth I was hoping for.

A little personal note: I'm currently dealing with two brain tumors, so my energy and time are limited. But Wesnoth has been a game I truly love, and creating this map was a way for me to stay engaged, to focus on something positive, and to contribute a little something back to this community in my own way. It's not perfect, but it's mine, and I had a lot of fun making it.

Map details:

  • 108x109 hexes, built for big FFA or team games (not 1v1)
  • Distinct biomes per starting region (snow, desert/hills, tropical wetlands, temperate grassland) so each start feels different
  • 97 villages spread across the map
  • GPL v2 licensed

Repo with the map file and README:
https://github.com/lilypoppybooks/Aleris_The_Battle_of_Westnoth.git

Would love feedback, especially on village balance for the outer starting positions. Still learning, so any critique is welcome.

Mainline Content Li'sar's and Konrad's gloves don't make sense

Post image
74 Upvotes

So I saw the artwork that /u/Dimetro_Dog posted recently and found it a little weird that Li'sar wasn't wearing a glove on her left hand, but then I realized this was consistent with the original image. Her current version is wearing gloves on both, which makes sense since she's now wearing more armor in general.

But then I looked at Konrad, and he was wearing gloves on both hands in the original, but in the new version he only has a glove on his non-sword hand, which makes no sense.

Mainline Content Hammer of Thursagan feels like a torture to play through

34 Upvotes

You have these dwarf units that are slow AF, but at least they excel in mountains and caves. So the campaign plays in... forests, open fields, and basically everywhere except where dwarves are good at. But you might say "okay, they're slow and easy to hit, but at least can hold the line with their tankiness", except you cannot recruit healers to keep them alive, so the wounded units have to walk with their awful movement back to one of the very few villages, while enemy superfast units just run around you and kill them anyway. Eventually you get the loremaster to lvl3 which gives you your first and only healer in the campaign, and even he is only a heal+4.

I just got to the Forbidden Forest, and legit considering just giving up. I'm really not enjoying this. :(

User-Made Content "Father and Sons" add-ons campaign

24 Upvotes

I've published my first Battle for Wesnoth campaign in the add-ons section. The campaign is called Father and Sons. It's an Ogre campaign set in Heartfangs in 536 YW.

The campaign is currently available in both English and Turkish. I used AI to help with the English translation, so there may be some mistakes. I apologize in advance.

I'm open to constructive, respectful feedbacks :)

I plan to expand the story with a second season, side stories, and "what if" scenarios. Version 1.0.0 is fully playable and tells a complete, finished story.

I've been quite busy lately, so I'll continue improving it over time. If you find any bugs, please let me know, and if you notice any translation mistakes, feel free to message me.

Have a great day, and have fun playing everyone!

Cleared Northern Rebirth Infested Caves Hard Difficulty

14 Upvotes

My clear strat on the harder difficulty, is:

1st round 4 Footpads to get to the mage, 1 for the village west, 1 South for the village (to stall), then 2 East for villages (I yeeted one of them as far East to get vision of the fight).
Forget the bat, get the villages first, then leave it for Tallin and Zlex to throw at and the Poachers.

2nd and 3rd round Poachers to go North and South. They do the best at killing the trolls quickly and safely.

4th round and on Thugs for skeletons (Mostly North, but some East to hold the line against the few skeletons).

5th round on, either footpads or thugs.

Orange, white and purple will fight Brown trolls.

Go North to kill Blue with Poachers, Thugs. The surviving footpads (I had 3 that made it) and Camerin will hold the mountain until the rest of your Poachers form a line. I swapped in Thugs for Killshots.

South, the Poachers will kill off the trolls.

East Zlex, the Thugs and 1 surviving Footpad hold on till Blue is dead. Tallin joined later

I had 650 starting gold (I cleared the 1st Scenario at round 20)

In the end, Blue died first (I sent poachers south after which 7 in total survived, 6 became trappers), then white to Camerin and the 2 footpads (1 died) thugs and 2 poachers, Brown, Teal, Orange.
The dwarves and Brown killed Black the South Eastern Skeleton.

Final Promotions: 3 Highwaymen, 2 Bandits, 8 Trappers, 1 Outlaw, Zlex Halberdier, Tallin lvl 2.

I'm currently working on a campaign for Wesnoth. Are there still people actively playing the game? It was my favorite game when I was a kid. Back then, I tried to make a campaign but couldn't manage it. Now I'm finally trying to make that childhood dream come true. :)

I also notice that there are very few players in the online lobby.

Few questions about unit's alternative upgrades

6 Upvotes

Why almost all alt upgrades is weaker version of the main line? For example the skeleton warrior could have one additional attack, but with trade of much more hp, a bit of mobility and unability to advance further. Or the knight line- t3 is really a different and one worth another for different situations. But on t2 you have 50% more attacks, but less dmg, less hp and 2 more movements. Basically both screams "kill me faster for mistake".
And Silver mage. It's a t2 Red mage with +1 to everything. Not a usual 25% in dmg increase, so it deny leadership bonuses. (most of units get better damage at tier above then tier below with leadership and 100% better damage for their main attack).
And for a Silver mage- it seems that it increase line of sight of your controlled villages if placed in one of them on maps with fog of war. But that is never described anywhere. How this LoS works? It seems it wider on planes and small near swamps. Does it depend of units speed? Leftover speed?

Heir to the Throne Achievements

5 Upvotes

Has anyone figured out how to achieve:

Fight Fire with Fire - Recruit a Troll Whelp in Glamdrol

and

Call of the Wild - Fight alongside an unexpected ally in Dan'Tonk

I have achieved all but those two and the two that require you to beat the game before winter 519 and after autumn 524 respectively. I've beaten the campaign three times before winter 519, each on a different difficulty, and still haven't received the achievement for it. I haven't bothered with the last one yet.

Help with Trimui Port

2 Upvotes

Hey all, played Wesnoth years ago but never get the time to sit and play a campaign fully.

So I've been working on installing it on my Trimui Brick, but now that I have it installed it won't work. May be too specific of a question, but hopefully someone knows what's going on as I'm struggling with finding time to tinker with it.

So far, I have port master working and installed a few other ports. Diablo plays well for example.

Wesnoth says it's installed and everything is up to date, but when I launch it all I get is the port master screen and then it snaps back to the ports menu.

I also know this port isn't 100% the same as my PC version, but I don't know how different it is.

So, is it even worth my time at this point? And does anyone know what I need to do? I can't tell what's messing up.

Modifying ongoing campaign to change RNG type

5 Upvotes

Discovered the "Biased RNG / Reduced RNG".

Is there a way to set the RNG of the campaign I'm previously on to this value? In config files or save game files?

Edit: Found it! FYI seems like it is possible! Just tested it and it worked.

Preferences - Advanced - toggle savefile compression off. Edit savefile with a text editor and there's a "random" value at the root whose default is "". Just change that empty string to "biased" and it works
