![]() For example, on Debian Lenny the line in the sources.list should look like: Ubuntu users, make sure to precede the following command as root. You can compile and install the last 1.4.5 release easily on both Debian and Ubuntu.Įdit your /etc/apt/sources.list file as root and make sure you have a line which starts with deb-src. I like to see this completely free, community-maintained project getting more and more fun and polished with each new release.Ĭompiling from source in Ubuntu 8.04 and Debian Lenny Playing Wesnoth is maybe one of the most awesome gaming experiences, at least it is for me. You can run Wesnoth in both fullscreen and windowed mode, using the default shortcut Ctrl+F. Tournaments are organised often too, via the Wesnoth Ladder website. There are always games which you can join, or eventually observe. ![]() After all, a skilled player will always beat a novice player, even if the latter is 'lucky'. There are strong debates back on the forums, with some players complaining this system may not be the best, but in fact it's the only thing that keeps the game entertaining. Of course, the most important part of the game is that it randomises a battle's result using the chance to hit, so you can't be absolutely sure what the result of a battle will be until it's over. I've seen players who played this map for so long that they play it like chess: well-known combinations and movement rules for X first moves, depending on own race and the enemy's. For example, an interesting map is Isar's Cross, a 2vs2 map which although is small-sized, can make the game evolve into very interesting positions, where the whole game can depend on one unit, a village, or just a lost tempo during the day/night cycle. Maps included by default are well-tested and some of them gained real popularity in time due to either playability or situations which can evolve in time. The battle between players takes place on a hex map, and each hex can provide different defense resistance, depending on the terrain and the type of unit standing on it. Each faction benefits of its own units available for recruiting and each unit has special traits and abilities. ![]() The game comes with six default factions: Rebels, Loyalists, Drakes, Northerners, Undead and Knalgan Alliance. Many add-ons are available: campaigns, factions, new maps and eras. The stable release (currently 1.4.x) benefits of updates every few weeks or so, while the development branch (1.5.x) is also put out to the public for testing purposes. The developers are implicated there and often talk to other players and eventually listen to suggestions and add them in the development version. The development is more alive than many other open-source projects, and it is done in an open fashion on the forums.
