Posts from Battle for Wesnoth

My eyes are tired, and my head is about to explode from the endless dungeons, endless reloads while waiting for percentage-based upgrades, and endless failures eighty-three times in a row. Apparently, this is the essence of the single-player game.

What bothers me even more is that the opponent takes nine thousand hours to make a move, and the camera centers on each unit at the same time, so you can't even read the description of what you want to do. I'll check the settings; maybe it can be turned off...

You just need to hire a lot of cannon fodder, calculate the tactics, and finish them off with powerful units. But yes, there will be a lot of loading screens, otherwise all the strong units will die, and that's it, game over.

So, I started the dwarven campaign, which is about the scepter. It's really interesting. I beat the first mission on the second try, and I'm trying the second one – the elves crushed me on the first attempt, and I didn't make it within the time limit on the second. I think I've figured out where I can make up for lost time.

What bothers me more is that the opponent takes nine thousand hours to move.

You can hold down the Shift key during the opponent's turn, and then all that movement will happen a little faster.

Tactics are certainly a good thing, but as in a roguelike, percentages can ruin everything, but these are minor issues. I'm almost done with the first campaign, I think I'm on the second to last mission. Thanks to all this, I've managed to level up my support group quite well, and they're tearing everything apart. Unless I'm really unlucky, there's not much to spend money on after the initial purchase, so I guess I'm ready to move on to the next stage. By the way, Ples, why is the Paladin more effective against undead than his counterpart of the same tier? Four units of healing don't really make a difference, while the extra damage and fifteen or twenty hit points are very helpful. Or were you talking about these upgraded Knights in general?

The paladin has an arcane melee attack.

Yes, let’s focus on the heroes.

Heroes are a thing of the past.

Moreover, up to and including the third part (if we don't take expansions into account), this is literally true.

Well, in Cartstone.

Yes, the decision has already been made.

By the way, you can check out my screenshots in the Adventure Journal. Although, it's better not to read the content, because there are SPOILERS. But at least you can see what army I have and how big it is. And most importantly, keep the story characters, like advisors and helpers, because sometimes they are the only ones who stay with you in the game.

We played in the cooperative survival mode and got wrecked. We need two more people because the computers are lagging.
Anyone interested?

I'm there under my forum username, just in case.

Let's chat on Skype, I'll be eating for now.

I've completed two campaigns and am currently playing through the third.
