Interested in creating your content? One of Wesnoth's best features is its extensibility. Players can create new maps, units, races, scenarios, art, music, and even entire campaigns!

Access to the "guts" of the game is both simple and difficult; if you have a UTF-8 text editor you have everything you need to build your own world.

Remember you can always ask for assistance and collaborate with fellow content creators on the Wesnoth forums.

Read this first!
