New Content

World Conquest Translations

Support for translations has been added for World Conquest. That said, it will likely be some time until non-English translations are available.

Changes To Existing Content

Northern Rebirth Campaign

Removed the evil campaign branch. These were 5 incomplete scenarios, and there was no way for the player to choose to play this branch. Note: if you want to play this branch, it's been completed in Northern Rebirth Remake on the 1.14 add-ons server.

Secrets of the Ancients Campaign

The custom dialogue for recruiting zombie variations was ported to the new Lua GUI2 API.

Under the Burning Suns Campaign

Fixed a bug in the scenario Across The Harsh Sands, which caused far too few ghosts to spawn.

World Conquest Campaign

The text in this campaign has had many spelling and grammar corrections.

Mushrooms

The graphic for lone mushroom hexes was made smaller.

The was a bulk change of deprecated mushroom terrains to the new replacement. This doesn't change the movement costs, defense costs or the graphics; it shouldn't cause any visible effects in the game.

Fixes

Translatable Add-on Titles and Descriptions

Fixed translatable add-on titles and descriptions not showing up when the game language is set to the system default language and not stated explicitly.

A New Land

Peasants can harvest mushrooms again - in 1.15.4 a bug meant that the option to do it was missing from the work menu.

Recruiting

The player can recruit even if their recruit list includes an unknown unit type. This will now show an error dialog and then the recruitment dialog with the known units.

Help Browser

Fixed inconsistent behavior for single-clicks opening and closing sections. Single-clicking on the text part of the tree view now always shows that topic in the right-hand panel, while single-clicking on the icon to the left of the text expands and collapses the tree view.

In the units' help, the Dunefolk and Human pages now link to each other, and clarify that the Dunefolk are a group of Humans. When playing the Under the Burning Suns campaign, the Quenoth and Elf pages do the same.

Add-ons Using [load_resource]

Fixed an issue with 1.15.4's disabling of unused add-ons, where an add-on providing a [resource] would be considered unused and therefore disabled.

Custom Color Range And Palette

In 1.15.4, the [color_range] and [color_palette] WML tags no longer worked to create custom named colors. In 1.15.5 this has been fixed, and these tags should once again function.

Crash When Loading Saves

An easily triggered bug that resulted in Wesnoth crashing when reloading a save file from the main menu or after being defeated as been fixed.

Unit Icons Missing In Editor Unit Tool

This bug resulted in the unit icons displayed in the unit placer tool in the scenario editor not being displayed. In 1.15.5 the icons should once again be displayed.

macOS Unreadable Fonts

In macOS there would often be places where text was nearly unreadable due to issues with the font being used - text would often appear very thin and-or partially transparent. This has been fixed and all text should now be displayed normally on macOS.

Newly Introduced Issues
