Talk:Description

Old

Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host against whom none can stand! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.

Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir, or use your dread power over the Undead to dominate the land of mortals, or lead your glorious Orcish tribe to victory against the humans who dared despoil your lands … Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. You can create your own custom units, and write your own scenarios – or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge your friends – or strangers – and fight in epic multi-player fantasy battles.

Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir... step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost... vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage... guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home... Tired of being the good guys? Use your dread power over the undead to dominate the land of mortals or lead your glorious orcish tribe to victory against the humans who dared despoil your lands. Strike at the heart of the kingdom with your gang of outlaws or take the dragon-like drakes on a murderous rampage!

200+ unit types. 16 races. 8 major factions. 2 continents. Hundreds of years of history. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and limited only by your creativity - make your own custom units, compose your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to 8 friends - or strangers - and fight in epic multi-player fantasy battles.

I'm assuming this is supposed to be the description for 1.1.2? it seems to make reference to SotBE and DH, which have been removed.

Part of the 2nd paragraph intentionally talks about some of the non-official campaigns. --Scott 03:12, 14 March 2006 (CET)

IMHO it's missleading to mention UMC as being part of the game without making a distinction. For now i added the parts of Scott's description that apply to 1.1.2 -eleazar
