| − | == Orbs ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | On the top of the energy bar shown next to each unit of yours is an orb.
| |
| − | This orb is:
| |
| − | * green if you control the unit and it hasn't moved this turn, | |
| − | * yellow if you control the unit and it has moved this turn, but could still move further or attack,
| |
| − | * red if you control the unit, but it has used all its movement this turn, or
| |
| − | * blue if the unit is an ally you do not control.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enemy units have no orb on the top of their energy bar.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Description ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The game takes place over a series of battles, or scenarios.
| |
| − | Each scenario pits your troops against the troops of one or
| |
| − | more adversaries. Each side begins with one leader in their keep.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Gold ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each side is given some amount of gold to begin with,
| |
| − | and receives 2 gold pieces per turn, plus 1 more gold piece for
| |
| − | every village that side controls.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each unit also has an upkeep cost.
| |
| − | The upkeep cost is generally equal to the level of the unit,
| |
| − | unless the unit has the 'Loyal' trait (see below).
| |
| − | Units that are not recalled or recruited - i.e. that lead the side
| |
| − | or join the side voluntarily - usually have the Loyal trait.
| |
| − | Upkeep is only paid if the total upkeep of a
| |
| − | side's units is greater than the number of villages that side controls.
| |
| − | Upkeep paid is the difference between the number
| |
| − | of villages and the upkeep cost.
| |
| − | | |
| − | So, the formula for determining the income per turn is
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2 + villages - maximum(0,upkeep - villages)
| |
| − | | |
| − | where upkeep is equal to the sum of the levels of all your non-loyal units.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Recruiting and Recalling ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Units may be recruited with gold, as long as the leader is on a keep,
| |
| − | and there is at least one vacant castle hex in the castle the leader is
| |
| − | in. Right-click in the empty hex and select Recruit to recruit new
| |
| − | units from the list that is presented. The cost to Recruit depends on
| |
| − | the unit, but is usually between 10 and 20 gold.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After you complete a scenario, all surviving units will be available to
| |
| − | you in the next scenario. Right-click and select Recall to recall units
| |
| − | from previous scenarios. Recalling costs 20 pieces of gold. A Recalled
| |
| − | unit retains its previous Level, Experience Points, and
| |
| − | (sometimes) any magic items acquired, but will arrive with full hitpoints.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You are not able to move or attack with a unit on the turn you recruit
| |
| − | or recall that unit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Unit Specialties ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unit specialties are described under Unit Description in-game.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Traits ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Units have traits which reflect aspects of their character.
| |
| − | Traits are assigned randomly to units when they are created.
| |
| − | Most units receive two traits. The possible traits are as follows:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Strong does 1 extra damage per strike in melee, and has 2 extra hitpoints
| |
| − | Quick has one extra movement point, but 10% fewer hitpoints
| |
| − | Resilient has 7 more hitpoints
| |
| − | Intelligent requires 20% less experience to advance a level (not Trolls)
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are also some traits that are not assigned randomly:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Loyal has zero upkeep cost
| |
| − | Dextrous does 1 extra damage per strike in ranged combat (Elves only)
| |
| − | Undead immune to poison (Undead only)
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Moving ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | When a unit is clicked on, all the places it can move to on the current
| |
| − | turn become lit up, while everywhere it can't move is marked in grey.
| |
| − | You can then click on the hex you want it to move to.
| |
| − | Moving onto a village that is neutral or owned by an enemy will take
| |
| − | ownership of it.
| |
| − | If you select a destination which is beyond reach in the current turn,
| |
| − | the unit will enter 'goto-mode' and continue moving towards
| |
| − | that destination in subsequent turns.
| |
| − | You can easily undo goto movements in the beginning of your turn;
| |
| − | goto can be broken by selecting unit and choosing a new destination.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You may not move through hexes adjacent to enemy units
| |
| − | (their Zone of Control) without stopping.
| |
| − | However, level 0 units have no Zone of Control.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Fighting ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you move next to an enemy unit, you may attack it.
| |
| − | Click on your unit that is next to an enemy unit, and click on
| |
| − | the enemy you want to attack.
| |
| − | Every unit has one or more weapons it can attack with.
| |
| − | Some weapons, such as swords, are melee weapons, and some weapons,
| |
| − | such as bows, are ranged weapons.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you attack with a melee weapon, the enemy you attack
| |
| − | will be able to strike back at you with its melee weapon.
| |
| − | If you attack with a ranged weapon, the
| |
| − | enemy will be able to attack back with its ranged weapon, if it has one.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Different types of attacks do different amounts of damage,
| |
| − | and a certain number of strikes may be made with each weapon.
| |
| − | For instance, an Elvish Fighter does 5 points of damage with
| |
| − | its sword every time it hits, and can strike 4 blows with the sword
| |
| − | in one exchange. This is generally written as 5-4,
| |
| − | meaning 5 damage per hit, and 4 strikes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Every unit has a chance of being hit based on the terrain it is in.
| |
| − | For instance, units in castles and villages have a lower chance of
| |
| − | being hit, and Elves in forest have a low chance of being hit.
| |
| − | To see a unit's defense rating (i.e. chance not to be hit) in terrain,
| |
| − | click on the unit, and then mouse over the terrain you're
| |
| − | interested in, and the defense rating will be displayed as a
| |
| − | percentage value in the status pane, as well as shown over the terrain hex.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Alignment ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Every unit has an alignment: lawful, neutral, or chaotic. Alignment
| |
| − | affects how units perform at different times of day. Neutral units are
| |
| − | unaffected by the time of day. Lawful units do more damage during the
| |
| − | day and less at night. Chaotic units do more damage at night and less
| |
| − | during the day.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The two "day" and "night" phases are differentiated as Morning,
| |
| − | Afternoon and First Watch, Second Watch, by the positions of the sun and
| |
| − | moon in the time of day graphic.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following table shows the effects of different times of the
| |
| − | day on the damage dealt by lawful and chaotic units:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | turn | day-phase | lawful | chaotic |
| |
| − | | -------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| − | | 1 | dawn | - | - |
| |
| − | | 2 | day (Morning) | +25% | -25% |
| |
| − | | 3 | day (Afternoon) | +25% | -25% |
| |
| − | | 4 | dusk | - | - |
| |
| − | | 5 | night (First Watch) | -25% | +25% |
| |
| − | | 6 | night (Second Watch) | -25% | +25% |
| |
| − | | |
| − | For example:
| |
| − | consider a fight between a Lawful and a Chaotic unit when both
| |
| − | have a base damage of 12. At dawn and dusk, both will do 12 points
| |
| − | of damage if they hit. During Morning or Afternoon, the
| |
| − | Lawful unit will do (12 * 1.25) or 15 points, while the Chaotic unit
| |
| − | will do (12 * 0.75) or 9 points. During First or Second Watch, the
| |
| − | Lawful unit would do 9 points compared to the Chaotic unit's 15.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If an equivalent Neutral unit were fighting, it would always do 12 points
| |
| − | of damage regardless of the hour.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Healing ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Injured units in villages will recover 8 hitpoints every turn.
| |
| − | Injured units that are adjacent to units with the 'heal' or 'cure'
| |
| − | abilities will also heal. A unit that does not move or fight during
| |
| − | a turn is 'resting' and will recover 2 hitpoints.
| |
| − | Hitpoints recovered through 'resting' are added on top of hitpoints
| |
| − | recovered through healing or regenerating.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A unit with the 'heals' ability may heal up to 8 hitpoints total per turn.
| |
| − | A unit with the 'cures' ability may heal up to 18 hitpoints total per turn.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Units next to unit(s) with the 'heals' ability will recover a maximum of
| |
| − | 4 hitpoints per turn; units next to unit(s) with the 'cures' ability will
| |
| − | recover a maximum of 8 hitpoints per turn.
| |
| − | The more units around a unit that can heal, the less each one will be healed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | An example of 'heals' with multiple adjacent units:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Two units next to a 'healer' will receive 4 hitpoints each.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Three units next to a 'healer' will not receive 4 hitpoints each;
| |
| − | instead, two will receive 3 hitpoints each and one will receive 2 hitpoints.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A unit may be healed a maximum of 8 hitpoints per turn,
| |
| − | with a possible 2 hitpoints extra if resting.
| |
| − | Trolls, which have the regenerate ability, will
| |
| − | only recover 8 hitpoints when residing in a village, not 16.
| |
| − | Nor will a unit inside a village get extra healing from
| |
| − | adjacent healers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 'Heals' prevents poison from causing damage while 'cures' removes poison.
| |
| − | When poison is cured or prevented the unit does not gain or lose hitpoints on
| |
| − | that turn due to healing/poisoning.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For more information see the in-game help.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Experience ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Units are awarded experience for fighting.
| |
| − | After obtaining enough experience, they will advance a level
| |
| − | and become more powerful.
| |
| − | The amount of experience gained depends on the level of the enemy
| |
| − | unit and the outcome of the battle: if a unit kills its opponent,
| |
| − | it receives 8 experience points per level of the enemy
| |
| − | (4 if the enemy is level 0), while units that survive a battle
| |
| − | without killing their opponents are awarded 1 experience point
| |
| − | per level of the enemy. In other words:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | enemy level | kill bonus | fighting bonus |
| |
| − | | ----------------------------------------- |
| |
| − | | 0 | 4 | 0 |
| |
| − | | 1 | 8 | 1 |
| |
| − | | 2 | 16 | 2 |
| |
| − | | 3 | 24 | 3 |

| |
| − | | |
| − | == Multiplayer ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can host multiplayer games with your client or
| |
| − | connect to the wesnoth game server and setup your game there.
| |
| − | If you host a game with your client, other players need to
| |
| − | be able to connect to your port 15000 using TCP. If you are
| |
| − | behind a firewall, you will probably need to change your
| |
| − | firewall settings to allow incoming connections to port 15000,
| |
| − | and tell your firewall to forward such traffic to the machine
| |
| − | hosting the game.
| |
| − | You should not need to make firewall changes to join games
| |
| − | hosted on a public server or by someone else.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Public Official servers:
| |
| − | server.wesnoth.org most recent release of the game
| |
| − | devsrv.wesnoth.org up-to-date CVS version of the game
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additional servers are listed at http://wesnoth.slack.it/?[[MultiplayerServers]]
| |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | Setting up a multiplayer game
| + | {{Play}} |
| | | | |
| − | * Step 1: select multiplayer from main screen and choose to either:
| + | [[Category:Review on Release]] |
| − | ** a) join official server and create game,
| |
| − | ** b) join any other server or game hosted by another player,
| |
| − | ** c) select to host game on your client,
| |
| − | ** d) create a multiplayer game on your own computer as a hotseat game, or
| |
| − | ** e) play against the computer.
| |
| − | * Step 2: select map and configure game settings
| |
| − | (fog of war, shroud, gold per village).
| |
| − | * Step 3: configure players (teams/alliances, starting gold, faction)
| |
| − | and then wait for all players set to 'network player' to join the game.
| |
| − | You will see "network player" replaced with their nicknames as they join.
| |
| − | * Step 4: click [I'm Ready].
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Campaign Server ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can fetch additional campaigns by selecting Campaign from the title
| |
| − | screen, and in the campaign menu, selecting Get More Campaigns. This
| |
| − | will attempt to make a TCP connection to port 15002 of the campaign
| |
| − | server ('''campaigns.wesnoth.org''') so you need to ensure your firewall
| |
| − | allows this. The campaigns are contributed by users and not all will
| |
| − | work properly on the current release of the game -- check the forums at
| |
| − | if you are having problems.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Other Resources ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | In-game Help is available in scenarios, press the Help hotkey or select
| |
| − | Help from the menu. The overall homepage of the project is at
| |
| − | http://www.wesnoth.org/ and this links to many other pages related to
| |
| − | the game. Of these, our wiki at http://wiki.wesnoth.org/ contains
| |
| − | contributed walkthroughs and tips for playing the game, the unit
| |
| − | advancement tree, information about making your own scenarios and
| |
| − | campaigns, how to contribute as a developer or a translator, and much
| |
| − | more. You can also join us to chat on IRC at irc.wesnoth.org in channel #wesnoth or join our forum community at http://forum.wesnoth.org/ where
| |
| − | you can discuss the game with over 2000 forum members. The forums also
| |
| − | contain a searchable archive of tens of thousands of posts, spanning
| |
| − | over two years -- an invaluable source of information.
