Learn how to play with and against every faction below. You will find general faction strategies as well as unit-by-unit analysis of how to play against each of the 6 "Default Era" factions (including "mirror" matches) and the Dunefolk faction of the "Default + Dunefolk Era".

All strategies make the assumptions of a 1v1 game on a balanced map [any two player map aside from Cynsaun Battlefield] with default map settings on the latest version of Wesnoth (currently 1.17.x development branch). All guides were re-written in March 2021.

-==The Purpose of "How to play..."==
+Learn how to play with and against every faction below. You will find general faction strategies as well as unit-by-unit analysis of how to play against each of the 6 "Default Era" factions (including "mirror" matches) and the Dunefolk faction of the "Default + Dunefolk Era".
-This is a series that hopes to teach players how to play with and against every faction. Link to the appropriate "How to play..." page according to what faction you are playing (or want to study) and you'll find general strategies for that faction as well as specific unit-by-unit strategies on how to play against each of the 6 Default factions (including "mirror" matches).
-All strategies are given with the assumption of a 1v1 game on a balanced map, with the settings being 100 gold (map dependent), 70% XP, 2gpv, and fog on. Another assumption is that the game is being played on the latest version of Wesnoth (currently 1.4.3 for stable and 1.5.2 for development). The tactics will be similar under many different settings, but if your version is different the tactics may be drastically different, so keep that in mind.
