A Replay is a savegame which includes all the history of a game since the beginning. Replays can be used, for example, to analyze a game for possible improvement, or to watch other games from the past, or for any other purpose. In order to observe a replay, one must have wesnoth version equal to the savegame's version, or a compatible version.


Multiplayer Replays archive

Multiplayer replays are stored in replays.wesnoth.org. It's a collection of all public games played on the main multiplayer server. This archive is generated and updated automatically.

How to Watch a Replay

After you download a replay you need to place it in your saves folder.

On Mac OS X:
~/Library/Application Support/Wesnoth<version>/Saves

On Windows:
C:/Program Files/Wesnoth/userdata/saves

On Windows 7 and later:
C:/Users/<user>/appData/Local/Battle for Wesnoth <version>/userdata/saves OR
C:/Users/<user>/Documents/My Games/Wesnoth<version>/saves

On GNU/Linux:
~/.local/share/wesnoth/<version>/saves

To watch the replay:

  1. Open Wesnoth
  2. Press load
  3. Select the right replay
  4. Check Watch Replay
  5. Press OK
  6. Enjoy

Old Default Era

Some replays for older wesnoth versions were hand-picked and shared on this page for archival as well. If you have a compatible (older) wesnoth version, access the archives by clicking on the icon of the faction you want to see winning replays of.
