Product Description:

This is a fantasy-focused turn-based strategy game with units carrying over and gaining experience between scenarios. Both single player campaigns and multiplayer games are supported. This game is currently being actively developed, but is already at in a highly playable state. Although cross platform in nature, great effort is being put into making the application as Mac-like as possible on this platform.

What's new in this version:

This is a bugfix release for the stable 1.4.x branch. In this release just some smaller bugs were fixed and many translations were updated. To celebrate the release and comment on it, post in this forum thread. As with the last development series, we continue to offer two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read players changelog that only includes changes every player will probably notice and the (rather) complete changelog with (almost) all the details, which is likely to cause a serious headache...

This game is a gift to anyone who likes fantasy battle tactics games. The art is excellent, the music is enjoyable, the built-in campaigns are well-written. Reminds me of the old Heroes of Might and Magic a bit. Some people say the AI is tough and it can take a while to play up to speed. But the few beginner campaigns I've tried are a good introduction, some even introducing play concepts and strategies along the way. Can't say enough good about this. However...this latest version has crashed a few times on me, or vanished my saved games. So it seems a little unstable, maybe. Otherwise, top-drawer. Version 1.4 should rock.

I downloaded and installed Battle for Wesnoth onto an external hard drive attached to an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook, 1.83 GHz, 512 MB SDRAM, running OS X 10.4.10.

I started the tutorial and everything ran fine, but I quit the program before the tutorial was complete. When I returned to it later, neither the primary program nor the editor would open. The application would bounce once in the dock and disappear. I tried running the game by opening with Rosetta, and the icon bounced several time in the dock before it disappeared this time. I tried deleting all of the files in the preferences, but that hasn't helped either.

It looks like a great game for the price. Any suggestions on how to get it working again?

Thanks.
