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.

Although cross platform in nature, great effort is being put into making the application as Mac-like as possible on this platform.

  • Updated map: The Manzivan Traps
  • Removed Elder Wose and Shock Trooper from random_leader of the default era.
  • Removed Ancient Wose and Iron Mauler from random_leader of the AoH era.
  • New animation WML and macros for the Drakes.

Battle for Wesnoth ReviewIt Just Gets Better and Better - Version: 1.6.1, 5/6/2009 05:12PM PST

I've been playing Battle for Wesnoth on and off for almost a year now and it is more fun every time I play. Each release significantly improves the game, though updating to the latest version almost always requires a full 200+ MB re-download. With this latest release I've been playing almost everyday, and soon convinced my brother to try multiplayer mode with me and it rocks! The game is a little difficult to get the hang of and it rarely gets easier, continuously upping the challenge. Along with all that other greatness of the main game, there is also a large and active fan base that creates new downloadable content on a regular basis.

Oh, and family friendly-wise, a few campaigns have violent artwork in-between battles, there is an occasional mild cursing (as in about once every five hours or so) and of course since it is BATTLE for Wesnoth, you do kill other people and creatures but it isn't very graphic. If the ESRB were to rate it I would predict an E10+ or T.

Battle for Wesnoth ReviewEven better! - Version: 1.6, 4/12/2009 02:12PM PST

Although the developers' will continue to strive for further improvements and new features, version 1.6 is a mature product, significantly better than previous versions graphically and in many other areas.
Improvements have been made to the Artificial Intelligence and the stats of many units have been rebalanced for better gameplay. There is a new mainline campaign and there have been worthwhile changes to the map editor. There are also new,original music tracks, and special clips for significant events in the game.
All in all, an even better product. Probably the best free open-source game yet produced, there are many user-contributed scenarios available to load into the basic game, both single-player and multi-player.
