You can remove several add-ons at a time by using the new window that allows to check each add-on should be removed. The in-game editor also received improvements, like the possibility to open several maps at a time. The new 6p – Volcano map – notice the new terrain graphics making it more pleasing to the eye Maps which are already well-known from 1.8 and before have also received fixes and minor modifications. You can toggle it by pressing P or set it in the Preferences to be enabled by default when the game starts.Ī new option when creating a new game has been implemented, “Shuffle sides”, to let Wesnoth assign random sides to players when the game starts.Įxcept for those already known from previous versions, four new default maps come with Wesnoth 1.10, including 2p – Aethermaw, 2p – Arcanclave Citadel, 2p – Thousand Stings Garrison and 6p – Volcano. Slowed units are now tinted light blue.Ī new feature called Planning mode has been introduced, and it allows to simulate unit movements and attacks, without actually doing it. These new improvements really make maps and lightning look a lot more appealing to the eye. The new graphics include revamped grassland, bridges, as well as several new tiles. Also, new graphics for several terrain tiles were made and new terrain types were introduced. New unit animations are available for the Saurians, part of the Drake faction. The new Dead Water campaign introduces mermen to the main line This campaign is rated as intermediate difficulty level and contains 10 scenarios. Dead Water revolves around the mermen race, and you will have to lead a young merman to ascend to his kingdom’s throne. There is a new mainline campaign, called “Dead Water”, which raises the number of official campaigns bundled by default to no less than 16, and that is without the introductory tutorial and the hundreds of campaigns available via the add-on menu.

A ladder for statistics is also available, and the same goes for user registration, which can be done via the forums – you can register on the forum and use the same username and password in-game too. If you ask me though, with few exceptions, I always preferred the default maps and era for a serious game. These are only few examples though, hundreds or maybe thousands of them are available on the add-ons server. There are popular maps like Creep War (with dozens of variants), Conquest (which modifies the gameplay completely), or eras that put the player in a an even more dynamic, more fantasy-like universe (take the Era of Magic for example). The possibilities are practically limitless, and the user-made content is great. Various add-ons modify the game using the WML language (Wesnoth Markup Language) offering new maps, new factions, different game play,provides single and multiplayer modes.
Players control armies and the battles take place on maps made up by hexagonal tiles. Well, since it’s been out for over two weeks now and I couldn’t get the time to write a review, here it comes.įor those of you who have no idea what Wesnoth is, it’s a 2D turn-based strategy game which takes place by default in a fantasy universe, offering six default factions, campaigns, single and multiplayer (both Internet and hot seat) modes. Although I’m quite a regular player and I love this game, I preferred to stay back with 1.8.x and wait for the stable 1.10 to come out before having the real pleasure of playing it as a polished version (by the way, here is a review of an earlier alpha release). I think 1.10 is probably the most awaited release, and those of you who are fans of Wesnoth could follow its development by trying all those alphas and betas put out by the team behind it. It’s been almost two years since the last stable release, which was Wesnoth 1.8 released on April 1st, 2010, and 1.10 brings a whole bunch of new features, new graphics and tons of improvements regarding every aspect of the game over the previous versions. I’m used to making a review for each of the new major Wesnoth release, and so it is no exception with the latest version.
