What is Battle for Wesnoth?

The Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme.
Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host against whom none can stand! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.
Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir... step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost... vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage... guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home.
200+ unit types. 16 races. 6 major factions. Hundreds of years of history. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and limited only by your creativity - make your own custom units, compose your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to 8 friends - or strangers - and fight in epic multi-player fantasy battles.

Features

* Build up a formidable fighting force, starting from a single leader and a small amount of gold.
* Over 200 unit types in six major factions, all with distinctive abilities, weapons and spells.
* Experienced units gain powerful new abilities as they advance.
* Several multi-player options available, including internet play.
* Scores of different custom-designed maps, and unlimited random maps.
* Hundreds of campaign scenarios available for download via a simple in-game procedure.
* 'Fog of war' feature available for a true test of generalship.
* Sophisticated mark-up language lets advanced users make their own maps, factions or campaigns.
* Excellent language support. 35 different languages currently available.
* Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, RISC OS, BeOS, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, AmigaOS4, OS/2 & eComStation compatible.

But if you have new boost compiled for Wesnoth, then maybe it make sense to try VCMI too. That will be really cool. The one of not so many games today in which i still play from time to time (and i think not only i :) )

As far as i remember i already build something with wchar. If i remember right, there was some mess in SDK includes about that, and i add declarations manually or kind..

BOW doesn't start here and complains about "returning file "/Work/Games/Strategic/Wesnoth-1.8.3//fonts" and "could not initialize fonts". And it generates some funny files in FONTS:fontconfig/fontconfig_cache. What should I do?

Amigans Defender Joined: 12/02/2006 From: Taranto, Italy Comments: 1393	Re: The Battle for Wesnot 1.8.3 available for AmigaOS4 why you use SFS/0 and not SFS/2? SFS/0 is old. you can also use JXFS that is a good and fast filesystem as well This should cure the problem

Quite a regular Joined: 03/10/2009 From: Germany Comments: 651	Re: The Battle for Wesnot 1.8.3 available for AmigaOS4 Why? Half lazyness, half security reasons. Both machines (SAM440ep and PegasosII) came pre-build with SFS/0 system partitions. SFS/0 is still accessable by MorphOS and OS3.9 machines - so in hazard situations it might be useful ... I'm no Amiga coder nor a specialist regarding file systems, but shouldn't the underlying fs be "abstracted" enough for any application and behave the same whatever software runs? Is there somebody out there who has BoW running with a SFS/0 partition (SYS: and/or game partiton) also?

Yes, it is working here with SFS/0 sys: and game: partition. And of course thanks Andreas! The old versions stopped working with the new multiplayer servers, so this was a very honorable effort.
