If a unit is standing on a village, they will heal 8 hp every turn. Naturally, you also have to pay upkeep for all your units. If you capture them with a unit, they will give you 1 gold income every turn. There also are units that heal themselves, like the orc trolls and elvish wose trees, and units that heal and cure friendly units around them, like the elvish druid, the human mage, the saurian augur and the mermaid priestress. Only the undead ghouls and orc assasins have this ability. However, poison can't kill an enemy unit, it will stop once working once the unit only has 1 hp left. Once it is poisoned, the enemy unit loses 8 hp every turn, until they are cured. It can be very hard to kill them if you can't do any big damage. As far as I know, only the undead bats and wraiths have this ability. Some units have draining abilities, they heal themselves for half the amount of damage that they inflict on an enemy unit. Mermaids only have 30% chance that their attack does damage on the land, but that increases to 60% in the water. So it's important to chose a good position for your unit, because the terrain affects your chance of landing a hit. The dwarfs generally do better on the mountains. For example, there are mermaids, they have a big advantage in water, but are very weak on the land. The terrain also has an effect on the units. The different factions all have unique units with different kinds of attacks. The drakes have two type of units: actual 'drakes', which are lawful, and saurians (small lizards), which are chaotic. The rebels are neutral, so their attack damage doesn't vary with the day/night cycle. The undead and rebels are chaotic, which gives them +25% attack damage at night and -25% during the day. The loyalists and knalgan alliance are lawful, which means that they get +25% damage when they attack during the day, and -25% when they attack at night. You can play with 6 different factions: the loyalists (humans), rebels (elves), northerners (orcs), undead, knalgan alliance (dwarfs) and drakes. Wesnoth is a free turn-based strategy game, with a multiplayer and campaign. I'd say that for many people, gfx are more important than the actual game. Nowadays, we've gotten so used to having very nice looking games. I had never played something turn based before, but it sounded kinda boring to not have any time pressure.Īs you can see, it looks very simple and pixel-y. I was mostly put off by its bad graphics, and the fact that it's a turn based game. My first impression of it wasn't too great, to be honest.
