	Tried it again -- still too capricious posted by jrodman @ 64.142.12.203 on May 27 2010 9:50 AM
Still too capricious, still too hard. Fun for experts, but that's it.

Re: Tried it again -- still too capricio posted by Xtifr @ 64.81.58.33 on Jul 17 2010 10:28 PM I'm not sure what you mean. The rules are very simple, the interface is quite straightforward, and there's a perfectly good tutorial. I can't imagine that you're having trouble with the mechanics of gameplay, so I assume you mean something like, "the campaigns are too difficult". Well, that's not the game, that's the campaign, and anyway, campaigns vary from easy to insanely difficult, and each has its own (relative) difficulty settings as well. If you can't beat an easy campaign in easy mode, I suspect the problem is with you, not the game. If it offends you to play on easy mode because you think you're an experienced gamer--get over yourself. The basic strategies are not particularly complex. If you rush your pieces forward, they're likely to get gobbled up. That's true in checkers. Try to stay on defensive ground--target terrain is the main determinant of chance-to-hit. In campaign mode, if you spend too much on a single scenario, you may not have enough resources for the next, so try to spend just enough to win. That last is really the only tricky bit I've found, and it's not that tricky. Yes, there's a luck factor (I assume that's what you mean by "capricious"), but it applies to both sides, and it's easily outweighed by strategy. Just remember that a 60% chance to hit still means a 40% chance to miss. Every time.   [Reply]

	Pretty Awesome. posted by Winter Knight @ 71.237.146.182 on Apr 6 2010 1:41 PM
I have almost no interest in the campaigns, but the multi-player is pretty awesome.

I guess people either love this game or hate it. Due to its popularity, I've tried this game a number of times but grow bored of it too easily. I'm a big fan of RPG and RTS games. i thoroughly enjoyed Heroes of Might and Magic 3, which has similarities to this. Still, this game bores me.

Re: I don't get it posted by Draconishinobi @ 92.84.213.37 on Nov 8 2009 12:50 PM It bores me too, but then I don't think a 1 star is appropriate. They worked hard on this, and overall, the game is good.   [Reply]   Re: I don't get it posted by Tor @ 88.156.58.21 on Apr 27 2010 9:45 PM Game is nice, but... I`m also boring with it very fast. Once I finished 3 campaigns, but never more... :( I`ve also played some times via net with cousin, and sometimes still playing with sister and cousin as 3 persons on 1 pc... ;) But 1 hour is max, later is boring... I don`t know why, since everything is ok... Game just lack with *that thing*, that make games cool. I can spend many hours with Starcraft, Civilization 2, or Transport Tycoon... But not with that one...However it`s nice to run it from time to time! :)   [Reply]

Re: My favorite game posted by lightbulbjim @ 92.48.95.213 on Oct 10 2009 5:43 PM Agreed. I've had this installed for over a year and never actually played it. I fired it up the other day and discovered what a great game it is!   [Reply]

Re: Battle for Wesnoth posted by ivanovic @ 77.178.163.242 on Sep 5 2009 3:32 PM Do you care to explain why you just give one star? Such a post really looks like plain nonsense without any reason for the rating.   [Reply]   Re: Battle for Wesnoth posted by shevegen @ 80.108.103.172 on Sep 7 2009 4:50 PM   There is no point in raising attention to people who give 1 stars and dont explain. Rather focus on people who complain about something, so you can improve on it. The guy you replied to is completely meaningless right now - it is only you who is giving him more attention. ;)   [Reply]

	Best OS independant strategy I know of posted by Stereocaulon @ 83.160.152.8 on Apr 16 2009 10:41 AM
This game has is not a fanbased copy of an existing game as so many games playable under Linux. Instead, this game offers fresh new rules, new artwork, all from the growing community that surrounds this marvel. Hats off to the community that developed, maintained, polished and extended this game.

Very, very nice Strategy game. Have been playing it since 0.42 and it works perfectly and by now it also looks very, very nice.
