What is Battle for Wesnoth?
Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based fantasy strategy game for players who want singleplayer campaigns as well as battles against other people. Its pixel-art units belong to distinct factions with different abilities, weapons and spells. Multiplayer supports Internet, local-network and hot-seat play, so opponents do not always need separate computers.
The official add-ons server supplies community campaigns, factions and multiplayer maps. The engine also supports WML and Lua scripting for creating custom content. These options extend the game beyond its included campaigns without changing the core turn-based format.
