Battle for Wesnoth

The Battle for Wesnoth is an open-source, turn-based strategy game set in a high-fantasy world. Across more than a dozen adventures spanning centuries, you lead forces through stories of exile, revenge, conquest and survival, from the plains of Weldyn and forests of Wesmere to the mines of Knalga and the peaks of the Heart Mountains.

Campaigns

The adventures include guiding a young prince fleeing the Lich Lords across the sea to find a new home, delving underground to craft a jewel of fire, and helping a young mage seek vengeance and immortality after orcs invade his village. You can also reclaim a throne from a usurping queen, defend a capital against a necromancer’s undead hordes, or lead survivors across blazing sands to confront an unseen evil.

Multiplayer battles

Online, you choose from seven fully balanced factions and battle friends across more than 50 multiplayer maps, with support for parties of all sizes.

Create and explore

The game includes hundreds of community-made campaigns, maps and factions for both single-player and multiplayer. You can also create your own using the built-in map editor, a highly moddable engine and a scripting language. A community of modders supports the creation of new adventures.
