Being that there is a difference between these two concepts, wouldn't it be better, for the sake of clarity, to not state the game as being a "free, open source, turn based strategy game" if at the end of the first section it says that the game is "Released under the GNU General Public License" and therefore free software? Jjatria 06:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
As of June 2014 the introduction presents Wesnoth as an "open source game" with no mention of it being free. Since the project describes itself as "Free" and not as open source, I'm changing the introduction to reflect that. Lowercasedefaultusername ( talk) 12:36, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, I accidentally clicked "permanent link", and I'm not sure how to undo this.
====Multiplayers==== Wesnoth have several multiplayer options such as join official server; join game, hotseat, and Human versus AI. *Join official server: This takes you to the Wesnoth's official server where you find several players playing/watching/joining/waiting games. *Join game: It lets you join servers other than the official Wesnoth server. *Host networked game: This option lets you host a server. *Hot Seat: It is a multiplayer game on one computer where players take their turn at one computer. *Human versus AI: It where you fight computers only.
Not much of a point in this section--it just describes the multiplayer menu.
The rest of the article needs a serious grammatical makeover. --

Also, things such as the races and campaigns should be referenced. Currently, they're not. CarpeGuitarrem ( talk) 20:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Do we need to include more information on certain aspects of the game, such as abilities, traits, weapon effects etc.? I would like to see it mentioned in the article if possible. Theodorel 04:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

It seems that there is a suggestion that "defense" is entirely predicated in Wesnoth on territory where a unit sits; because units actually "punch back" when attacked, defense versus offense is rather more complicated than the article currently suggests. A better indication would be that, while in a particular combat, the defensive element of the combat calculation is entirely determined by the terrain, that is not the sum total of the concept of "defense" as the game is played. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 50n0m4 ( talk • contribs) 23:19, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, Allefant, that's getting closer to it. The real choices you have in combat are when (nighttime, dawn/dusk, or daytime), what type of weapon, and what terrain you'll attack from. However, I would also note that the current article does get at the "Self-described" way that Wesnoth does it (that explanation is sort of in accordance with what the creators of the games say). So it's kind of a toss-up. 50n0m4 23:29, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

This article has good screen shots, but with one major flaw - none of them depicts gameplay. We have character art, main menu, cutscene, map editor... but no actual gameplay situation. Could someone provide one? I might do it myself as well, if I can get this system o' mine to work. Zakhalesh ( talk) 16:27, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I am going to remove the list of campaigns, as it is borderline WP:GAMEGUIDE material. I will instead focus on a few select campaigns (such as HTTT, DID, and UTBS). This article could use more information about the game's history, development, and reception, and not merely be an FAQ for the game. RJaguar3 | u | t 04:34, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
