How to play?
-
Open Applications > Games > Battle for Wesnoth

In the main screen you will see Main Menu on the right side and Tactical guide on the left.
-
Before you start to play, I suggest you to go to Tutorial Menu. It will teach you the basic skills.
-
Below is the Tutorial screen. Just choose the player and start to practice.
-
Then you can go to the next level. Play with the real situation.
-
You can play it in Multi Player Game or Local Game. If you play in Local Game, you have 2 player, you and your enemy. But, you have to move the enemy also by yourself.
-
So, you can play it by alone or with your friend (in the same computer).
-
OK, let’s try for sample with Local Game.
-
Click ‘Multi-player’,select ‘Local Game’ and click OK.
-
Choose the Game Map.
-
For practice, choose ‘Cave of the Basilisk’.
-
Select your Hero by Click the mouse cursor on it then the Hero will be surrounded by red circle.
-
To move your Hero, just click the destination and press Left Mouse button.
-
Your Hero then will move to a new place.
-
Then click ‘End Turn’ to switch the Turn.
-
Now is your Enemy turn. If you don’t have anyone to play with you, you move the enemy by yourself.
-
Just to the same way like you do before.
-
Click the Enemy, move the cursor to a new destination then click Left Mouse button.
-
Repeat that steps until your Hero meet your enemy face to face.
-
To start the fight, just click your Hero then move the cursor destination on your enemy area.
-
Few weapons will occur automatically.
-
Just select a weapon and click OK.
-
If you want to see the destructive power of the weapon you can click on ‘Damage Calculation’ button and click OK.
-
After you click OK on the ‘Attack Enemy’ screen, then your Hero will start attack your enemy. Don’t forget to click on ‘End Turn’ to switch the Turn.
-
Do the same way with your enemy.
-
If you can defeat your enemy, you will get the same screen like below.
