The Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based strategy (TBS) game with a fantasy theme.

Build your army, selecting, from one mission to the next one, your most experienced fighters. Fighters you did recruit among a great number of units, offering various strategic strengths and weaknesses on different terrains and against different opponents.

Fight to gain back the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir. Or use your dreaded power on undead to achieve domination on those foul mortals, or get a revenge for your glorious orcish tribe against these puny human armies who dared stealing your land... stories are waiting to be told. Or maybe you want to challenge your friends or strangers on multiplayer epic fantasy battles.
