About Battle for Wesnoth

This is an unofficial android port of the PC game Battle for Wesnoth.

Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based fantasy strategy game, featuring many addictive campaigns, lots of units, different races, AI controlled players, multiplayer gaming and much more.

On startup the game will need to download and install data from the internet, so be sure to have a good connection and free space on your device on the first run.


* Minimal difference from PC version

With the goal of making easier to follow official game releases, this port is focused on doing minimal modification to the PC game.
This means no UI changes.
Thus, to allow precise clicking even on touchscreens, a finger-dragging mouse emulation techinque is used. On startup you'll watch a small tutorial about it.
Also, the game needs a fairly good hardware to run on. At least a 800x480 screen and 512MB RAM are required and also a good cpu is suggested (700Mhz minimum).
Trackball and hardware keyboard will help interaction, but are not needed to play.


* Splitted data files

Game data files, which will be downloaded on first startup, are split into core, music, campaign and translations files. This way, you can choose to download and install only what you are interested into.
So for example if you don't care about game music you won't need to download music files, saving 140MB of download and memory.

The core download, which is 89MB, will allow you to:
- play single scenarios vs. another player or the AI
- download extras (campaigns and more) from the official server
- connecto to a game server to play network games


This port does not include server mode, so you cannot use this software to host a network game (but you can connect to one hosted somewhere else).


*** *** *** *** *** ***
If your device has a very high DPI value (i.e. small screen, high resolution), game fonts may be too small to read.
To fix that, tap on "Change Configuration" button which appears for a few seconds on startup, select "Startup options" and check the "Set custom display resolution". Close the popup leaving default values (Width: 800, Height: 480).
This will force the game to 800x480 resolution, and make everything in the
screen look bigger, including fonts, and this setting will be kept for following runs.

Also, if you experience trouble or have some questions, you can use official BfW forum:

In a world of asset flipping and overpriced DLC, this game is a complete gem. I saw this game on PC first and thought that it was very interesting. To see it here on Android is absolutely brilliant. If the devs are reading this, I am very impressed with your work. Sure the controls may be a bit strange but still, it was adapted from PC to ANDROID. This is my final statement, thank you so much for delivering this game to Android.

Game was unplayable. I guess I need a tablet instead of my LGV10 to even consider this game. Everything was extremely small and while I could still read the text and options, it was way too painstaking to try and select any options due to the near microscopic (exaggeration) buttons/options. The game does not appear to be properly optimized for display on smaller (phone) screens or maybe it's just awful for mine.

A well done port of the excellent open source game. The fact that even the map editor functions impressed me. The campaigns have interesting storylines. The strategy is just above my decade of strategy game playing abilities, so I really have to play again and correct mistakes.

Need to update broken campaigns, filter and Categorize them into type and race campaign. I like playing as undead, and be nice to find those easier. Great app otherwise. Also put in link to download straight from source.

i love the game,but is there any way i can get the add on campaigns,scenarios and what not to install to my sd card instead of to my device? because they take up alot of room.

Most likely the best turn based tactics game on android. Polished, with a stack of campaigns / missions to play. Playing on an 8" screen, I've found that dropping the resolution to 1280x800 and switching from mouse emulation to direct touch makes for a much speedier and enjoyable game (hold 3 fingers on the screen for the popular to switch this), although its perfectly playable either way.

As soon as I saw this game a couple months ago I was extatic. They used to have this on my elementary school computers and never knew the name. Whoever brought this to mobile you are amazing!

Great port, though it's better on tablets than a smart phone. This game is an absolute classic. If it had been released by a well known dev, it would be praised as a timeless benchmark for its genre. Although, open source means it has the advantage of always adding new content because of the great modding community. If you like turn based strategy with rpg elements- GET THIS GAME.

Excited to find this again! Bought it years ago on IOS, loved it and played the heck out of it. Several phones later finally remembered the name of the game and it's here on android! Amazing game with great user additions!

Inability to recruit where I want makes it unplayable. Add recruit selection picker and it'd be great.

Well yeah I liked the game but I was wondering if there will be any developer added factions and if there could be a mod made to combine every thing including factions

Great game, i noticed a number of people complaining that the text/everything in general was too small, you can easily fix this by changing resolution to something more fitting for your device, the default is 1920×1080

First of for ppl complaining about optimized this game was originally on pc as a free game for operating system called linux so if its bad its cause it was just moved over cause ppl thought it would be fun to play on the go overall the game is great just needs better screen optimizations

Rng is a little insane at times when 60% misses 3 times in a row but a very awesome game with mod support on android is a huge improvement on other playstore content

Old-school gold. Large file, download all optional content is almost a gig, but probably one of my most well spent gigs. PC vs AI or PC vs PC.

Interface too difficult to use. My s5 screen is small and i cant press the menu buttons not even to quit.

Guys seriously If you think that just by porting your tadk is done you are wrong because after port it is important that you make controls better they are not bad but still also I am failed to understand how come the AI is hitting me again and again during gameplay even though my hit chances are 80% and ai is around 20% also worst of all tutorials are not working and by downloading low quality music files it runs for first few starts but stops working later on also the music is only off other sound are well
