Battle for Wesnoth - a turn based tactics game in a fantasy setting. It's also available on Steam and itch.io. Coincidentally, version 1.18.0 was released yesterday.

This! I have so many fond memories of epic Battle for Wesnoth sessions with friends. That was back in High School, 12+ years ago, I still have the itch to boot it up again.

I wish that the original use-case for Battle of Wesnoth's engine, Wargus, was still being actively developed

Wasn't Wargus an StarCraft like engine?

[โ€“] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wargus and Wesnoth both run on the Stratagus engine, which was originally developed as a reimplimentation of Warcraft 2 . The engine split to allow for new games to be made, and the War2 functionality was shunted into Wargus where the project remains to this day

Last commit in Stratagus is 12 hours ago.

Stratagus is the underlying engine. My lament was directed towards Wargus. I like me some Warcraft 2, hwat can I say
