DESCRIPTION

Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme.

Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host against whom none can stand! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.

Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir... step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost... vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage... guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home.

200+ unit types. 16 races. 6 major factions. Hundreds of years of history. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and limited only by your creativity - make your own custom units, compose your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to 8 friends - or strangers - and fight in epic multi-player fantasy battles.

    NEOTRUNKS  This is just a developer release. I believe the final release will be Universal. They've made no announcements that I've seen stating that they're dropping PPC support.  (Version 1.5.2)

    ZARN THE MAD  The installer refuses to install to my HD. It claims I need at least Mac OS 10.4.4 to use the software. Since I have version 10.4.11 installed, I suspect that there is an error in the installer's configuration.

    And yes, it is an Intel machine (Mac Pro). :)  (Version 1.5.2)

    GERMANO60  WARNING: the release 1.5.1 is a developer preview, not yet a new stable release, as reported in the developers' web site.

    It crashes immediately as I try launching it on my G5 iMac.  (Version 1.5.1)
