*The Battle for Wesnoth* is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme
where your task is to build a great army in order to regain the throne of
Wesnoth. If you've ever played *Dungeons and Dragons* then you'll be familiar
with the sort of territory that The Battle for Wesnoth covers. It's
surprisingly complex and not a fantasy game that you can immediately get into
but The Battle for Wesnoth has many treats hidden in its depths. For a start,
the amount of roles you can play gives the game great variation. Regaining
the throne is but one scenario - you can also guard a frontier outpost, take
on a load of undead warriors and guide elves to make a new home in the
kingdom. There are more than 200 units to take control of with 16 different
tribes and six major factions. And if that's not enough, you can even create
your own maps, scenarios and unit types. This ability to create your own
style of game is really impressive for an open source RPG. The Battle for
Wesnoth is also a highly tactical game, requiring you to move units around in
order to outfox your enemies, which takes some doing with several units on
the go at once. *As far as open source RPG fantasy games go, The Battle for
Wesnoth is an excellent effort.*Download *Battle for Wesnoth 1.9.9* in
