While I don't play anymore, I used to play this game quite often. It is an absolute blast to get a few friends together, hop on a Skype call, and spend the night playing. Glad to see the game is still under development!

I started playing Wesnoth in 2005. Practised 'programming' in WML to make custom maps. There was one I designed called 'DOTW' which was a rip off from DOTA. For a good few weeks it was the most played map in Wesnoth multiplayer. Good times.

I definitely played that map back sometime between '05 and '08. It's been a while.

Being reminded that this game exists and seeing that the project is still going makes me super happy.
