COMPILING
Compiling:
First untar the package:
$ tar xfzv wesnoth-0.x.tar.gz
then
then
$ cd wesnoth-0.x
followed by
$ make
and finally
Installing:
$ make install
$ ./wesnoth
Relocating Data:
to run the program. Have fun.
By default game is installed to /usr/local. There is a way to get Wesnoth to locate its data and have the data files not under the executable. Variables with defaults are:
DESTDIR=/usr/local # base path for game binaries, pixmaps, and man pages
DATADIR=/usr/local # base path for wesnoth-data
SERVDIR=/usr/local # base path for server-binary
These are given as args to make. To install wesnoth to /opt...
$ make DESTDIR=/opt/wesnoth-0.5.1-cvs DATADIR=/opt/wesnoth-0.5.1-cvs SERVDIR=/opt/wesnoth-server-0.5.1-cvs
$ make install DESTDIR=/opt/wesnoth-0.5.1-cvs DATADIR=/opt/wesnoth-0.5.1-cvs SERVDIR=/opt/wesnoth-server-0.5.1-cvs
RELOCATING DATA
Note:
There is a way to get Wesnoth to locate its data and have the data files not under the executable. You just add the preprocessor symbol WESNOTH_PATH to point to the path the data is at. So when compiling add the flag,
-DWESNOTH_PATH=\"/usr/share/wesnoth\"
and Wesnoth will look for its data under /usr/share/wesnoth.
NOTE:
Users compiling CVS sources should 'make clean' before 'make' after any tree update.

Description
The game takes place over a series of battles, or scenarios. Each scenario pits your troops against the troops of an adversary. Each side begins with one leader in their keep.
Gold
Each side is given some amount of gold to begin with, and receives 2 gold pieces per turn, plus 2 more gold pieces for every village that side controls. Each side must pay maintenance of 1 gold piece every turn for each unit they have fielded.
Recruiting and recalling
Units may be recruited for a price, as long as the leader is on a keep, and there is at least one vacant castle hex in the castle the leader is in. Right-click and select Recruit to recruit new troops.

You are not able to move a unit on the turn you recruit or recall that unit.
Unit specialties
Unit specialties are decribed under Unit Description in main menu.
Moving
When a unit is clicked on, all the places it can move to on the current turn become lit up, while everywhere it can't move is greyed. You can then click on the hex you want it to move to. Moving onto a village that is neutral or owned by an enemy will take ownership of it. If you select destination which beyond reach in your turn the unit will enter 'goto-mode' and continue moving towards destination thru next turn(s). You can easily undo goto movements in the beginning of your turn, goto can be broken by selecting unit and choosing new destination.
You may not move through the six spaces around an enemy piece (their Zone of Control) without stopping.
Fighting
If you move next to an enemy unit, you may attack them. Click on your unit that is next to an enemy unit, and click on the enemy you want to attack. Every unit has one or more weapons they can attack with. Some weapons, such as swords, are melee weapons, and some weapons, such as bows, are ranged weapons.

Every unit has a chance of being hit based on the terrain they are on. Units in castles and villages have a lower chance of being hit. Elves in forest have a low chance of being hit.
Alignment
Every unit has an alignment: lawful, neutral, or chaotic. Their alignment affects how they perform at different times of day. The following table illustrates the different times of the day:

Units that are Lawful deal 25% more damage at day, and 25% less damage at night. Units that are Chaotic deal 25% more damage at night, and 25% less damage at day. Neutral units have their fighting unaffected by the day/night cycle.
Healing
Injured units in villages will recover 8 hitpoints every turn. Injured units that are adjacent to units with the 'heal' or 'cure' abilities will also heal. Units next to units with the 'heal' ability will heal a maximum of 4 hitpoints per turn, and 8 hitpoints per turn for units with the 'cure' ability. However the more units around a unit that can heal, the less each one will be healed.
