Battle for Wesnoth User’s Manual

在Wesnoth的世界居住着人类，精灵，矮人，兽人，龙族，蜥蜴人，人鱼，纳迦，还有一些更隐蔽的，更令人惊讶的种族。在诅咒大陆穿行着幽灵；有些怪兽潜伏在Wesnoth世界的废墟和地牢中。不同的种族适应了不同的地域。人类主要居住在温带草原。兽人和矮人居住在丘陵、山地和洞穴。在森林里，精灵是至高无上的。在海域河川，人鱼和纳迦起着支配作用。

For game purposes, the races group into factions; for example, orcs often cooperate with trolls, and elves or dwarves with humans. Some other factions reflect divisions within human society — loyalists vs. outlaws, for example. In most campaigns, you will control units drawn a single faction. But sometimes factions make alliances with others, so you may face more than one faction in a scenario.

Campaigns are sequences of battles with a connecting storyline. Typical campaigns have about 10-20 scenarios. The main advantage with campaigns is that they allow you to develop your army. As you complete each scenario, the remaining units at the end are saved for you to use in the next scenario. If you choose not to use a unit at all during a scenario it is carried over to the next, so you don’t lose units you don’t use.

战役是wesnoth的主要游戏形式，可能也是最好玩的。我们建议新手通过战役来学习这个游戏的方方面面。

一个场景游戏时间30分钟到2小时不等。这是最快的游戏方式，不过你的单位不会被保留下来，而且你不能使用战役的某些单位。场景可以选择和电脑对抗或者联网和其他玩家对抗。要玩场景游戏，选择主菜单上的"多人游戏"按钮。

In general multiplayer games are played against other players via the Internet (you can also run them on your LAN if you have one). All these games are co-ordinated through the Wesnoth multiplayer server. Multiplayer games can take anywhere from 1 hour to 10 hours, depending on how many players there are (and the size of the map). The average time is between 3 to 7 hours. Games can be saved and loaded as many times as you like. So, it’s possible for some games to last 1 or 2 weeks, even though the play time is only a few hours. You cannot carry over units in multiplayer from one scenario to the next, so building up your army’s strength is possible only within the scenario.

单击“多人游戏”按钮可能会出现这几个选项：

不管是玩战役还是单个场景，基本的游戏画面都是一样的。屏幕的主体是中间的大地图。大地图上会把所有玩家动作都表现出来。大地图周围有各种游戏里面有用的信息。下面逐一介绍。

屏幕顶部从左到右依次是：

右边从上到下依次是：

在游戏刚开始的时候你只拥有少量的单位。其中之一是指挥官（有小皇冠标记）。开始时指挥官通常在城堡的一个特殊位置，称为主楼(Keep)。当指挥官站在主楼并且有足够钱时，你就可以招募军队。战役里面如果有之前场景存活下来的老兵，也可以召回。招募或召回时，指挥官不仅可以站在自己的城堡上，也可以位于你的敌人的城堡上。

The first thing you will probably want to do is recruit your first unit. Press Ctrl-R (or right click on an empty castle hex and select "Recruit") and you will be able to recruit a unit from a list of all the units available to you. Each recruit is placed on an empty castle hex. Once you have filled the castle, you cannot recruit any more until units move off. Your opponent’s commander is similarly placed on its castle keep and will begin by recruiting its troops — so don’t dilly-dally looking at the scenery, there’s a battle to be won.

每个场景通关后，活下来的部队自动保留下来。在下一关开始你可以召回他们，操作与招募类似。召回的部队通常经验值更多，因此大部分时候是更好的选择。

所有游戏方式使用一样的士兵，称之为单位。每个单位因种族，等级而不同。根据防御，当前地形和等级的不同，他们各有优缺点。详细信息参见单位列表和移动类型表

As your troops gain battle experience, they will learn more skills and become stronger. They will also die in battle, so you’ll need to recruit and recall more when that happens. But choose wisely, for each has strengths and weaknesses a cunning opponent will quickly exploit.

注意每个场景开始前弹出的目标窗口。通常你通过杀死敌人首领取得胜利，自己首领阵亡时游戏失败。但是有些场景可能有其他目标－让你的首领到达指定地点，或者救人，或者解决一个迷题，或者与敌人对抗并坚持一定回合数。

当你赢得胜利时，地图显示为灰色，结束回合按钮变成结束场景。在单击这个按钮继续之前，你可以做一些想做的事，比如更改保存选项，或者(多人游戏时)和其他玩家交流。

Your army does not fight for free. It costs you gold to recruit units and gold to maintain them. You start each scenario with gold carried over from previous scenarios (although each scenario ensures you have at least a minimum amount of gold to start if you didn’t carry over enough from previous scenarios) and can gain more by meeting scenario objectives quickly and, during a scenario, by controlling villages. Each village you control will give you two gold pieces income per turn. When you first start a scenario it is usually worthwhile to gain control of as many villages as you can to ensure you have sufficient income to wage war. You can see your current gold and current income at the top of the screen as described in the section on the game screen.

每个场景开始时你都会自动存档。如果你失败了可以读档再来。如果成功了，游戏提示你保存并进入下一场景。如果玩到一半有其它事情要做，可以先存档，日后读档继续玩。但是要记住，一个好的韦诺之战玩家永远不需要在一个场景中途存档。然而，很多新手开始经常这样做。

金钱的主要作用是通过招募和召回单位组织军队。当指挥官在城堡的主楼上，并且城堡中至少有一个空位时，可以招募或召回单位。

Each unit also has an upkeep cost. The upkeep cost is generally equal to the level of the unit, unless the unit has the "Loyal" trait (see below). Units that are not initially recruited - i.e. the leader or those that join voluntarily - usually have the Loyal trait. Upkeep is only paid if the total upkeep of a side’s units is greater than the number of villages that side controls. Upkeep paid is the difference between the number of villages and the upkeep cost.

所以，决定每回合收入的公式是

2 + villages - maximum(0, upkeep - villages)

维护费与你非“忠诚”单位等级之和相等。

如果维护费大于你拥有的村庄数+2 时，你的金钱就开始减少。如果相等，则既没有收入，也没有支出。

每个单位都属于一个阵营：守序，中立和混乱。阵营影响单位在不同时间的表现。中立单位不受时间影响。守序单位在白天更具攻击力，晚上攻击力降低。混乱单位与守序单位相反。

“白天”和“晚上”这两个词由早上、下午、前半夜、后半夜来区分。具体时间由时间图上太阳和月亮的位置标识。

下表显示不同时间段对守序单位和混乱单位攻击力的影响：

表 2.2. 时间段和攻击力

回合	图像	Day-phase	守序	混乱
1		黎明	--	--
2		白天（早上）	+25%	-25%
3		白天（下午）	+25%	-25%
4		黄昏	--	--
5		晚上（前半夜）	-25%	+25%
6		晚上（后半夜）	-25%	+25%
特殊		地下	-25%	+25%

时刻注意有些场景是发生在地下的，地下永远是夜晚。

For example: consider a fight between a Lawful and a Chaotic unit when both have a base damage of 12. At dawn and dusk, both will do 12 points of damage if they hit. During Morning or Afternoon, the Lawful unit will do (12 \* 1.25) or 15 points, while the Chaotic unit will do (12 \* 0.75) or 9 points. During First or Second Watch, the Lawful unit would do 9 points compared to the Chaotic unit’s 15.

如果是换作是同样攻击力的中立单位，不管是什么时间，他永远是12点攻击力。

单位的特质是他们内在性格的表现。特质是在创建单位的时候随机分配的。大多数单位拥有两种特质。

大多数单位可能拥有以下特质：

有些特质只对特定单位或者特定种族的单位有效。它们是：

有些特质不是随机分配的。这些特质有些可以由战役制作者分配，有些总是跟随特定类型单位出现。

有些单位有独特的攻击方式。列举如下：

有些单位拥有技能，这些技能有些直接影响其它单位，有些对该单位与其他单位的相互作用有影响。列举如下：

单位因战斗而获得经验值。取得足够的经验值后会升级，变得更强大。单位取得的经验值多少取决于对方单位的等级和战斗结果：如果杀死地方单位，每等级获取8点经验值，0级单位对应4点经验值。如果没有杀死对方则获取每等级获取1点经验值。也就是说：

当你完成一个场景时，所有存活下来的单位都可以在下一个场景召回。刚被招募或召回的单位在那一回合不能移动或者攻击。召回单位保留原来的等级、经验值、（有时会有）取得的魔法道具，并且以满血出现。

A unit’s Zone of Control extends to the six hexes immediately adjacent to the unit, and units that move into an enemy zone of control are forced to stop. Units with the skirmisher ability ignore enemy zones of control and are able to move through them freely without being forced to stop. Level 0 units are considered too feeble to generate a zone of control and all units are able to move through the hexes around an enemy level 0 unit freely.

环状图标位于单位左上角，能量条上方当这个图标颜色是：

表 2.4. 环状图标

环状图标	图像	描述
绿		If you control the unit and it hasn’t moved this turn
黄		你控制这个单位，该单位当前回合已经移动过，但还可以继续移动或者攻击敌人。
红		你控制这个单位，该单位已经没有剩余行动力。
蓝		你不能控制的友军单位
-		敌方单位顶部不显示环状图标。

Below each unit there will normally be a colored ellipses or base. The color identifies its team; in a campaign game, the human-player color is red. The team color will also show up in parts of the unit’s clothing, or possibly on a shield insignia.

通常光环是一个实心圆盘，因为视角原因看起来像椭圆。有时候你看见的是有些像直升机螺旋桨的光环，这表明那个单位没有ZoC。比如0级单位。

有些战役里面指挥官是用星形光环表示，有些是用右上角的盾形徽章表示（一些也不能失去的特殊人物），还有一些没有特别表示。用哪一种方式来表示指挥官取决于设计者的设计风格。

每种单位对不同攻击的抗性不同。单位描述中有6个数字分别表示单位对6种攻击方式的抗性。正的抗性表示单位抗性高，受这种攻击伤害少。负的抗性表示单位抗性低，容易受这种攻击伤害。

例如：龙族鳞片（Drake scales）对大多数攻击方式都有保护，但是对穿刺武器和寒冰武器就无能无力。人族骑兵总的来说保护很好，但穿刺攻击是他们防御的弱项。不死族对剑刃和穿刺武器抗性很高，但却很容易受到冲击攻击和奥术攻击。

使用最佳攻击方式对敌人进行攻击可以大大增加杀死敌人的概率。

巨魔和树人可以通过愈合自然回复。他们如果受伤了，每回合自动回８点血。注意，因为所有单位每回合最多通过治疗回８点血，巨魔和树人不能享受村庄或者治疗者的额外效果。

Some attacks can inflict poison damage on your unit. When this happens the poisoned unit will take 8 damage each turn until it is cured. Poison can be cured by waiting on a village or being next to a unit with the cures ability. Units with the heals ability can only prevent the poison from causing damage that turn, not cure it. When poison is cured the unit does not gain or lose hitpoints on that turn due to healing/poisoning. A unit can not be healed normally until it is cured of poisoning. Resting is still allowed, although it will not substantially diminish the poison’s effect.

关于治疗的小提示：

不要让受伤的单位去送死。一旦一个单位仅剩余50% HP，你就应该认真考虑把他撤退到安全地点。然后把他置于村庄或者能治疗的单位旁边（比如精灵萨满和白魔法师）。有治疗技能的单位非常有用。

This is for practical reasons: a heavily wounded unit cannot hold back or kill the enemy. During attack and counterattack, it most often will perish. Further, by sending it to its sure death, its gathered experience points (XP) are lost. Recruiting a replacement may be impossible because the leader is not in its keep or because funds are running low. Even if you can recruit a replacement, it is most often far away from the battle front. So don’t waste your units.

How do you guard wounded units? They are best guarded by being out of the adversary’s reach. No enemy can attack them if enemies cannot even come near them. The next section about zone of control (ZOC) shows how to restrict the enemy’s moves.

在动作菜单，你可以选择“显示敌方移动”来高亮所有对手能到达的区域。这个命令考虑了ZoC的影响。这样你就可以检查并确保没有敌人可以靠近你的瀕死单位。

两军相接时，你肯定想先发制人。所以你可以试着结束回合时，让你的单位停留在敌人攻击范围外。对手不能攻击你，但是很可能进入你的射程范围。

每个1级（或以上）单位都在他周围6个格子生成一个控制区域。当敌人移动到这6个格子中的任何一个，就被迫停下来，结束当前回合的移动。只有极少数拥有“游击”技能的单位忽略ZoC。

由于控制区域的存在，敌人不能从两个位置相对，中间隔1－2格的单位中穿过。通过组合成对的这样的单位，排成一条直线或者在不同的方向使用，你就可以不让敌人靠近阵形后面的受伤单位。他必须先打败组成ZoC防线的单位。如果只有很少的敌人能攻击到受伤单位，甚至单单一个单位也能在他后面形成一小块安全区域。

将你的单位排成一条线，两两之间最多留一个格子，就能形成一条相当牢固的防线。注意，wesnoth是六角战旗游戏，东西方向的不是直线，而是锯齿曲线。南北向和对角才是真正的直线。

如果敌人只从（防线的）一个方向进攻，你的任何一个单位最多受到对方两个单位同时攻击。一般来说，一个没有特别缺陷的健康单位可以承受两个与他同级或更低等级普通单位的攻击，而不会被杀死。

不幸的是，你的防线经常不得不弯曲而形成尖角，或者受到地形限制(而不能排成直线)。在折点的单位可能会同时受到3个敌人的攻击。这种情况在太短的防线的两端也会发生。应该使用具有高攻击，能适应地形或者对地方攻击抗性高的单位把守这些薄弱点。这种位置的单位最可能被杀掉，所以应该使用没有或者只有很少经验值的单位。

把部队列成直线可以有效避免单个单位被对方包围。由于ZoC限制，前后各有一个敌人的单位就被卡住了。

当前线有单位严重受伤时，你可以把他安全转移到防线后面。为了保持防线，你需要用一个后备单位来顶替他的位置。所以应该随时保持两三个单位在防线后面备用。如果你有带治疗技能的单位，后方受伤单位很快就能恢复。

可以注意到：你的单位能穿过被己方单位占据的格子。

Try to position your troops so that they are attacking from a hex with high defense against an enemy in a hex with low terrain. That way, the enemy’s counterstrikes will be less likely to do damage.

例如：你可以把精灵单位刚好放到森林边上，这样进攻的兽族就必须站在草地上，而你的精灵则享受森林地形的高防御。

前进和攻击无疑是取得战斗胜利中最有意思的部分。在你的前进道路上杀死或削弱敌人的力量，将战线向前推移。因为对手下回合会反击，所以这可能需要作出慎重做出决定。

Often, you will throw several units at a single enemy unit to finish him off, but these were forming your defensive line which is now partly broken. Maybe this doesn’t matter because you are out of reach of the next enemy unit. Maybe it does because you only managed to weaken a very strong enemy and next turn, he is going to strike back. Perhaps a Horseman can deliver the killing blow.

Striking first is an advantage because it allows you the choice of which units will face off. Take advantage of enemy weakness: e.g. direct your ranged attacks against foes without ranged weapons. Take advantage of weaknesses like Horsemen’s vulnerability to pierce. But remember that they get to attack back on their turn, so you might have weaknesses the enemy may exploit.

例如，骑手可以很好地对抗兽人步兵和巨魔幼崽，因为他们对利刃和冲击有抗性。但是他们面对兽人弓箭手或者地精长矛兵时有可能会很快就死掉。

It usually pays off if you can definitively kill (or almost kill) the faced unit. If you are unsure of finishing off the enemy in one turn, either ensure that your unit can weather the return attacks or decide that you’re willing to lose that unit. To withstand the enemy’s strikes next turn, it is often wise to attack at the range that allows the enemy to do least damage to you, rather than choosing the maximum expected damage to the enemy.

In particular, use your ranged weapons if the enemy has no ranged attack. The computer’s default choice only looks for the most damage you can deal, so using it will often result in your units taking more damage than necessary.

你还记得守序单位（人类）在白天能更好战斗，混乱单位（兽族，不死族）在晚上能更好战斗吧。最理想的是在你战斗力增强，敌人战斗力减弱的时候接触他们。在敌人战斗能力增强的时候，通常稳固防线，把持防守位置是值得的。当他们战斗能力即将减弱时，你就开始前进。

例如，精灵面对兽人晚上的猛攻可能选择在森林里防守，等太阳出来再迈进。你甚至可以注意到AI控制的兽人在白天也会积极撤退。

在战役中，建造一支有经验的部队是非常重要的。靠后的场景会假设你拥有2级和3级单位可供召回。

获取经验值主要靠杀死对方单位(根据对方等级，每等级8点)。所以，通常应该用高等级单位削弱敌人，然后把最后一击留给更需要经验的单位。特别的，治疗者通常在连续对抗中很弱，需要偷人头来升到更高等级。

刚开始的时候（这时你没有高等级单位），试着把最后一击留给一小撮单位。这会让他们更快的到达2级，之后他们可以带领你的其它单位战斗。

Don’t neglect to earn your leader experience. You need to keep him safe, but if you coddle him too much he will be too low level to survive future scenarios anyway.

要赢下战役，保持单位健康是很重要的一环。当单位受到伤害时，你可以通过村庄或者治疗者（例如：精灵萨满和白魔法师）给他们治疗。有些你将要面对的敌人，例如巨魔，可以自然回复。
