Well, you can set up a multiplayer game, and set all your enemies to be controlled by the AI.

This still does require me to be connected, though.

Are there plans to implement such random maps for single-player/offline mode? I'm going to be busy with the campaigns for months, so this is a little hypothetical, though having the option to just play a scenario (in SP, offline) would be quite awesome! In any event, this is the best OS turn-based game I've ever played. You guys really did an awesome job!

You should be able to start a multiplayer game against AI units without being connected. I have done this many times!

If you select 'Host Game' after selecting 'Multiplayer', you don't need to be connected at all.

Admittedly we could make it a little more usable -- perhaps in the 'Campaign' dialog there should be an option "Single Scenario" which takes you to the same thing.

A "Scenario" button in the main menu would make this more transparent, yes. Thanks both of you, this is excellent news!

yes, the "Host game" always sounded weird to me, since it's a game nobody can join. it's a single player/hotseat game, but you don't reallly host a game, since that's wesnothd's job (If I understand correctly)

If you give your IP (or dns name if you have one pointing to your machine) others player can join you..
Wesnoth client has a "server" included.. the standalone server is good as it doesnt have graphical output and can be a official ones are a place to meet other players but its not really needed

I'll have to try out MP some time soon, just for the experience -- probably on a Sunday when the connection fees are lower. Right now, though, I'm having a blast with the Heir campaign. It's rather difficult, even on easy, and I'm early in the game, but that's a good thing!
