The Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based tactical strategy game with a high fantasy theme.
Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host whom none can stand against! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.
Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir... step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost... lead a brutal quest to unite the orcish tribes... vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage... guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home... get revenge on the orcs by using the foul art of necromancy...
There are at least two hundred unit types, sixteen races, six major factions, and hundreds of years of history. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and only limited by your creativity — make your own custom units, create your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to eight friends—or strangers—and fight in epic multiplayer fantasy battles.

A lot of you have been asking for us here, and we delivered.
For now you can get Wesnoth 1.10 for Windows. We hope to have Linux support very soon. There are also plans to put the development (beta) versions of Wesnoth on Desura.
This also means that you now have a method to download patches for Wesnoth; no more downloading the entire 300mb game every time there is a new release.
We're excited to be here. If you have any questions, you can get help on our official forums. You can also follow us on twitter.

One of the best Free and Open Source turn-based strategy games around - Hell, it bests commercial offerings at every turn, unless you're looking for the latest 3D graphics. A long development history plus a comprehensive toolkit means that there are tons of campaigns for you to play, all for free! Download to your heart's content new campaigns that contain new artwork (much of it anime-style), units and more. Up for a multiplayer session? Play online in multiple configurations; lots of races and…

Man, if I knew I could get this game on Desura I would have been a member ages ago. Used to play this back in 2008, the good old days.
and the linux client? i want the linux client IN desura, no in the official page
sudo apt-get install wesnoth
I knew i can download from Ubuntu repo but it would be good to have Linux version here :)
this ******* game was awesome
Actually it is a game about fantasy warfare, not *******. :)
Still waiting on a Linux Desura release?
Couldn't help noticing the latest version uploaded by the team here on ModDB is considerably outdated (almost by a year) :/
It has been long since the last time I used Linux, I've pretty much forgot everything about putting stuff together in it, so I'm unsure if this is of use or not.
Wiki.wesnoth.org
The url DOES say "BinariesLinux", and it is for the 1.10.3 release though...
To be true - Wesnoth is in nearly every distro's repository, and they got usually the newest version. Just install it from there.
So much time has passed and still no 1.10 for GNU/Linux.
