Geez... Wesnoth and People's Tactics both look fun. I will have to check 'em out.

I've tryed a Wesnoth. Is a very good game.

So i've discovered a very advanced method to find very good new (and unknown) games, preferably free.

Take a very good game (say Dom2) with a large fan base and forums.
Take another (say Wesnoth).
make a ctrross-searcgh of one in the forum of the other (for both).
You'll detect the "what are you playing now?" threads written by people liking games you like that are like gold veins for excellent free games.

Hehe, a Wesnoth thread !

Sure the xp system is gamey, but in the case of Wesnoth it's intentional, you have to manage levelling in order to get a strong army.
hat's why the first scenarios are quite easy if you just try to complete the victory conditions... They are designed to help you get rather easy xp's , in order to win the following, much harder levels ! I've mostly played in 0.8.8, since they have nerfed some levels, but yet the reasoning applies.
Good luck !
