At present, Wyrmsun features one playable civilization (the dwarves) and seven quests for them, as well as two NPC civilizations (the gnomes and goblins).

The Wyrmsun Universe

In Wyrmsun, rather than living all on the same world, creatures such as dwarves, elves and humans live in separate planets. While humans live on Earth, the elves live on Alfheim, and the dwarves in a harsh world called Nidavellir. This world they share with gnomes, goblins and kobolds.

Lore Sources of Inspiration

Wyrmsun lore contains many elements adapted from the Battle for Wesnoth literature (which is also licensed under the GPLv2), for example: the storyline of the first dwarven campaign, "The Scepter of Fire", is an adaptation of a campaign of same name from Battle for Wesnoth to the Wyrmsun universe. The lore also contains many elements adapted from Norse as well as Germanic mythology.

Cool video =)

Nice. I noticed that it still needs some sort of smoke and fire, or something for when the buildings are damaged. I like the gnome icon. Kyran, the 'g' in gnome is silent.

Changing from the lower resolution to the higher resolution doesn't work.

I mispronounced a lot of things in that video.

If you tried to, you could probably make a decent recording for the mission briefings for this and AT. Your accent almost sounds like it could pass for the one in WC1&2 if you put some effort into it. It would probably be better than reading however it turned out.

I suppose a question would be why start a new game, when you could just work to improve AT?

It looks like this one is already started... Perhaps you could merge them somehow eventually, but AT would need a graphic update. A lot of the AT sprites seem like they only need some repair(a few more shades and some slight adjustments, I might be able to help with that). If you are in the process of re-branding AT, maybe you should consider merging it with this one and making it a separate campaign? But then again people like variety, so it might be good to just keep them separate.

In windowed mode, it works fine for me. In full screen mode, it is not possible to change to 800x480, but it was already like that in Aleona's Tales and Wargus (probably because this resolution is not in a 4/3 proportion).

Thanks!

Yes, the game still needs "big fire" and "small fire" effects for when the buildings are damaged, but I hope to get that added for the next version.
