    Dungeons & Dragons meets LOTR. Wesnoth is fun, addictive, and challenging, it will keep you engrossed for a long time.

    The developer has created an addicting game for strategy player. I have found myself quite enamored with the level of complexity and fun this turn based "war" game. There is another game that was quite addicting for me and that was the game Close Combat that was bought and destroyed by MS. The game play was fun and exciting. I wish the author of this program could make one similar to that game but more updated than the original. I know that they still have some of these available, but it is seen only in the Windose world.

    Back in the late 80's early 90's, there were a series of games for the PC called Warlords. This game is a close cousin, updated quite a bit. If you remember and like Warlords, you'll love this game.

    As everyone says, it's addictive. It combines the concept of "leveling up" and traditional fantasy themes usually seen in RPGs with turn-based strategy. If you play games like CIV for the battles, you'll really like this game a lot. It's all battle strategy.

    You use units (varied, all from traditional fantasy) and move them around in a similar fashion to board games like Risk or Axis and Allies. Of course, these are much more sophisticated, akin to CIV, where each unit has different strengths and weaknesses, impact on other units, skills, movement points, etc.

    Best of all, you can "level up" characters to a certain degree, and keep them from one board to the next within a campaign. It's rich and robust. I can't believe gameplay this good is available free.

    I love this game. Its the only good turn based strategy game for the Mac I know of.

    If anyone knows of any other turn based strategy games (not real time) let me know.

    This is an outstanding example of a free, open-source game. In every aspect that really counts, it excels.

    The AI is extremely good, head and shoulders above many expensive strategy and fantasy RPGs. The 2D graphics have matured markedly since its earlier versions, and a lot of effort has gone into balancing the various creatures you can play and fight.

    Be warned, this game is not easy, and is extremely addictive! Regular saves will save a lot of grief!

    A very big well-done to the development team for this one.

    I have to chime in with others here and tell you that this game has always been great fun. Playability is excellent and you can use different styles of play to accomplish your goals. In the recent versions, however, this game has also become very refined in terms of its user interface, the sounds and the music and practically all other aspects of the game. If you have at least a little fun with strategy games, you must try this one!

    You said it. This is really an outstanding example of this sort of application. It gets better and better as they move along in developing it. Development is consistent and steady, changes are always for the better, not for the bloat. I love this game!

    The very best open source game available. The only game I have ever played where you can create your own characters and storys in that easy way. Fun fun fun

    Oh, a quick tip/hint. If you are totally stuck on a certain level and cannot defeat the enemy, using a hex editor like HexEdit (available here on MacUpdate) pop open the saved game file (it will be in ~/Library/Preferences/Wesnoth/saves), do a search for the amount of gold you currently have and change the number to something greater. This will give you the boost you may need to get past a particularly sticky spot.
    I personally only do this when my adventure will be over because I cannot advance due to being overwhelmed by the enemy.

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 out. 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... 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.

    200+ unit types. 16 races. 6 major factions. Hundreds of years of history. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and limited only by your creativity - make your own custom units, compose your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to 8 friends - or strangers - and fight in epic multi-player fantasy battles.
