“For those who don’t know, Battle for Wesnoth is a
wonderful, completely free (licensed under the GPL) turn-based
strategy game, with a huge community, developed continuously and at
a fast rate.

“Before proceeding with the review of 1.6, I’d like to point out
that the 1.4.x series (the now old stable release) was also a very
good and polished release, so what more can Wesnoth provide with
this release?

“First of all, one of the features which was always subject of
debate on the forums was now implemented: the ability to own a
nickname in the multiplayer game. You can now join the multiplayer
lobby using your own username and password from the Wesnoth forums,
so you won’t have problems with someone else ‘stealing’ your
nickname or identifying friends. This feature was awaited for a
long time and now it’s available.”
