Orbs
On the top of the energy bar shown next to each unit of yours is an orb. This orb is:
* green if you control the unit and it hasn't moved this turn
* yellow if you control the unit and it has moved this turn, but could still move further.
* red if you control this unit, but it has already used all its movement this turn
* blue if the unit is an ally, but you cannot move it
* green if you control the unit and it hasn't moved this turn
* yellow if you control the unit and it has moved this turn, but could still move further.
* red if you control this unit, but it has already used all its movement this turn
* blue if the unit is an ally, but you cannot move it
Enemy units have no orb on the top of their energy bar. (In older versions < 0.5.2 there was a black orb on the top of energy bar of enemy units)

Each side is given some amount of gold to begin with, and receives 2 gold pieces per turn, plus 1 more gold piece for every village that side controls.
Each unit also has a maintenance cost. The maintenance cost is generally equal to the level of the unit (but see the 'Loyal' trait below). Units that are not recalled or recruited - i.e. that lead the side or join the side voluntarily - do not have a maintenance cost associated with them.

Traits
Units have traits which reflect aspects of their character. Traits are assigned randomly to units when they are created. Each unit receives two traits. The possible traits are as follows:
Loyal: The unit never has a maintenance above 1.
Strong: The unit does extra damage in close combat, and has a few more hitpoints.
Quick: The unit has one extra movement point, but a few less hitpoints.
Resilient: The unit has more hitpoints.
Intelligent: The unit requires less experience to advance a level.

Moving
When a unit is clicked on, all the places it can move to on the current turn become lit up, while everywhere it can't move is greyed. You can then click on the hex you want it to move to. Moving onto a village that is neutral or owned by an enemy will take ownership of it. If you select destination which beyond reach in your turn the unit will enter 'goto-mode' and continue moving towards destination thru next turn(s). You can easily undo goto movements in the beginning of your turn, goto can be broken by selecting unit and choosing new destination.
You may not move through the six spaces around an enemy piece (their Zone of Control) without stopping.
You may not move through enemy unit's adjacents hexes (their Zone of Control) without stopping.

Healing
Injured units in villages will recover 8 hitpoints every turn. Injured units that are adjacent to units with the 'heal' or 'cure' abilities will also heal. Units next to unit(s) with the 'heal' ability will heal a maximum of 4 hitpoints per turn, and 8 hitpoints per turn for unit(s) with the 'cure' ability. However the more units around a unit that can heal, the less each one will be healed.

However the more units around a unit that can heal, the less each one will be healed. Maximum healing for a unit is 8 hitpoints, and thus a Troll residing in a village will only recover 8 hitpoints, not 16. Nor will a unit inside a village get extra healing from adjacent healers.
'Heal' prevents poisoning to cause damage while 'cure' removes poisoning. When poisoning is cured unit does not gain hitpoints on that turn.
Experience
Units are awarded experience for fighting, and after obtaining enough experience, they will advance a level, and become more powerful.
Multiplayer
There are a number of ways to play a multiplayer game of Wesnoth. The simplest way is a 'hotseat' game: Multiple players on one computer, each player takes the 'hotseat' when it is their turn. To start a 'hotseat' game, select 'Multiplayer' from the main menu -> 'Host Multiplayer Game'. After selecting your map, change all the names in 'Player/Type' to be human players or computer players (i.e. no 'Network Players'), and then start your game.
