<p>This year Wesnoth was once again a Google "Summer of Code" program;
-one of its major results was a complete rework of Wesnoth's support for
multiplayer campaigns.
-Sides in multiplayer games are now persistent and can be carried over from one
multiplayer scenario to the next.
-The leaders of AI sides are now able to recall from their side's list.
-As a side effect it is now possible to have more than one leader with the
ability to recruit per side.

into the framework.

Wesnoth. For more information and tutorials, look at the wiki article
